What is the maximum displacement of the Prado?
2 Answers
The maximum engine displacement of the Prado is 3456ml. Relevant information about the Prado and engine displacement is as follows: Introduction to the Prado: The Prado is an imported ORV, originating from Toyota's globally renowned LAND CRUISER series. In 1996, Toyota officially named the LAND CRUISER FJ90 as the PRADO Prado, marking the true first generation of the Prado. Introduction to engine displacement: The commonly referred engine displacement actually refers to the total working volume of all cylinders in the engine, which is the product of the single-cylinder displacement Vh and the number of cylinders I. The so-called working volume refers to the gas volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, which can also be understood as the gas capacity of the cylinder chamber, also known as the single-cylinder displacement. Generally, the size of this single-cylinder displacement depends on its bore diameter and piston stroke. The longer the bore diameter or the piston stroke, the larger the displacement.
I've driven a Prado for several years, with the largest engine being a 4.0-liter gasoline V6, specifically around 3956cc. Earlier versions had a 2.7L engine, but after upgrading to 4.0L, the power increase was noticeable—faster acceleration and easier hill climbing, plus excellent stability at highway speeds. However, fuel consumption is relatively high for daily city driving, averaging around 18-20L/100km, so fuel costs need careful budgeting. Compared to smaller-displacement SUVs, the Prado's 4.0L engine is better suited for long-distance travel or off-roading, with a sturdy chassis that handles rough roads well. For new buyers, I recommend considering usage scenarios—strong power but higher fuel consumption is a trade-off. Current models mostly maintain this displacement, and reliability is excellent; it can easily last a decade. Pay attention to spark plug maintenance and carbon buildup to extend its lifespan.
