Why is the Prado called 'Badao'?
1 Answers
Toyota Prado's nickname 'Badao' originates from the name used for the imported Prado models in China before it was locally produced as a joint venture. The name 'Badao' is also a phonetic adaptation from when the Toyota Prado was first imported into China. Below is a detailed introduction to the Prado: 1. The Toyota Prado is a full-size SUV known for its outstanding off-road performance and comfortable driving experience. Whether in the mountains or on plateaus, the Prado is ubiquitous, leading off-road enthusiasts who yearn for freedom across vast landscapes. 2. Thanks to its robust body-on-frame construction and four-wheel-drive system, the Prado has consistently earned a strong reputation for its off-road capabilities across generations. The current Prado model is equipped with Toyota's latest 7GR-FKS 3.5L engine, replacing the previous 2.7L version. The 3.5L engine features D-4S dual injection technology, delivering a maximum power output that is 4kW higher than the older 4.0L engine, though torque is reduced by 16Nm.
