Toyota Motors has launched the redesigned Land Cruiser Prado in Japan. The new Land Cruiser Prado is a mid-size, authentic four-wheel drive vehicle, under the Land Cruiser brand.

Its specific improvements include a roomier cabin through increased space between the front and second-row seats, as well as enhancements to the full frame structure and higher body rigidity. In addition, the adoption of a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) allows for driving stability at city and highway speeds, and a crawl control feature improves rough-road compatibility, claims the company.

Its other off-road driver-support features include a Multi-terrain Select switch to control drive power and braking in line with the off-road environment and the Multi-terrain Monitor, which displays the road conditions around the vehicle taken by four onboard cameras.

The company said that the basic concept for the new Land Cruiser Prado, based on TMC's vibrant clarity design philosophy, is suited to both urban and off-road situations.
