5-star ANCAP crash rating
Seven SRS airbags standard including driver knee
ABS with EBD, brake assist and VSC standard
Engine oil service every 10,000 km or 12 months
Diesel timing belt replacement every 150,000 km
Fuel tank 87 L single or 150 L twin depending on body
Engines include a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel with strong low-down torque and a 4.0-litre petrol V6. Combined fuel use sits lower on the diesel automatic. Both suit mixed road and light off-road work.
Follow the 10,000 km or 12-month service schedule for oil and filter changes. Diesel models need earlier fuel filter attention under hard use. Timing belt work falls due at 150,000 km on the 3.0 diesel.
Safety kit starts with seven airbags, ABS, EBD, brake assist, vehicle stability control and traction control across the range. Higher grades add cameras, sensors and optional pre-crash systems. The body structure uses reinforced pillars and sills for better crash energy management.
The ladder-frame chassis and proven mechanicals make the Prado straightforward to keep on the road. Regular differential and transfer-case fluid checks help longevity, especially if used off sealed surfaces.
