Here are the key selling points of the Land Cruiser Prado, available through Zen Cars:
Unmatched Reliability and Durability:
- Built for Tough Conditions: The Land Cruiser Prado boasts a robust body-on-frame construction, a hallmark of the Land Cruiser lineage, ensuring exceptional strength and durability to withstand Kenya's diverse road conditions, from smooth highways to rough, unpaved tracks.
- Proven Toyota Engineering: Benefit from Toyota's renowned reliability and engineering excellence, minimizing downtime and ensuring peace of mind for years to come. This is especially crucial in regions where access to specialized mechanics might be limited.
Superior Off-Road Performance:
- Capable 4x4 System: Equipped with a capable four-wheel-drive system, the Prado offers excellent traction and control in various off-road scenarios, be it muddy trails, sandy plains, or rocky inclines encountered during safaris or upcountry travel.
- Multi-Terrain Select (MTS): Select models feature the Multi-Terrain Select system, allowing drivers to optimize vehicle settings for specific off-road conditions like mud, sand, or rocks, enhancing confidence and capability in challenging environments.
- Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS): Available on higher trims, KDSS automatically adjusts the suspension based on the terrain, providing enhanced wheel articulation for improved off-road stability and a more comfortable ride on uneven surfaces.
- High Ground Clearance: The Prado's generous ground clearance allows it to easily navigate obstacles and rough terrain without damage to the undercarriage, a significant advantage on Kenyan roads.
Comfort and Convenience for Everyday Driving:
- Refined On-Road Experience: While being a capable off-roader, the Prado also delivers a comfortable and composed driving experience on paved roads, making daily commutes and long highway journeys enjoyable for both the driver and passengers.
- Spacious Interior with Flexible Seating: Available in both 5-seater and 7-seater configurations (excluding the TZ-G), the Prado offers ample space for families and luggage, catering to various transportation needs in Kenya.
- Modern Interior Features: The interior boasts improved visibility, a modern tablet-type navigation system, and a metallic finish on the center cluster and meter panel, enhancing the sense of quality and sophistication.
- Comfort Features: Depending on the trim level (TX and TX L Package), features like cruise control and power seats add to the driving comfort, especially on long distances.
Powerful and Efficient Engine Options:
- 2.7L Petrol Engine: The reliable 2.7L inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine provides a good balance of power and efficiency for everyday use and moderate off-road adventures.
- 2.8L Clean Diesel Engine (1GD-FTV): Available on select models (TX, TX L Package, and TZ-G), this engine offers enhanced torque and improved fuel efficiency, making it ideal for long-distance travel and more demanding off-road situations. Diesel engines are also generally favored in Kenya for their durability and fuel economy.
- Fuel Efficiency: While a large SUV, the diesel variants of the Prado offer respectable fuel efficiency, crucial for managing running costs in Kenya, especially with fluctuating fuel prices. Expect highway fuel efficiency in the range of 12-14 km/l and urban efficiency around 8-10 km/l for diesel models. Petrol models will have slightly lower fuel efficiency.
Enhanced Safety:
- Toyota Safety Sense P: This comprehensive collision avoidance support package is standard on all Prado models, providing features like pre-collision system, lane departure alert, and adaptive cruise control, significantly enhancing driver and passenger safety.
Stylish and Modern Design:
- Evolved Exterior: The Prado's exterior design has been updated to project a stronger and more advanced look, featuring an integrated large front grille and headlights, and LED headlights for improved visibility.
- Premium Details: Features like the newly added 19-inch aluminum wheels (cut luster + dark gray metallic paint) add a touch of modern sophistication to the vehicle's appearance.
- Improved Interior Aesthetics: The lowered register ring and the redesigned steering wheel with special decoration contribute to a more premium and user-friendly interior environment.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2018 / 2019 Specifications:
The Land Cruiser Prado from Zen Cars is more than just an SUV; it's a reliable partner for all your journeys in Kenya, offering a unique blend of off-road prowess, on-road comfort, safety, and style. Visit Zen Cars today to experience the legend firsthand.
Below are some of the specifications for a 2018 / 2019 Land Cruiser Prado from Japan.
It varies with those released in Australia, UK or South Africa markets which are trimmed to specific local specifications.
The Land Cruiser Prado is a full-fledged SUV that pursues not only off-road performance but also comfortable driving performance on the road. The lineup includes the basic "TX" with a 163 horsepower 2.7L inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine, and the "TX L Package" based on the TX, which is equipped with cruise control and power seats. In addition, the "TX", "TX L Package", and "TZ-G" are available, which are the first models in Japan to be equipped with the 2.8L clean diesel engine "1GD-FTV". (5-seater and 7-seater models are available except for the "TZ-G".) The exterior has evolved into a design that further enhances its strength and advanced features. At the front, the center of the hood has been shaped to take forward visibility into consideration, and the large front grille and headlights have been integrated to create a powerful look. In addition, LEDs have been adopted for all headlights, and 19-inch aluminum wheels (cut luster + dark gray metallic paint) have been newly added. At the rear, the combination lamps have been reduced from sticking out, and the garnish design has been changed. The interior has improved visibility by lowering the top of the register ring (air conditioning vent), and the navigation system has a thin, tablet-type shape to emphasize modernity. The center cluster and meter panel have been given a metallic finish to enhance the sense of quality. The steering wheel has been designed for ease of grip, and its special decoration creates a sense of unity with the instrument panel. The collision avoidance support package "Toyota Safety Sense P," which supports safe driving, is standard equipment on all vehicles. Prices have been changed due to the consumption tax change.
The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a mid-size SUV that has been produced by Toyota since 1990. It is considered a "light-duty" version of the larger Land Cruiser, focusing more on on-road comfort and less on extreme off-road capabilities, although it still retains significant off-road prowess. The Prado has gone through several generations, each with its own design and features. Here's a summary of the generations, including some trim names in Japan and other markets:
Predecessor:
- J70 (Light Duty): Before the Prado was officially named, lighter-duty versions of the Land Cruiser 70 series were sold under different names like Land Cruiser II and Bundera in various markets starting from 1985. These could be considered the precursors to the Prado.
Generations of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado:
-
First Generation (J70; 1990-1996):
- In Japan, it was initially marketed as part of the Land Cruiser 70 series but with a focus on on-road use.
- Japan: Offered in trims like SX, EX.
- Other Markets: Known simply as Land Cruiser Prado.
- Available in 3-door "short" and 5-door "semi-long" body styles.
- Engine options included petrol (2.4L) and diesel (2.4L turbo, 2.8L, 3.0L turbo) engines.
-
Second Generation (J90; 1996-2002):
- This generation was when the Prado truly established itself as a separate model line from the heavy-duty Land Cruiser 70. It featured a more rounded and comfortable design.
- Japan: Offered in various grades, including RZ, RX, RS (3-door) and TZ, TX, TS (5-door). High-end models featured options like leather upholstery and wood trim.
- Other Markets: Land Cruiser Prado was the common name. In the United Kingdom, it was known as Land Cruiser Colorado, and in Venezuela, the 3-door version was called Toyota Merú. In North America, this generation formed the basis for the Lexus GX 470.
- Available in 3-door (90 series) and 5-door (95 series) versions.
- Engine options expanded to include petrol (2.7L, 3.4L V6) and diesel (3.0L turbo) engines.
-
Third Generation (J120; 2002-2009):
- Featured a redesigned body and improved on-road dynamics with a focus on a more car-like driving experience, particularly with the front suspension.
- Japan: Trim levels included TX, TZ, and RZ (for both 3-door and 5-door).
- Other Markets: Generally known as Land Cruiser Prado. In Australia, special editions like Pilbara, GX Limited, and a 5-seat Standard variant were offered. This generation also served as the basis for the Lexus GX 470.
- Available in 3-door and 5-door body styles.
- Engine options included petrol (2.7L, 4.0L V6) and diesel (3.0L turbo, with an update to the 1KD-FTV engine later in the cycle).
-
Fourth Generation (J150; 2009-2023):
- This generation saw the Prado and the Hilux Surf lines effectively merge in some markets. It continued to offer both 5-door and (in some markets) 3-door versions. It underwent two significant facelifts (around 2013 and 2017).
- Japan: Main grades included TX, TZ, and TZ-G. Features like third-row seating with power folding became available.
- Other Markets: Land Cruiser Prado remained the prevalent name. In Australia, trims like GX, GXL, VX, and Kakadu were offered. In North America, this generation was the basis for the Lexus GX 460.
- Initially offered with similar engines to the J120, but later saw the introduction of the 2.8L turbo-diesel engine.
-
Fifth Generation (J250; 2023-Present):
- The latest generation represents a significant redesign, moving towards a more rugged and classic Land Cruiser aesthetic.
- Japan: Offered in grades like GX, VX, and ZX, as well as a special First Edition.
- North America: The Prado is being reintroduced to North America under the Land Cruiser name (without the "Prado" suffix), with trims like Land Cruiser 1958, Land Cruiser, and Land Cruiser First Edition.
- Engine options include turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, with hybrid powertrains being introduced in some markets.
It's important to note that trim names and availability can vary significantly depending on the specific market. Toyota often tailors the features and model designations to suit local preferences and regulations.
