Prado Kakadu driven for 2025

Is the Prado Kakadu any good for a family

Prado Kakadu – I’ve just spent a week in the top spec Toyota LandCruiser Prado, the Kakadu. Priced from $99,990 dollars plus the usual costs it’s not cheap but does come with everything Toyota could throw in there.

The new Prado comes with a completely new exterior style and interior makeover. But with many familiar underpinnings.

The 2.8 litre turbo diesel 48Volt mild hybrid engine is a carry-over from the previous model. It has reasonable performance and economy. Full time 4WD and an eight-speed automatic transmission complete the picture.

Little luxuries like:

  • heated and ventilated front and outer rear seats
  • electric front seats with adjustable lumbar support
  • wireless smart phone connectivity and charging and a
  • 20-inch alloy wheels

All add to the ambience.

The outer middle row seats have isofix and to tether points for baby seats. Boot space using five seats is reasonable, but the high load level is a bit of a pain if you are trying to lift a heavy stroller.

The new Prado remains a favourite family 4WD Wagon.
