We headed up to the Blue Mountains in a Toyota LandCruiser Prado Kakadu. This model comes with all the little luxuries that makes a 4WD comfortable.

As it’s the middle of winter it was exceptionally cold. Heated front seats were appreciated as was the general cabin heating.

Its especially comfortable inside. You seem to just relax into the seats and there was plenty of room for me. Also there seems to be a place for everything. Wireless charging tray, large cup holders for the coffees and hot chocolates and a huge centre console bin.

Rear seats are spacious and come with two isofix and thee top tether points for bay seats. However the boot space is surprisingly limited with an intrusive hump, which apparently houses the hybrid battery.

I actually think it would be squashed to take a pram and all the baby gear needed. Given the size of the 4WD that’s a bit disappointing

The roads were icy and snowy so the Full time 4WD was a great safety feature.

The mild hybrid diesel engine has plenty of performance and the economy is excellent.

Prado Kakadu is priced from about $100,000 dollars plus the usual costs.

The Prado is due to be replaced soon, but the current model is still definitely worth a drive. In fact, the current model has been removed from the Toyota website.

The Prado is a seven-seat dual range 4WD that is equally at home dropping the kids to school as it is on an outback holiday. That’s why they have been so popular.

The Kakadu comes with a heap of additional technology to assist off road driving as well as comfort , luxury, and safety features.

Unfortunately, the smart phone connectivity is wired, and the central screen is small by today’s standards, but it’s a very comfortable place to sit and drive the vast distances in Australia.

Prado comes with the 2.8L Turbo diesel that has some 150kW of power and 500Nm of torque. This is matched to a 6 speed sports automatic transmission.

The Prado Kakadu is priced from around $87,500 plus the usual costs, but you may be able to get a runout price from your local dealer.
