Buy / Import Toyota Land Cruiser Prado to Kenya 

Explore Power, Comfort & Durability – The Ultimate 4x4 SUV

The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado stands as one of Kenya’s most sought-after SUVs, known for its rugged dependability, luxurious interior, and commanding performance. Combining Toyota’s proven off-road engineering with modern comfort, the Prado is ideal for drivers who demand both adventure and sophistication — from Nairobi’s cityscape to the toughest rural terrains. The Prado as we know it was replaced in 2024 by an all new Land Cruiser 250.

Engine and Performance

The Land Cruiser Prado is powered by two proven petrol engine types as well as a diesel one that deliver exceptional torque, responsiveness, and endurance:

• V6 4.0L (1GR-FE type): Produces 249 horsepower, ensuring powerful acceleration and stability, especially on challenging roads or while towing.

• In-line 4-cylinder 2.7L (2TR-FE type): Generates 163 horsepower, offering fuel-efficient performance suited for everyday commuting and light off-road driving.

• 2.8-litre, 4-cylinder, DOHC turbo-diesel engine (code: 1GD-FTV): provides a perfect balance of performance and excellent Prado diesel fuel consumption. Maximum Power150 kW (201 HP) @ 3000-3400 rpm (in recent models). Maximum Torque 500Nm @ 1600-2800 rpm (in recent models)

All models come standard with 4WD and a Torsen Limited Slip Differential (LSD) transfer system. This torque-sensitive mechanism automatically adjusts the distribution of power between the front and rear wheels based on driving conditions, ensuring optimal grip and control in every situation.

Transmission Options
