2025 Toyota Prado Summary

Anticipation for the 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado was high, to say the least, because previous generations of the Prado have been much loved as 4WD touring vehicles. It was hoped that the new Prado would carry on that adventurous spirit but also represent a substantial shift forward for the model.

The new-generation Prado (aka the 250 Series) is larger than previous Prado iterations – it’s based on the same TNGA-F chassis as the LandCruiser 300 Series, the Lexus GX and the Toyota Tundra – and it is able to tow the industry standard 3500kg rather than the 3000kg the previous generation is limited to.

It also looks a lot different to previous Prados as it now has a straight-up-and-down retro-style appearance as opposed to the softer style of Prados past. 

Our test vehicle, the Altitude variant, is the second most expensive grade in the range and is marketed as the most off-road-capable of the line-up. It has a locking rear differential, front sway bar disconnect system, and all-terrain tyres.

So, the new Prado is bigger and bolder than ever before – but is it better?

2025 Audi Q7 Summary

The updated Audi Q7 is a bit of a game of ‘spot the difference’ - but even though it’s far from a new generation, the update is more than just some shiny new bits.

While the brand’s first SUV is still in its second generation, a bit of modernised design and some tech tweaks are aimed at keeping it in line with rivals, even as it nears a decade on sale. 

As well as the new features, there’s also a new variant bound for Aussie showrooms. So, is it still up to the task?
