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?

2021 Peugeot 5008 Summary

Previously on carsguide.com.au: Peter Anderson drove the Peugeot 5008 and quite liked it. 

I don't think it's going to be a huge shock to learn that the recent update to the 5008 seven-seater has improved the car and, therefore, my opinion of the car. 

Except, it's more than an update. Prices are much higher than when I drove the Crossway edition 5008 in 2019 (remember those happy times?) and the difference between the petrol and diesel engines is especially wide now in 2021.

The updated 5008 shares a great deal with its 3008 sibling and the two share a very important attribute - they are distinctively French, in a good way.
