00:00Join me as I put the new 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado to the test to see if it really is the
00:06most powerful SUV on the market. The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is making waves in the SUV
00:13market, and for good reason. This vehicle has been a favorite among off-road enthusiasts and
00:18families alike for decades. With its rugged good looks and reputation for reliability,
00:24it's no wonder people are buzzing about the latest updates. The Prado's history speaks for
00:29itself. It's been a robust and capable SUV that's handled everything from rocky trails to daily
00:36commutes. Toyota, as a manufacturer, is known for its commitment to building vehicles that last,
00:42and the Prado is no exception. Over the years, the Prado has built a loyal following,
00:48and the 2025 model is expected to continue that tradition. What makes this SUV so special,
00:54and what changes have been made to the 2025 model? The 2025 Prado promises to deliver on power
01:01and performance. With a new engine under the hood, this SUV is expected to put out some serious
01:08horsepower. The specs show a 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing 349 horsepower and 479 LBFD of torque.
01:18That's some serious power for an SUV. But it's not just about raw power. The Prado also boasts
01:24some impressive tech features. The new model comes equipped with a state-of-the-art infotainment
01:29system, complete with a large touchscreen display and smartphone integration. Safety features are also
01:36top-notch, with a suite of standard features like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.
01:41The Prado also gets some new enhancements for 2025, including an updated suspension system
01:48and some fresh exterior styling. These changes are designed to make the Prado even more capable
01:53on and off the road. What do these changes mean for drivers? Inside, the Prado is just as
01:59comfortable as it is tough. With plenty of room for passengers and cargo, this SUV is perfect for
02:05family road trips or weekend getaways. The interior features premium materials and a range of
02:12convenience features, like heated seats and a panoramic sunroof. But how does it perform on the
02:18road? In my testing, the Prado handled like a dream, both on paved roads and off. The new engine
02:24delivers power smoothly and quietly, and the suspension system soaks up bumps with ease. One of the things
02:31that really impressed me about the Prado was its off-road capability. I took it on some tough trails
02:37and it handled them with ease. The four-wheel drive system and high ground clearance make it a beast
02:43in rough terrain. Of course, no vehicle is perfect. One area where the Prado falls short is in fuel
02:50efficiency. It's not the most economical SUV on the market. However, with an estimated 22 miles per
02:56gallon combined, it's not bad either. The Prado also faces some stiff competition in its class.
03:04SUVs like the Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee offer similar capabilities and features.
03:10How does the Prado stack up against these rivals? In terms of price, the Prado comes in at around
03:16$50,000, which is competitive with other SUVs in its class. For that price, you get a lot of vehicle
03:24and a reputation for reliability that's hard to beat. When compared to the Ford Explorer,
03:28the Prado offers more off-road capability and a more premium interior. The Jeep Grand Cherokee,
03:35on the other hand, offers more towing capacity and a more affordable price point. I've had the chance
03:41to drive the Prado on several occasions, and I have to say, it's a real winner. The combination of power,
03:48comfort, and capability makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a versatile SUV.
03:55So who would I recommend the Prado to? If you're a family looking for a reliable and capable SUV,
04:01or an off-road enthusiast looking for a vehicle that can handle tough trails,
04:05the Prado is a great choice. Overall, I'd give the 2025 Prado a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.
04:12It's a fantastic SUV that delivers on its promises. If you're interested in learning
