Performance
Innovations for Off-Road Performance
Crawl Control
Crawl Control provides optimal throttle and brake control, maintaining a constant low speed to support safe, sure driving on sand, dirt, rock, snow, mud, steep grades or other surfaces that require fine accelerator control. Five speeds are selectable via a dial-type switch, with fully automatic throttle and brake control that free you to concentrate on steering the vehicle. On models without Crawl Control, Hill-start Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control fully support Prado’s driving performance.

The result is a powerful and responsive driving experience that lives up to the Prado tradition. *VVT-i: Variable Valve Timing-intelligent
2.7L L4 Gasoline Engine 2TR-FE
Exhilarating driving performance with class-leading acceleration smoothness and reduced vibration for higher fuel efficiency.
Safety
The Leading Edge in Safety
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is an advanced system that enhances driving convenience. When traveling at a preset cruising speed, it uses millimeter wave radar to detect and monitor the vehicle ahead, regulating speed as needed to maintain a driver-defined following distance (long, medium, or short), and returning to the preset cruising speed when it detects that the vehicle ahead has changed lanes. (Optional on automatic transmission models)
Blind Spot Monitor
If a vehicle is in the outer mirror’s blind spot when changing lanes, the BSM’s mirror indicator turns on to alert the driver. If the turn signal is then activated, the mirror indicator flashes on and off.
SRS Airbags
SRS airbags contribute to driver and passenger safety by helping to minimize impact force in certain types of collisions. Ample features include SRS curtain-shield airbags that cover all three rows of seats in a severe side collision. An SRS knee airbag is also available for the driver, which assists the seatbelt function and bolsters protection by restraining the lower body (mainly the knees).
