The Final Verdict! Toyota LandCruiser Prado Long-Term Review

The new 250 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Prado did not land in Australia in a slam dunk in 2025, with huge upgrades in some areas coming with huge downgrades in others.

It was for that reason that Chasing Cars opted to bring a new 250 Series Prado GX onto our long-term fleet to find out how our impressions fared over the longer term.

We’ve already shared our comparison of the new Prado against the Nissan Patrol and the Tank 500, with the Toyota taking a loss and win against those rivals respectively.

In this final wrap-up review, founder Tom Baker shares his thoughts on the Prado and explains which one you should buy and what other options you should consider.
