The third rung up the ladder in the 2018 Toyota Prado range is the VX, which is only available as an automatic and sees a considerable price jump over the GXL auto – it lists at $73,990 plus on-road costs, but that’s $911 less than 2017.
The VX brings additional items such as 18-inch alloy wheels, panoramic/surround-view camera monitor with low-speed forward view setting, ventilated front seats, heated seats front and rear, a cool box between the front seats and LED fog lamps. It also sports leather seat trim, and a 14-speaker JBL sound system.
And if you spend this much you also secure more safety equipment in the shape of blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
That’s over and above what you get in the models below: lane departure warning, a pre-collision safety system with pedestrian detection, auto high-beam lights, and automatic cruise control. Also standard: bi-LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED fog lamps, and lamps in the sun-visors. There’s also the addition of privacy glass, roof rails, side steps, a leather-lined steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, and a rear differential lock.
The VX is automatic only, powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with 130kW of power and 450Nm of torque. It has permanent four-wheel-drive, with 4H and 4L drive modes. Fuel use is rated at 8.0L/100km.
