Toyota Land Cruiser Prado's Latest Package Brings It Back to Black

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado's Latest Package Brings It Back to Black Text Toyota sells the Land Cruiser Prado in other markets, which is the equivalent of our Lexus GX without the fancy badge and trimmings. Smaller than the Toyota Land Cruiser sold here in the United States, the Prado also offers a diesel engine and different styling cues. Newly refreshed, the SUV gets a sleek Black Pack that makes us wish—even more than we usually do—the Prado would find its way to our shores. The Black Pack doesn't put the Land Cruiser Prado into full stealth mode, but it adds a number of dark accents to the exterior and interior.

Next-Gen Toyota Land Cruiser Caught Showing Its Evolutionary Style

Well, that's if spy pictures of the internally named 300-series Land Cruiser that recently appeared on social media sites are to be believed.  Admittedly, the evolutionary styling of Toyota's newest iteration of its flagship SUV comes as little surprise. After all, the big box's basic design has remained much the same for decades. Still, images posted to the  "Instagram account ""Land Cruiser Updates"" give us a better idea of what to expect from the new Toyota 4x4, including its redesigned front and rear ends, as well as its interior. " While the latest Land Cruiser appears to maintain the current 200-series model's big and boxy stature, it does appear to adopt more modern design details. Better yet, the next-gen SUV's styling looks more cohesive. Credit a mug that cleanly merges the Land Cruiser's headlight decor with that of its massive...
