Toyota PRADO 2012

Postby pankajrg on Mon Oct 24, 2011 2:20 pm

Dear all,
Does anyone have any information on the PRADO 2012 Model? When will the Model be launched & what are the new features compared to the 2011. Sadly the dealer does not have any info on the 2012 Model or rather does not want to reveal (maybe to get rid of the 2011 stock).
Some info that I got is that the 2012 Model will have a new Stereo.
Anybody having any info please share..... :)

I kinda have a liking with the two door Prado, they made very less alterations with the 2011 models it's just some minor mods like the more aggressive looking headlights.

2012 should be pretty much the same as 2011. The new shape just came out a year or so ago. I think the stereo might be whats new, but then not much more :)

2011 or 2012 just make sure you dont buy the fully loaded one with the fancy (kdss?) suspension. the damn thing does not even sit straight and leans to one side. according to the dealer here that is 'normal' lol. i feel sorry for the owners who spent 200k+ on a car with crooked suspension.

yes, stay away from the KDSS. it leans to the right & even the dealer cant solve the problem. See the link below.

Really sympatise with ths guy. After spending such money you at least expect the car to be on equal level on both the sides.
The TXL models, which are free from KDSS is a safe bet. Although the price for 2012 has gone significantly up.

I think Prado has priced itself out! Great vehicle but at those prices, there's a lot more choices.
