It’s a soft launch that we totally never expected on a Monday. And yes, since you’re on an automotive website, we’re talking about an important all-new vehicle.

If you check out the Toyota Motor Philippines website, the 2025 Land Cruiser Prado is now available, complete with the official specifications and retail prices of the new off-road SUV. Underpinned by the TNGA-F platform shared with the LC300, the Land Cruiser Prado in its new J250 guise takes on a retro-inspired boxy styling inspired by the J60 Land Cruiser from the 80s.

But what we immediately noticed with the PH-spec version is the front grille that looks different from the US-spec models that were launched earlier in the year. If anything, the vertical slats remind us of the previous-generation Prado J150, along with the use of the Toyota T badge instead of the TOYOTA words spelled out in the standard and First Edition models we saw in other markets.

The PH-spec Prado also sports body-colored fender trims for a sleeker appearance, while it rolls on a set of 20-inch wheels wrapped in 265/50 rubber.

Inside, you have all kinds of power adjustments in the seats and steering column, with leather upholstery found all over the car. There’s also LED illumination for the door trims, foot, room, and ignition. The 12.3-inch infotainment system features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with a 10-speaker sound system.

As we’ve reported previously with the LTO homologation documents, the 2025 Land Cruiser Prado is solely powered by a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder non-hybrid turbo engine called the T24A-FTS. It produces 281 PS at 6000 rpm and a healthy 430 Nm of torque at 1700-3600 rpm sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Much like its more luxurious twin, the Lexus GX, the Land Cruiser Prado gets intelligent 4x4 capabilities such as multiple terrain modes and locking differentials for off-road use, and comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense.

The 2025 Land Cruiser Prado retails for PHP 4,800,000 and is available in the following colors: Avant-Garde Bronze, Black Mica, and Pearl White Mica (+ PHP 15,000).
