So many automotive brands jostle to have the upperhand in the giant-of-Africa market, in various species of vehicles. This competition has seen the evolution of automobiles reach astounding heights that reemphasizes this age as a technological and digital one. The salon cars, pickups, trucks, etcetera, herein bear the fascinating touch of the Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes, Ford, Kia, Mitsubishi, and IVM labels.

But in terms of sports utility vehicles (SUVs), the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is the automobile love-interest of a substantial number of Nigerians and this is proved true by its strong presence on almost all Nigerian roads. Also, its current widespread usage by most government levels in the country for official purposes, magnify Prado’s desirability and suitability for the terrain in this part of the globe.

Wrapped up in a bold-looking shape, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a sports utility vehicle manufactured by the renowned Toyota Company. The successive editions of the SUV have portrayed strategic modifications that make people keep coming back for more. The newest 2017 Prado model showcases prestige and efficiency. It contains an impressive 2.7 litre petrol, 3.0 litre turbo diesel or 4.0 litre (V6) petrol engine.

The exterior is designed with so much finesse that it elicits a mental picture of a well-built young handsome gentleman beaming courage. Its somewhat intimidating, classy front view with 17 & 18 inche alloy wheels to match makes it very attractive. The interior reeks of luxury that enables the owner/user to mix comfort with ease (facilitated by the in-built bluetooth) that keeps one connected while on the road. Rear seat entertainment is provided for as well as seven passenger seats, when compared with other regular SUVs, accommodates more people.

    Of a truth, it has a good exterior but the 2.7 liter engine for such a big vehicle is nothing to write home about because it is very sluggish. Also, the reason you can’t find it in the second-hand market is because it isn’t used in the United States and most of the used vehicles used here comes from there
