Is the 1GD-FTV engine in the new Prado's Euro 5 or 6 compliant? Some websites say its Euro 5 and others Euro 6?

I am pretty confident that my late 2015 is "only" Euro 5, in the UK Euro 6 became law in September 2015 but I think in Australia Euro 6 only became compulsory on 1st July 2108.
Whether this means that a new Prado has to use adblue to comply I don't know either but I am sure someone will give you the answer.

Hi,
The 2.8 engine euro 6b was introduced in Europe from September 2015 with Adblue add.
From September 2018 and the new vehicle test procedure "wltp", the euro 6b moved to euro 6c.

I agree with JohnLynn that the best proof of euro 6 spec is the Adblue function.

Thanks for the responses, so can anyone in Australia who has purchased a Prado recently advise if they now have Adblue? I read somewhere that Toyota were reluctant to bring the euro 6 setup to Australia unless the quality of fuel in Australia improved, but apparently, new cars in Australia have to meet Euro 6 standards by July 2018, so i'm guessing they must have Adblue now in order to comply.

I have an Oct 2018 build VX, no ad blue
