2014 Prado videos:

Looks like an angry bulldog from the front. Not sure I like that big round dial in the console, too much like a Camry.

Thanks for sharing the videos though, nice to see what's coming.

Dealer looked up the bulletin today, facelift Kakadu will have blind spot icon in mirror. They said that don't expect every feature in other markets including appearance to be the same in Australia. Many changes for GX and GXL. They said the current Prado looks different in China, Europe, NZ etc. A build request was put in by them within the past week and it is still the current model. Delivery is expected in 3 - 4 months, so they think the new one will not hit our roads until December at the earliest. This is not my opinion, but that of our dealer

Euro V. Yuk, diesel particulate filter.

Production starts aug 26 for the aus market, doesn't mention any changes to pricing (was shown vehicle bulletin at a dealer).

I'd upload the bulletin from a south african website but apparently the attachment limit is 19.5kb....

When the new facelift hitting our shores? Has anyone got the dates and pricing for the new models?

[whitey89]

the engines and transmissions remain the same, the 3 door has been removed from the lineup.

Diesel upgrade

On Nov 1st Oz will go to Euro5 diesel regs See: http://www.dieselnet.com/standards/au/#my02

Does this mean the facelift will get the European 140kW/420Nm D4D which was introduced for their Euro5 regs?

120 resale value went up again

Aint that the truth

[retroenduro]

yuk, sorry but IMHO that looks awful! it looks bug eyed. the current 150 is bad enough and took me a while to get used to but that just put me off my dinner

It could have the same TD motor as the 200 series and I still wouldn't buy it...

[Smac]

so no news on motor upgrades? If hilux is getting updated next year, then maybe Prado will get new motors with that

Still can't go passed the 120, very classical.

120 resale value went up again

JMHO but really don't like it..starting to look very 'yanky SUV/people mover like. Very Square a bit Dodge like.. Not doubt they'll sell loads of units so maybe in 10 years time I'll like them more when my eyes get more used to them. Still can't go passed the 120, very classical.

And I agree with yowie - good luk fitting a bullbar to that!
