Facelift for 150 series prado

[yowie]

Don't like the look of the bumper bar. The front of the current 150 does not look as good as the 120, but I became used to it eventually, until the TJM bar was fitted.

Will require a bit of cutting to fit a bar onto that face!

It will be interesting to see how many of the changes for the new lexus are actually implemented to the Prado (specifically the AU model). I was always under the impression that Lexus was Toyota's "Luxury" arm, therefore many things mentioned for the GX460 are probably aimed at competing with the other luxury SUV manufacturers (i.e. BMW, Mercedes, etc.) who already offer these features as standard fitments. I would be very surprised if we actually saw them on an AU spec Prado.

The GX460 already has a number of significant differences compared to what is offered in the Prado in Au including a completely different interior, a V8 petrol engine and under-slung spare (which I hope they do offer as an option in Au).

In latin america, they offer both variants, spare tyre under the vehicle and spare tyre attached to the tailgate...probably will be the same for the 2014 models..

[brucester]

So if the spare tyre is under the vehicle does that mean fuel capacity reduced. Not good design

[smakb]

That headlight design looks like it will be hard to to fit a bull bar around without looking ugly.

Can current 2013 models get the EU tune if that's what they are bringing out?

[flatchange]

Official Prado facelift release in Aus "dealers" is Monday 21st October. FYI, Three door will no longer be offered for sale, so if you want one, buy one now.

[Symo]

Any ideas what is in store? Is it just the EU tune coming to Aus? 140kw/420NM D4D?
