Engine, transmission, and performance
All grades are equipped with a robust turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain paired with a full-time Four Wheel Drive system. This setup delivers 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.
All i-FORCE MAX grades feature an electric motor integrated within the bell housing to deliver stronger performance as well as enhanced efficiency. Its EPA-estimated combined fuel consumption rating is pegged at 23 MPG.
Off-Road features on the 2026 Toyota Prado
All grades are equipped with a center and rear locking differential. The electronically locking rear differential splits power evenly to the rear wheel. Suspension is also enhanced when the front stabilizer bar disconnect mechanism (SDM) is activated at the push of a button. Multi-Terrain Select functions in both 4WD High and 4WD Low, offering terrain-specific settings for Mud, Dirt, and Sand
Five selectable Crawl Control speeds are standard across all grades, providing low-speed off-road cruise control, while the Downhill Assist Control helps manage descents by limiting speed. Additional traction features on the model include Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and an automatic limited-slip differential (Auto LSD).
Customers can also equip their SUVs with the available Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM), which acts as a spotter by using cameras to display the vehicle’s surroundings on the touchscreen, revealing potential obstacles.
Chassis and towing capacity
All 2026 Toyota Prados are built on the TNGA-F global truck platform, as are the Tundra, Sequoia, Tacoma, and 4Runner. The platform is welded together using laser blank welding, reducing weight where possible, while reinforcing critical areas, resulting in a high-strength boxed frame ready for the toughest terrain.
The chassis combines with the i-FORCE MAX powertrain to deliver up to 6,000 pounds.
Interior design of the 2026 Toyota Prado
The cabin of the new 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is similar to its predecessor, with a few minor modifications. Two large multimedia touchscreen displays, including an 8-inch or an available 12.3-inch display, showcase Toyota’s Audio Multimedia system, developed by Toyota’s Texas-based Connected Technologies team.
Both systems support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and can also pair with an available premium 14-speaker JBL audio system. Qi wireless charging with enhanced power output is available as an option, along with multiple USB-C ports and a 2400-Watt AC inverter in the cargo area. Additionally, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster offering customizable styles and widgets is available as an option.
For the 2026 model year, all grades come standard with a Smart Key System with push-button start. An active Remote Connect Trial or subscription adds the available Digital Key (standard with Premium Package), allowing compatible smartphones to unlock, start, and share vehicle access remotely.
For added convenience, a credit-sized key card is also available. All grades get a 1-year Remote Connect trial for added convenience.
