EXPERT RATING

8.5

John Law

Deputy News Editor

The seven-seat Toyota Prado VX is aimed at the affluent buyer who drives mostly on sealed roads.

It gets a traditional ‘Lux’ grille design along with 20-inch alloy wheels and body-colour cladding, think of the VX as a high-sheen RM Williams to the GX’s steel-toed Blundstones.

Inside, the theme continues with genuine leather-accented upholstery, heating and ventilation for the front seats, eight-way power adjust for the driver and four-way for the passenger.

A refrigerated centre cubby, carpet floor mats, power-adjust steering column, 14-speaker JBL sound system — that isn’t a huge upgrade — and terrain monitoring cameras finish out the equipment levels.

The Prado has not been rated by ANCAP yet but comes fully featured with adaptive cruise control (that can be set to regular if you wish), lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, speed sign assist, driver-attention monitoring, rear occupant alert and nine airbags.

It uses the same ‘GA-F’ ladder frame platform as the larger 300 Series and a version of the old 150kW/500Nm 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder with a ‘V-Active’ 48-volt starter generator. The VX also gets adaptive dampers with greater drive mode customisation and the same 3500kg braked towing capacity.

John Law

Deputy News Editor

Born in Sydney’s Inner West, John wasn’t treated to the usual suite of Aussie-built family cars growing up, with his parents choosing quirky (often chevroned) French motors that shaped his love of cars. The call of motoring journalism was too strong to deny and in 2019 John kickstarted his career at Chasing Cars. A move to WhichCar and Wheels magazine exposed him to a different side of the industry and the glossy pages of physical magazines. John is back on the digital side of things at CarsGuide, where he’s taken up a role as Deputy News Editor spinning yarns about the latest happenings in the automotive industry. When he isn’t working, John can be found tooling around in either his 2002 Renault Clio Sport 172 or 1983 Alfasud Gold Cloverleaf.
