CarTell take
Driven by cartell.live
cartell.live tests the new 250 Series Prado VX on Australian roads and tracks. New TNGA-F chassis, 48V mild-hybrid diesel, what changed and what stayed.
Why consider it
- TNGA-F frame shared with the LandCruiser 300, 3,500 kg braked tow across the range, and Altitude brings locking rear diff plus sway-bar disconnect into the lineup for the first time.
What to know
- Third-row space in 7-seat grades is cramped for adults because the hybrid battery sits high.
- Cargo with all three rows up is genuinely small for a 5-metre 4WD wagon.
Who it suits
Bush families, tow-rig owners, and resale-focused buyers who want HiLux-network confidence in a 7-seat 4WD wagon. VX or Altitude is the sweet spot.
