The record

Toyota built a lighter 70 Series on coil springs front and rear with the Hilux engines for buyers who wanted a small wagon: the Bundera in Australia, Land Cruiser II in Japan and Europe. The Prado 70 of 1990 developed it into a longer five-door and the Prado 90 of 1996 made it a separate line.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
