The record

Toyota gave the light-duty 70 the Prado name in April 1990 for Japan with a longer five-door body, the 2L-TE and from 1993 the 1KZ-TE 3.0-litre diesel, and sold it in Europe as the Land Cruiser II; it was never sold in North America.

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.
