In Japan, A Brand New Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Matte Black Edition Debuts

In Japan, A Brand New Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Matte Black Edition Debuts

August 4, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


The SUV Receives Several New Trim Pieces

The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado continues to serve its purpose and is now offered in Japan in a new Matte Black Edition. This comes after the 70th Anniversary Edition, which went on sale last year just in time for the unveiling of the new Land Cruiser.

The new Matte Black Edition adds some style to the SUV but doesn’t improve performance. Toyota has added matte black trim elements all around the vehicle, including the headlamp garnish, fog light bezels, and the grille and grille insert. The SUV also gets 18-inch matte black six-spoke metal alloys.

The outdated SUV need a major renovation, so the upgrades aren’t really big. It is smaller than the Land Cruiser, which was introduced for the 2010 model year and entered a new generation last year. Since then, the SUV industry has undergone tremendous shift, and a new LC Prado may be in the works.

Last year, Toyota introduced the brand-new Land Cruiser LC300, giving it brand-new foundations in the shape of Toyota’s TNGA platform.

The SUV had a significant exterior redesign and a thorough interior makeover to bring it into line with the other SUV models in the market. When the redesigned Land Cruiser Prado is released, we anticipate it will be built on the Land Cruiser’s new platform.

Specifications:

Only white or black are offered in the Land Cruiser Prado. The SUV’s powertrain looks to remain unchanged and will likely continue to be either the 163 horsepower (121 kW) 2.7-liter gasoline engine or the 201 horsepower (149 kW) 2.8-liter diesel engine. A six-speed automatic transmission transmits power to all four wheels.

Price Tag:

For between $32,662 and $38,739 at the current exchange rate, Toyota is asking for between 4.3 and 5.1 million for the Land Cruiser Prado Matte Black Edition. The Lexus GX sold in the US is comparable to the Land Cruiser Prado. It is a little less sturdy than its full-sized sister and smaller than a normal Land Cruiser.

In Pakistan, Have Toyota’s Days Come To An End?

In Pakistan, Have Toyota’s Days Come To An End?

July 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


Toyota Indus is said to be ceasing automobile manufacture in Pakistan and may be required to reimburse advance payments made for reserved vehicles.
Toyota has earlier said that the major cause of the production hiccup was the restrictions on the LC permission for CKD (completely knocked down units) imports from the State Bank of Pakistan. In June and July, the corporation also noticed two weeks of idle manufacturing, which delayed production.

Due to challenges importing complete knockdown (CKD) kits and the sharp decline in the value of the local currency relative to the US Dollar, Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) is preparing to cease manufacturing in Pakistan for an extended period.

To deal with sluggish CKD imports, the business has previously established non-production days (NPDs). However, new rumor’s imply that Toyota IMC would suspend manufacturing for an extended period of time, however they do not specify how many days.

According to our sources, the corporation will formally reveal its production delay scenario the following week. Customers who are unable to wait for delayed delivery will also receive refunds for any advance payments they made on Toyota Indus vehicles. Toyota Indus may have to stop all manufacturing if the situation doesn’t improve.

The State Bank of Pakistan has limited the opening of Letters of Credit (LC) to a number of industries, including the automotive sector, as a result of the devaluation of the rupee on the global market. This has disrupted the manufacture of vehicles and delayed deliveries as a result.


We will give customers the option to avail a refund with the full interest. In case they choose not to opt for this (refund), they will have to wait at least 3 (more) months from the delivery month given on the Provisional Booking Order Form and (also) pay the price differential due to the exchange rate situation.


The business will probably soon make a formal announcement in this respect.

The predicament of Toyota IMC has given rise to rumours that suggest its time in Pakistan may be numbered.

An industry professional that ALL ABOUT CARS contacted said that these rumor’s are wholly untrue. He stated that the business intended to start anew shortly and clear the backlog of orders in the interim.

Despite not importing its CKDs directly from Japan, Toyota IMC’s car assembly operations have been hampered by the chip shortage and other logistical problems. As the carmaker continues to struggle in Pakistan and other nations, Toyota’s sales are anticipated to suffer greatly.
