2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado J250 VX 2.7L

Import 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado J250 VX

The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado VX 250 Series (J250 chassis) pairs the structural strength of Toyota’s GA-F body-on-frame platform with the proven reliability of the 2.7-litre petrol powertrain. Finished in Grey with low delivery mileage (23,409 km), this VX trim level sits just below the top-spec ZX, featuring a power sunroof, full-time 4WD, and Toyota’s updated 12.3-inch dual-screen cabin setup., an imported late-model 2025 Prado VX 2.7L Petrol carries an estimated landed and registered market value between KSh 14.5M and KSh 16.8M, reflecting high regional demand for naturally aspirated petrol reliability.
