The SUV is equipped with permanent all-wheel drive with reduction gear and rear differential lock.
For the Japanese market, a special First Edition is presented, limited to 8000 units.
Prices for the Land Cruiser 250 First Edition start at 7 850 000 yen for the ZX version, making it the most expensive version of the model in Japan.
Unlike the European and Australian Prado, the Land Cruiser 250 does not have a “mild” hybrid. Also missing is the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain offered in the US.
