November 27, 2009 – Toyota East Africa has unveiled the 2010 model of the Landcruiser Prado as it seeks to capture the growing Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) market.
Apart from being able to go from 0kph to 100kph in about nine seconds, the SUV that comes in both petrol and diesel editions helps make driving easier for you.

For instance, during cornering, the vehicle automatically corrects over and under steering. This Prado, Toyota assures is slightly lower with wider tyres that make it excellent for stability.
It also has multi-terrain select, which means the car automatically recognises and adapts to mud, sand, rock and smooth tarmac; trying to move on these as easily as possible. For your comfort of course…
Toyota East Africa Regional Managing Director Hylton Bannon says the demand for SUV’s has been steadily rising amongst customers in Kenya who are looking for bigger cars.

Bannon said: “With unrivalled interior space and a wide array of seating arrangements for maximum usability and comfort, plus technologic innovations that allow the driver to drive the same road – but in a totally. Ladies and gentlemen I’d like to now invite you to come and take a look for yourself at the new 2010 Landcruiser Prado…”
Bannon says the safety features are superior in this ‘completely new’ Prado (not a facelift) and says the elements of fuel efficiency and increased power output will be specifically appealing to Kenyans.
With the introduction of Toyota’s leasing company, Tsusho Capital, Bannon expects the vehicles to have an edge over other manufactures in the market, as effects of the global financial crisis continue to check spending.
“You don’t have to buy the vehicle cash… Tsusho will be able to provide us financing for the vehicles should any of our customers need them,” Bannon encouraged.
The cars come in a range of between 2.4 litre and 3.7 litre engines and Toyota is hoping to sell between 15 and 20 vehicles per month. You can buy it from Sh5 million to Sh9 million.
Bannon says their future prospects cover the introduction of environment and/or hybrid technology based cars in the Kenyan market.
