The following table lists the Toyota LC 250 Prado in Nepal for December 2024.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado rivals the GWM Tank 500.

The new LC250 gets a much-needed update in both style and safety. However, the Tank 500 does a bit more with its mild hybrid system and advanced technology features.

Moreover, the Tank’s competitive pricing and packed tech features, like adaptive cruise control and multiple off-road modes, make it a strong contender!

That being said, the LC Prado is known for its proven reliability with its long history of dominating tough terrains.

When it comes to off-road capability, the Prado’s legacy and reliability are hard to beat! However, the lack of features, especially considering the asking price of the base variant, feels disappointing.

As a simple example, the All-Rounder variant does not have a Wireless Charger, a simple feature reserved for the top LUX variant.

While the Toyota Land Cruiser excels in reliability and off-road capabilities, there is still much to improve in the feature department.
