Toyota's LandCruiser
Prado is Australia's fastest-selling SUV so far in 2010, according to official stats.
Prado's achievement is even more remarkable because sales of SUVs, or sports-utility vehicles, are growing faster than any other segment.
To the end of June, Prado has outsold all other SUVs in Australia with a total of more than 9,000 delivered to customers.
That's a gain of 44.1 per cent compared with the same period last year.
By comparison, the average sales increase for all SUVs is 30.8 per cent - while the overall new-car market has risen just 16.7 per cent.
Prado is noted for its extremely high customer loyalty, luxurious comfort around town and its supreme off-road performance.
All up, Australian motorists have bought more than 160,000 Prado 4WDs since its introduction to Australia in 1996.
Toyota is now offering the LandCruiser Prado VX with an optional satellite navigation pack, which includes a navigation screen that also functions as a monitor for the reversing camera, plus five extra speakers (a total of 14) for the sound system.
