Released in Australia in November 2017, the Toyota 150-Series Mk.IV (150-IV) LandCruiser Prado introduced a revised range that was solely powered by 2.8-litre turbo diesel engines.

Furthermore, the lower corners on the new front and rear bumpers ‘kick[ed] upwards to enhance off-road manoeuvrability’, while the rear mask had new tail-lamp clusters and a smaller rear garnish plate incorporated within the number-plate surround.
