Released in July 1996, the Toyota 90-Series Mk.I (90-I) LandCruiser Prado was a four-wheel drive wagon. Manufactured in Japan, the 90-I LandCruiser Prado had a full-time four-wheel drive system and a two-speed transfer case. The range consisted of RV, RV6, GXL and VX Grande variants.

Released in August 1999, the Toyota 90-Series Mk.II (90-II) LandCruiser Prado was fitted with eight seats as standard and introduced 60/40 split and folding second row seats (with three head restraints) for easier access to the third row of seats and easier-to-use 4WD controls which enabled the centre differential lock to be engaged ‘on the fly’. The Toyota 90-II LandCruiser Prado could be identified by its deeper front bumper with wider openings. Furthermore, V6 models were fitted with clear rear combination lamp lenses and the radiator grilles were used to provide greater differentiation between the variants (i.e. vertical black grilles for RV, RV6 and GXL variants and horizontal-bar chrome grilles for the others). Inside, the V6 and turbo-diesel models were fitted with a more legible three-dial instrument cluster (including an electronic odometer), new seat materials and upgraded door trims.
