Get it to Australia now! New Toyota LandCruiser Prado gets the Tundra treatment in epic new renders - but will it be a hybrid?

We know that a new LandCruiser Prado is around the corner, with one of Toyota's oldest vehicles well due for an all-new model. But what we don't know yet is just what it will look like.

Still, I'm sure we can agree that if it looks anything like these Tundra-inspired renders, Toyota wouldn't be able to keep up with demand.

These come from the team at Digimods DESIGN, with the designers clearly taking inspiration from Toyota's tough-truck design language, which is already at play on the Toyota Tundra, and which is expected to appear on the new HiLux and Tacoma.

It's a strong look for Toyota's tough-as-nails 4WD SUV, and given the brand's recent design direction, one that – we think – will end up landing pretty close to the model itself.

Prado power shock: All-new Toyota LandCruiser Prado to adopt four-cylinder Hybrid Max powertrain from the Crown SUV - reports Toyota ups pricing across the range, but which model copped the biggest increase? Confirmed! Toyota HiLux, LandCruiser, and more are going hybrid

Expected to launch in 2024, the new Prado will usher in a new era for the brand, with reports pointing to electrification appearing in the model for the first time, and even a possible shift away from its traditional diesel powertrain.

Recent reports quoting "company insiders" from the USA suggest the model will debut the four-cylinder petrol-hybrid from the just-released Crown, the brand's new flagship vehicle that will launch in multiple body styles.

While several different engine setups are available in the US-spec Crown, the one reportedly earmarked for the next-generation Prado is the Hybrid Max, which pairs a turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor on the rear axle for a combined 253kW and 542Nm.

The current Prado is getting a bit long in the tooth.

It's news foreshadowed by Toyota itself, with a company executive recently telling CarsGuide that "it makes sense that the LandCruiser, the Prado, the HiLux and other commercial vehicles are going to have to adopt some sort of electrification as we get closer to (2030)."

Toyota is yet to officially confirm just what will be powering the Prado, or exactly when we can expect to see it. But if it looks like this? It will be worth the wait.
