The 2024 Toyota Prado is on its way but should you even bother waiting or should you just get into a current‑generation Prado?Sure, the new‑gen Prado will look very different and is tipped to have features not onboard the current Prado, but it'll also have a mild‑hybrid 2.8‑litre turbo‑diesel engine, producing the same power and torque as the current Prado.So, does the Kakadu represent a good buy?

The Nissan Patrol is an evergreen offering in the Australian large SUV/4WD market with dedicated fans loving its comfort, off‑road ability and effortless naturally‑aspirated V8 performance. Mark Oastler has been spending time with the Warrior Ti, a more adventurous locally re‑engineered model, to see how it stacks up as day‑to‑day family transport.
