Toyota offers its hugely popular SUV – the Prado in a 3 door guise. And the smaller SUV has the same face and other design details, just that it misses out on the rear doors and has a very short wheelbase, when compared to the regular 5 door variant of the Prado. This reduction in wheelbase give the 3-door Prado a very funk and quirky stance that makes it stand out in a crowd.
The interiors are a copy paste job from the 5-door variant, which is not a bad thing, considering that the 5-door has a really well build cabin with the use of nice and premium looking materials. The front seats are large, comfortable and supportive, creating a very comfortable cockpit in this 3-door Prado.
The Prado 3-door comes in only one variant- the GXR variant and with just the 2.7L VVT-i engine option. Though it has the same engine and 6-speed transmission of the 5-door Prado, owing to the lower weight, the 3-door version feels faster and also more dynamic.
The GXR being the only variant is rather well equipped too. The safety kit on this compact Prado consists of ABS with EBD and brake assist, dual front, side, curtain and knee airbags, traction control, ESP, tire pressure warning, front and rear parking sensors along with a rear view camera and ISO-fix for child seats too! On the convenience features too, the 3-door variant comes with 18 inch alloy wheels, audio system with 6 speakers and a 9.0 inch display with navigation, sunroof and keyless entry with push start.
The 3-door variant might be short on the number of doors, but is certainly a very capable and funky looking variant of the Prado.
