The 2016 Toyota Prado SUV 2.7L Automatic Standard Edition in matte black embodies the model’s iconic ruggedness. Its dark matte body pairs with a subtle chrome-accented front grille, rectangular LED fog lights, and 17-inch steel wheels (fitted with practical alloy covers). A signature rear-mounted spare tire frees trunk space while emphasizing off-road readiness. Black wheel arches, side steps, and a 215mm ground clearance balance toughness for outdoor adventures with understated functionality for urban commutes. The black finish enhances its bold, utilitarian aesthetic, avoiding unnecessary frills of higher trims.

Powered by a 2.7L inline-four naturally aspirated engine (163 hp max power, 246 N·m peak torque), this model features a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission and part-time 4WD system. Built on a durable body-on-frame chassis, it offers selectable low-range 4WD and hill start assist (HSA)—critical for navigating uneven terrain. The powertrain delivers consistent low-end torque for off-road climbs and reliable performance for daily city driving, prioritizing durability over high-performance metrics.

The cabin features durable black fabric seats (no leather upgrades in the Standard Edition) with a flexible 7-seat layout: second-row seats slide and recline for passenger comfort, while third-row seats fold flat to expand cargo capacity. Key amenities include a basic multi-function steering wheel, single-zone manual air conditioning, a 5-inch central display (with Bluetooth connectivity), and ample storage (door pockets, center console, and cup holders). The design prioritizes practicality over luxury, suiting family needs or adventure gear storage.

The rear-mounted spare tire eliminates trunk space loss, and folded rear seats expand cargo capacity to 1,833L (ideal for camping gear or groceries). With a 32° approach angle and 24° departure angle, it handles light off-road trails (e.g., gravel roads, mild mud) easily. Convenience features:  power windows, and a rugged interior make it intuitive for daily use, blending off-road capability with everyday practicality.
