1kz j90 prado vs 1hdt 80 series Land cruiser

Hello, looking to buy a 1KZ 3000cc prado or 1hdt 80 series . Getting a few solid ones. However i want to know the accurate fuel consumption for city (Karachi) and highway driving as i will be swapping out my Gli Auto 1.3 which already gives a poor 7.5-8 kmpl average. So if a Prado or Land cruiser does similar numbers it makes sense for me. Already have a 1FZ 4.5 petrol 80 series and i am familiar with the platform. The diesel prado or LC will be a replacement for my corolla.

Hi, As per my knowledge the 1KZ gives around 10 km/l. Although this also depends upon the driving style. A good car with a good engine would give around 10.

If you want 80 series vs j90, the Go for j90 prado. 1hdt is difficult to maintain & and also ride is not comfortable (coz of solid front axles, compared to IFS of j90).
Fuel consumption of j90 would be around 8 to 9. 1hdt around 6 to 7.

yeah that's what i thought too until i read here people claiming 6-7 for a 1kz so that put me off as then it wouldn't really make sense switching out my corolla for this

So what would be better? J90 1kz prado or 1kz surf,under a 3.5mil budget

Prado does give 6-7kmpl depending upon driving style. Driven calmly without revving unnecessarily 7.5kmpl is maximum i have achieved with 17 inch tyres.
Milage also depends on the condition of the engine and car.
But generally the fuel consumption of a j90 (Automatic) is around 6-7kmpl

With turbo cars, the thing is that if you take performance from the engine it gives 7-8 and if you drive calmly, like an SUV should be driven in city then you can achieve around 10 depending on traffic. I have a 1kd myself and people claim it gives 9 km/l but i usually get around 11 with a few acceleration pulls and moderate traffic.
Considering your gli is only giving you 7.5, i would assume that you have a heavy foot and with a heavy foot prado will give you the same mileage. i.e. 7.5. If you tailgate other vehicles and apply too much breaking then you are gonna get worse mileage. With an SUV i had to change my driving habits a lot.
That being said Prado is not comparable with a Gli in any way. All the dynamics are different. Also SUV in daily driven capacity is not as agile as a car. There are compromises on both sides.
