it all depend on your usage plan. a daily ride ? or occasional long trips. choose only after considering your priorities. As daily ride a 4x4 is very bad idea

aleekhan1 (aleekhan1) 2014-05-07 20:08:15 +0500 #4

for village trips once in a month

If you want a economical vehicle, then buy a car ........ If you buy SUV, then forget economy

But still if you wana know about economy of SUV, then Diesel Prado is economical with Manual Gear (H)

1KD is not suitable for the high sulphur diesel available in Paksitan, 3RZFE i.e. 2700 cc is way underpower specially if you plan to but 5 dr Prado the only option remains is 5VZFE i.e. 3400 cc petrol.

1KZ(96-99) is fuel thirsty although it suits our local diesel but gives 5-6 km/l in city and 8-8.5 km/l max.

Download the Prado 90 series brochure from here, it would be helpful:

TOYOTA LAND CRUISER Data Library

I know a doc sb, he has 3dr 96 prado with original 5VZFE, i.e. 3400 cc, he gets around 7-7.5 km/l in city and around 9 km/l on highway.

Never go for 2700 cc surf or Prado or you will regret and will sell it soon with huge loss.

Depends on how heavy it is, tyre pressures, aero accessories, driving style etc. But yes, 10 is achievable.

about what ? my daily ride is a sedan the other 2.7L is not for me.

memad (memad) 2014-05-15 15:46:29 +0500 #15

Sedan or dinky:)

hiace comes with 2.7L you can put 3 CNG cylinder underneath the 3 seats.

2.7 means PONAY TEEN and that makes it a Vespa with side car - and out of love for my sohrab bi-cycle I call it a sedan
