The current generation Toyota Land Cruiser Prado has been around for a while now and is all set to receive a comprehensive update later this month. Ahead of its public debut at the 2017 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show on September 12, the Japanese auto giant has commenced production of the 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado facelift in Japan, and images of the luxury SUV at a dealer yard have emerged online, revealing the changes. This is the second major facelift on the present gen Prado, before a complete generation change in the next couple of years.

The rear has received updates to the taillights and boot for a refreshed look.
