The 2023 Prado VX and Kakadu are the same beef beneath the badges: 2.8‑litre turbo‑diesel, 150 kW/500 Nm, 6‑speed auto, full‑time 4WD.
Prado VX – pros: better value, genuine luxury kit and safety tech, and fewer complicated gadgets to service; cons: misses the Kakadu’s off‑road trickery and some plush touches.
Prado Kakadu – pros: adds Multi‑Terrain Select, Crawl Control, adaptive suspension with rear air, sunroof and a posher cabin; cons: pricier, heavier, and more complex suspension to maintain.
Both tow up to 3,000 kg braked and claim around 8 L/100 km on the official cycle, though your right foot may disagree; don’t expect me to pick a winner. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
