Wald International has unveiled the new Toyota SUV, the Land Cruiser Prado, the Desert Series Black Bison Edition.
The model features a design reminiscent of the Brabus G-Class on the Land Cruiser Prado, a legend in the off-road SUV world.
It is receiving attention worldwide for its bold and powerful exterior and its complete reversal of the unique identity that the Land Cruiser has had so far.
Black Bison Edition: A Design Revolution
The Black Bison Edition was first revealed through renderings last year and was actually unveiled at the 2025 Osaka Auto Messe.
Initially, there were two versions of the design, but the only model revealed so far is the lifted version with a higher garage. The exterior design is truly eye-catching.
The custom bumper features a complex air intake, DRL (daytime running lights), and an aluminum skid plate supporting powerful off-road performance. The large bonnet scoop and additional parts mounted on the roof improve aerodynamic performance while adding visual intensity.
For the side, it features a noticeable change. The body has been widened through wide fender extensions, and large wheels with mud-terrain tires are placed inside.
Thanks to the lift kit and extended track, the vehicle has a more powerful presence on the road and performs well off-road.
Rear Design: Aggressive and Unique
For the rear end, it boasts a more aggressive design.
A sports-style bumper and diffuser have been added to give the car a unique feel, and an air outlet has been added above the fender. However, some say the wing mounted on the rear spoiler is somewhat heterogeneous in design.
Urban Low Version: More Style than Performance
The urban low version, which was revealed only through digital rendering, contains more extreme changes.
The wheels and tires have been significantly changed, and the vehicle height has been lowered to emphasize speed and style rather than performance.
Although the Prado’s off-road performance may be limited, its design is interpreted as aimed at fans who want a tough SUV.
Performance & Customization
Although the Black Bison Edition offers significant visual and design upgrades, the performance enhancements have not been officially disclosed. Given the multiple powertrain options for the Land Cruiser Prado, tuning can be considered to match the desired performance.
Pricing & Availability
No official price has been announced for the Black Bison Edition. As for availability, it’s uncertain whether the model will be launched outside of Japan, though the Black Bison kit was previously released for the Land Cruiser 300 series. Interested buyers can explore various customization options.
