Introduction
The Toyota Prado LC120—also known globally as the Toyota Land Cruiser 120, Prado J120, or Land Cruiser J120—is a durable and reliable SUV widely used in the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia, South America, and Africa. Although the LC120 still performs strongly in off-road environments, its interior design has become outdated. Dark color schemes, basic plastic trims, small screens, and manual controls make the cabin feel old compared to modern SUVs.
To meet the demand for modernizing older LC120 vehicles, the LC120 to LC250 Interior Upgrade Kit provides a complete interior transformation. This upgrade converts the cabin into the newer LC250 style with advanced multimedia, modern controls, premium trims, and improved ergonomics.
