New Toyota Prado vs Ford Everest vs LR Defender - Adventure SUV Category Comparison #CarsAwards

The 2025 Cars.co.za Awards, sponsored by Absa, are in full swing! 39 finalists have been selected and thoroughly tested by our 20 judges. Represented in 13 categories across a wide spectrum of pricing and segments, the Cars.co.za Awards are by far the most comprehensive car awards in South Africa. While the finalists will be announced at our Gala Awards Evening on the 28th of February 2025, we filmed 13 comparison tests across our categories with four motoring journalists. In this film, David Taylor tackles the Adventure SUV Category, where the finalists include the new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2.8GD VX-R, Ford Everest 3.0TD Wildtrak and the Land Rover Defender 110 D350 X-Dynamic HSE. While we wait for the winner to be announced, David Taylor conducts an in-depth test of all three cars back-to-back at the Gerotek Test Facility, and gives us our opinion on which one he would take home. In this video he looks at engines, practicality and basic offroading.
