The Prado has earned its reputation the honest way, on roads that stop being roads. With a 4.0-litre V6, permanent all-wheel drive and seven seats, this is the car for Kazbegi and the high passes beyond Gudauri.
The white Prado is the one you see parked at trailheads above two thousand metres, usually with local plates. Its 4.0-litre V6 makes an honest 249 hp, and permanent all-wheel drive with a low range means the plan survives contact with the dotted lines on the map.

The road to Ushguli leaves the tarmac behind Mestia and turns into rutted gravel with a river for company. It is the kind of drive Georgia is loved for, and the kind the Prado handles without drama. Autohub offers Toyota Land Cruiser Prado rental in Georgia from $100 per day, delivered to Tbilisi, Batumi or Kutaisi airports; from Kutaisi the mountains of Svaneti are only a morning away.
The 2020 Prado pairs a 4.0-liter petrol V6 with 249 hp and full-time all-wheel drive. Seven seats make it the honest choice for a family circuit of Kazbegi and Gudauri, and while 8.8 seconds to 100 km/h will not trouble anyone, the calm it keeps on a washed-out mountain track will reassure everyone aboard, driver included.
