Since arriving on our shores in late 2024, the new Toyota Prado 250 series has proven that it lives up to the high expectations set by its predecessor.
In early 2025, Prado sales were up 63%, with the Toyota Prado 250 nipping at the HiLux’s heels and outpacing the Ford Everest by over 1,000 units.
And it’s no wonder why. With its bold redesign, buttery smooth handling, and enhanced driving experience, the all-new Toyota Prado 250 range—which replaces the outgoing Toyota Prado 150—transitions between city streets and off-road exploring without missing a beat.
So, let’s talk about how Toyota Prado seat covers keep your interior in great condition through all of those adventures.
The Evolution of the Toyota Prado 250 Series
The new Toyota Prado 250 series is all about balance.
It’s retro on the outside and packed with modern features inside. It boasts a 2.8-litre turbo diesel, with electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) to stay nimble. It comes with several off-road traction options, paired with advanced safety and infotainment features.
Based on early reviews and sales figures, it’s fair to say that this balanced approach helped the 250 series become an instant hit.
Trim, Tech, and Seating Get a Modern Overhaul From The Outgoing Prado 150
Toyota’s 2024 Prado range delivers significant upgrades while retaining many of the best features from its predecessor, the enduringly popular Toyota Prado 150 series.
EPAS offers lighter steering (especially at low speeds) compared to the 150’s hydraulic system.
Smoother and quieter ride, with minimal cabin vibrations and a more refined engine sound.
A slightly stiffer ride than the classically cushy 150.
Built on the LandCruiser 300 series ladder chassis for a comfortable ride.
Hybrid assistance and two extra gear ratios make the 2.8-litre turbo diesel more responsive.
There are also big upgrades in the seat department. For instance, the GXL and VX variants feature powered and ventilated seats, while the Kakadu model includes heating and ventilation in the rear seats.
GX and GXL models come with cloth seats, which are accented with leather in the VX and replaced with premium leather in the top-of-the-line Kakadu.
Additionally, seven-seater Toyota Prado 250 models have nine airbags covering the back seats.
Judging by how popular our Toyota Prado 150 seat covers have been over the years, we’re confident these upgrades will make the new model a verified showstopper.

Protect Your Prado’s Interior
With all the features and functionality built into the 250 series seats, tailor-made Toyota Prado seat covers are the only way to go. As well as ensuring a perfect fit, model-specific seat covers provide access to comfort and safety features like levers and in-seat airbags.
But there are more benefits to investing in high-quality seat covers for the Toyota Prado 250 series.
Shield Against Wear and Tear
Daily use exposes your Prado’s interior to potential damage. Spills, scratches, pet hair, kid’s messes, UV rays, and moisture can all deteriorate your seats over time. Heavy-duty seat covers put a barrier between the upholstery and these elements.
Style and Comfort in Every Driving Environment
The right seat covers elevate your driving experience. They reduce friction when getting in and out, help regulate temperature, and don’t restrict access to seat controls and safety features.
Our tip is to buy matching console covers at the same time. It’s a small touch that significantly enhances both aesthetics and comfort.
Maintain Resale Value
A well-kept interior can help to increase your vehicle’s resale value. Seat covers keep the interior looking new, which is appealing to future buyers.
We know you’re not planning to part with your Prado 250 for many years. Still, it pays to think about these things early to increase the potential return on your investment.

How to Choose the Best Seat Covers for Your Toyota Prado: Turn-by-Turn Guide
Assess Your Needs
Think about all the things that unprotected seats encounter on a simple beach trip: salt stains, moisture, sand in the crevices, and harsh UV rays in the carpark, to name a few. Now imagine what they need to withstand throughout a lifetime of adventure.
This is why a custom-fit seat cover made from a durable all-rounder material like 14.9-oz canvas is better than a generic cover made from Neoprene. It protects against all the elements, so you’re ready for anything.
