Toyota's new Prado has won the best four wheel drive category of the inaugural 1996 QCAR awards. Queensland newspapers, the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland RACQ and the Shell Company of Australia organize and support the awards.
Queensland has tired of relying on "southern" awards - could this be the start of a separatist movement?
"QCAR contenders were assessed on the basis of equipment, performance and fuel economy, ride quality, handling and road holding, seating, interior room and cabin ergonomics, value for money and performance of intended function."
The panel judged the Prado ahead of contenders Range Rover HPE 4.6 and Mitsubishi Pajero 3.5.
