(Prospective buyers are advised that the benefits will vary between model variants, model year and manufacturing year. Please visit the nearest Toyota showroom for exact details.)

The current generation Hilux models are stunning in design and amenities. Their performance and safety parameters are amongst the best and the strong frame and suspension impart toughness for any demanding task. Apart from this, high-quality materials are used to ensure an attractive look and feel. The distinctive Toyota grille renders the Hilux instantly recognisable. Tough tray bodies protect cargo and increase carrying capabilities, while alloy wheels or steel wheels are fitted with wide tyres for a better grip.

The Hilux is the product of a meticulous customer feedback & terrain research by Toyota. In developing Hilux, Toyota wanted to fundamentally rethink what ‘tough’ meant. They heard from people that the vehicles are the foundation of their lives, an indispensable tool, space for the family, and so on. By getting to know the roads and the people, they learned that a different kind of “tough” was needed. Under rough road conditions, of course, the vehicle should be tough. In addition to that, sometimes long-hour drives with family also require tough which means keeping it comfortable and safe.

To realise the development concept, Toyota performed many field tests on various roads, conditions, environments all over the world. The Hilux is all about “Redefining Toughness”.

The Hilux is therefore not only a tough vehicle, but also an advanced pick-up with stylish cues hitherto found only on SUVs. The front of the Hilux gives a sense that the vehicle is wider than it is. The horizontal bars that make up the grille and sleek headlamps that wrap around the front of the fenders achieve this. The Hilux sports a thick, chunky front steel bumper sculpted like a SUV vehicle, front fog lamps, alloy wheels, rear lamp chrome garnish apart from side stripes that adorn the vehicle.

The vehicle’s interior continues the concept of ‘Tough and Emotional’, and reflects the same attention to detail as the exterior with SUV vehicle styling, accents and ornamentations. The key features that keep you comfortable are the auto air conditioner, multi-information display, 7” display audio with DVD player and many more.

Equal importance has been provided to the technical superiority and safety features of the Hilux. The noteworthy features include a2.7 Litre Petrol Engine that is available in 5-speed manual transmission and 6-speed automatic transmission and outputting 164 HP. Hilux also comes with a 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine with 6-speed manual transmission delivering 148HP.

The Hilux comes equipped with a number of active and passive safety features like Anti-Lock Braking System, Electronic BrakeForce Distribution and Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control, Hill Assist Control, Active Traction Control, SRS Airbags for the Driver and Front Passenger and Knee Airbag for the Driver.
