The updated seventh-generation Toyota Hilux has many improvements regarding both styling and comfort.
The exterior got a new hood, grille, bumper and headlights, and different rear bumper and rims. The design of the dash has been improved with the horizontal center instrument cluster reinforcing the breadth and roominess of the cabin.
First released in Japan in 1967, and one year later throughout Europe, the legendary Toyota Hilux has been a dominant presence in the global pick-up market for almost 45 years.
There’s also a new 6.1-inch color touchscreen infotainment unit with multiple connectivities sitting in the middle, while better materials have been used throughout the cabin. The Double Cab version is the biggest available, featuring four-door and proper rear seats.
To the rear, new combination lamp clusters and a new high-level stop lamp match the projecting design of the headlamps to maximize visibility. And ‘workhorse’ DLX grade models mark the reintroduction of a tough, durable flat bumper design.
Fulfilling a ‘workhorse’/’dual usage’ role, the brand new DLX+ grade is available with 2WD or 4WD 2.5 D-4D powertrains mated to manual transmission in all three body styles and with a 4WD 3.0 D-4D powertrain and manual transmission as a Double Cab only.
