Major changes inside the cabin

The biggest attraction of the new Hilux is going to be its interior. The company has completely redesigned its cabin and dashboard. Now it will get two large 12.3-inch screens, one of which will be the digital instrument cluster and the other for the infotainment system. This is a huge upgrade over the old 7.8-inch unit.

The special thing is that this new infotainment system will also support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which will make the driving experience more convenient and modern.

No mechanical changes to the engine

Even though major changes have been made in the design and features, Toyota has adopted a no-change policy on the engine front. The new Hilux will get the same old and reliable 2.8-litre diesel engine, which is also used in the Toyota Fortuner. This engine is capable of generating power of 201bhp and peak torque of 500Nm with automatic transmission.

For off-roading enthusiasts, it will retain the facility of low-range transfer case. Apart from this, the company can also add 48V mild-hybrid system to it to increase fuel efficiency.

What will be the price of the new Hilux?

It is estimated that the ex-showroom price of the new Toyota Hilux can be between Rs 30.00 lakh to Rs 38.00 lakh. In India, it will compete mainly with vehicles like Isuzu D-Max V-Cross. This new offering from Toyota in the lifestyle pickup segment is expected to attract customers who are looking for a vehicle with premium features along with a powerful off-roader.
