Building on a heritage that began in 1968, the new Hilux evolves its legendary
toughness with enhanced comfort, responsive handling, advanced safety
technologies and a bold new design, reinforcing its position as a trusted
lifetime partner at every stage of a customer’s life.
The Hilux name combines the words “high” and “luxury”, reflecting the ambition
behind the original model to deliver a pickup of exceptional quality and
capability.
Across successive generations, the Hilux has developed a strong
reputation among commercial, mixed-use and private customers for its ability to
perform reliably in demanding conditions while offering an optimum cost of
ownership.
Its proven “can-go-anywhere” character has helped make it a
dependable companion for customers across a broad range of professions,
communities, lifestyles and environments.
With the new generation, Toyota has
remained true to what it describes as Hilux’s “Original Spirit”: earning
customers’ trust through continuous improvement while preserving the identity
and core qualities that have defined the vehicle for more than five decades.
At
the same time, the model introduces a “New Evolution” through greater
sophistication, ease of use and advanced features developed to meet the
increasingly diverse expectations of modern pickup customers.
Commenting on the all-new Hilux, Satoki
Oya, Chief Engineer, Toyota Motor Corporation, said, “Built on a legacy of
trust, Hilux continues to evolve while staying true to its core DNA: Quality,
Durability and Reliability.
Designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s
customers, it combines legendary toughness with greater comfort, convenience and
peace of mind for everyday life.”
Oya added, “Developed to conquer the
world’s toughest environments, the latest Hilux enhances both on- and off-road
drivability and daily usability without compromising the powerful performance
it is known for.
Engineers have also further advanced its safety technologies,
delivering greater confidence behind the wheel.
More than just a vehicle, Hilux
is designed to support lifestyles, connect with communities and accompany
customers throughout their journeys. This commitment to continuously pushing
boundaries and shaping the future is the driving force behind the latest
Hilux.”
Anyarat Sutthibenjakul, Regional Chief
Engineer, Toyota Motor Asia, commented, “The Innovative International
Multi-purpose Vehicle (IMV) story proves that global success comes from
respecting each region’s tastes.
This new Hilux represents years of listening,
learning and developing vehicles that truly serve real-world needs.”
Both the diesel and petrol models continue to offer
customers options aligned with the demanding commercial, mixed-use, private and
recreational applications for which the Hilux is widely trusted.
The
availability of both powertrains enables customers to select the solution most
appropriate to their operating requirements, driving patterns and local
conditions.
The all-new Hilux delivers a more stable
and composed ride across everyday urban journeys and off-road adventures.
Enhanced body rigidity provides a stronger foundation for the vehicle, while
refinements to the engine and cabin mounts help reduce unwanted movement and
further improve ride comfort during both everyday urban journeys and off-road
adventures.
Drivers also benefit from more responsive handling, confident control and
reduced steering effort through the adoption of Electric Power Steering.
Working together with the strengthened body and refined mounts, the system
contributes to improved straight-line stability and a smoother, more natural
driving feel.
The exterior and interior have been developed under the “Tough and Agile” design
concept, evolving the Hilux while preserving the rugged character that has
defined the model across generations.
The exterior combines this traditional
toughness with a more agile and striking look, expressed through a powerful
horizontal stance, boldly sculpted surfaces and dynamic proportions that
reinforce its commanding road presence.
The distinctive new front design provides a modern interpretation of the
Hilux’s traditional rugged character. Its horizontal composition emphasizes
width and stability, while boldly sculpted surfaces give the pickup an agile
and more contemporary presence without losing the strength expected of a Hilux.
Eighteen-inch alloy wheels further enhance the Hilux’s confident appearance,
complementing its strong proportions and updated exterior character.
Customers
can also choose from an expanded color range that includes two new finishes,
Ash and Sulfur Metallic, offering additional opportunities to personalize the
vehicle according to individual preferences and lifestyles.
For customers seeking a more adventurous and rugged expression, Toyota is also
offering an Overland Package.
The package provides a distinctive design option
that broadens the choices available to customers who want their pickup to
reflect a more active approach to leisure and exploration.
Inside, the all-new Hilux combines durability and everyday functionality with
advanced technologies intended to improve convenience, visibility and driver
awareness.
Also based on the “Tough and Agile” concept, the cabin has been
significantly redesigned to combine advanced information displays and controls
with an environment that remains intuitive to operate even in demanding
conditions.
The result enhances both comfort and usability while retaining the
robust, functional character expected of the Hilux.
Key driving and multimedia information is presented clearly and within easy
reach through a new 12.3-inch Display Audio system and 12.3-inch
Multi-Information Display.
The large central interface provides accessible
multimedia functions, while the driver display communicates relevant vehicle
and driving information within the natural field of vision, helping reduce
unnecessary distraction.
Greater visibility in challenging
conditions is supported by the Multi-Terrain Monitor, which provides additional
views of the vehicle’s surroundings to help the driver better understand the
terrain around the Hilux.
Everyday convenience is further enhanced by the
Electric Parking Brake, simplifying operation during frequent stops and parking
situations.
Greater driver confidence and peace of mind
are supported by an upgraded Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), bringing enhanced
safety and driver-assistance technologies to the all-new Hilux.
The suite
includes the Pre-Collision System (PCS) and Adaptive Cruise Control, helping
support the driver across a broad range of everyday driving situations.
Additional technologies further enhance
awareness around the vehicle. The Panoramic View Monitor provides a broader
view of the vehicle’s surroundings when maneuvering, while Blind Spot Monitor
(BSM) supports awareness of vehicles in areas that may be difficult for the
driver to see directly.
Parking Support Brake (PKSB) provides additional
support during low-speed parking maneuvers, further enhancing confidence in
confined spaces.
Simon Humphries, Chief Branding Officer,
Toyota Motor Corporation, said, “Hilux has always been made by the people, for
the people. It’s a vehicle shaped by real voices, cultures and communities, and
one that truly represents Toyota’s belief in Mobility for All.”
This relationship with people and
communities has remained at the center of the Hilux story since the model was
first introduced.
Through farms, construction sites, cities, highways and
family journeys, it has connected customers with work, opportunity and each
other.
Its evolution has been shaped by the voices of those who rely on it,
including professionals who need durability, families who value safety and
comfort and customers looking for design and technology suited to their
lifestyles.
With every generation, the Hilux has
evolved in response to changing customer expectations, yet its fundamental
promise remains unchanged.
It continues to be designed as a partner for life:
tough enough to meet demanding professional requirements, comfortable enough
for everyday journeys and versatile enough to support leisure and adventure.
The launch of the all-new Hilux in the
Middle East marks the next chapter in that enduring story.
By building on its
proven quality, durability and reliability with greater ride comfort,
responsive handling, advanced technologies, enhanced safety and an agile new
design, Toyota has ensured that the Hilux remains a trusted lifetime partner, ready
to support customers through work, family life, leisure and every adventure.
