The key highlights of the Hilux include LED projector headlamps, fog lights, LED taillights, footboards, a large load bay, an analogue instrument cluster, an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen, leather upholstery for the seats, dual-zone temperature control, powered driver seat, HHA, downhill assist, an electronic differential lock, VSC, seven airbags, a cooled glovebox, parking sensors (front and rear), and a rear-view camera.
It gets a 2.8-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine producing 201bhp and 420Nm, while it gives out 500Nm with AT. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox.
