2016 Toyota Hilux specifications confirmed

With deliveries due to commence in July, Toyota has announced UK specifications and pricing for its new Hilux pick-up.

Customers here will have a choice of Active, Icon, Invincible or Invincible X trim grades. Active is being offered in Single Cab, Extra Cab or Double Cab guises, but the other three variants come in Double Cab form only.

Across the range, standard equipment includes on-demand four-wheel drive, Bluetooth, heated door mirrors, a cooled front storage box and two airbags.

Icon adds some useful items. Among them are 17” alloy wheels, cruise control and a reversing camera. Also fitted are a 4.2” TFT multi-information display nestled between the main instruments, a DAB radio and the touchscreen-controlled Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system.

Invincible furthermore features an 18” wheel upgrade, chrome side bars with steps, LED headlights with automatic levelling, smart entry and start, automatic air conditioning and stability control.

Sitting at the top of the line-up is Invincible X. Leather upholstery, heated front seats and satellite navigation give the cabin a luxury ambience. Its exterior meanwhile boasts chrome details, front and rear parking sensors and a unique wheel design.

Every 2016 Hilux is powered by a 2.4 litre four-cylinder D-4D Global Diesel turbocharged engine.

With 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS), 400 Nm (295 lb/ft) and a six-speed manual gearbox, top speed is 106 mph (170 km/h) and the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 13.2 seconds. Opt for a six-speed automatic transmission instead and that time falls to 12.8 seconds.

On-the-road prices start from £19,177 (excluding VAT). In a significant development, the warranty becomes a more generous five years / 100,000 miles.

Grade Cab Transmission OTR (excl. VAT)
Active Single Cab Manual £19,177
Active Extra Cab Manual £20,735
Active Double Cab Manual £21,510
Icon Double Cab Manual £23,114
Icon Double Cab Automatic £24,364
Invincible Double Cab Manual £24,923
Invincible Double Cab Automatic £26,173
Invincible X Double Cab Manual £28,185
Invincible X Double Cab Automatic £29,435

Prospective users who frequently haul a heavy trailer might want to hold off placing an order, though. That's because the Hilux's towing capacity is set to increase to 3.5 tonnes by the end of 2016 (doubtless to compete with the Isuzu D-Max). Until then, it's 3.2 tonnes.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...

Zero Congestion Charge

Image
In a rare piece of good news for motorists, the beginning of 2011 saw a change to the London Congestion Charge that could see some drivers now (legally) avoiding the fee altogether. The new Greener Vehicle Discount, which replaces the Alternative Fuel Discount, means that more cars will potentially qualify for 100% off the daily charge. Naturally, there are a couple of caveats that come attached with this generous gesture from Transport for London . The first is that the vehicle needs to be ‘green’. More precisely, it should be Euro 5 emissions compliant and produce 100 grams of CO2 per kilometre or less. Secondly, if you already own such an eco-friendly machine, don’t presume that you can just swan about in central London and not worry about the Congestion Charge. To receive the Greener Vehicle Discount, a car must first be registered with Transport for London, and that involves a £10 annual payment. So, what cars will qualify for the Greener Vehicle Discount? According to ...
