2021 Toyota Hilux first view

Toyota has announced a series of updates for its Hilux pick-up. The most obvious changes are at the front, where the grille and bumper have been redesigned to give a more purposeful appearance. LED headlights are available for the first time, too.

Inside, one particular highlight is a new 8” display for the upgraded infotainment system which, sensibly, incorporates physical buttons and dials. Trim grades and their equipment lists have yet to be confirmed, though.

The alterations aren’t just cosmetic. For instance, the introduction a 2.8 litre turbocharged diesel engine promises improved performance. Thanks to 201 bhp (150 kW / 204 PS) and 500 Nm (368 lb-ft) of peak torque – delivered via either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission – the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 10.0 seconds. Provisional NEDC combined efficiency figures are 36.3 mpg (7.8 l/100km) with CO2 emissions of 204 g/km.

Handling and ride comfort should be better as well, because the power steering, dampers and leaf springs have all been recalibrated.

As is the case now, the 2021 Hilux is going to be offered in Single Cab, Extra Cab and Double Cab guises. Sales are due to begin this coming November.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

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...
