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.
