The latest Hilux sits on an all new QDR platform that has increased rigidity and strength over the outgoing model. Toyota has equipped it with a list of active safety features that include Active Traction Control (A-TRC), Downhill Assist Control (DAC) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) for better 4x4 capabilities.

The exterior sports a large set of projector headlamps with DRLs that flow into a trapezoidal 3-slat grille, clamshell bonnet, updated wheel arch design, redesigned set of taillamps and a new handle-bar.

The interior of the Hilux is a bigger departure from its predecessor. Toyota has scrapped the utilitarian design for a more car-like interior with enhanced comfort and features. Top-end variants will get a large “floating” touchscreen display, push button start, automatic climate control, steering-mounted controls and leather upholstery.

Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic, while a 4x4 system will be exclusive to higher variants.
