The new Toyota Hilux had its official launch on 21st September 2011 with a target of 14,000 units to be sold in 2011. Prior to today’s event, Toyota showrooms had already received some 3,000 orders for the new model, the latest version of Malaysia’s best-selling pick-up since its introduction in 2005.
There have been some very significant changes to the look of the Hilux. On the exterior, vertical flowing lines connect the new hood, new front grille and new bumper design. Toyota has also added new alloy rims and rear combination lamp design.
The Hilux 3.0G has a more powerful D-4D Common-Rail engine with Intercooler Variable Nozzle Turbo (VNT) that offers a maximum 120 kW/ 163 PS of power at 3,400 rpm and 343 Nm of torque at between 1,400 and 3,200 rpm. The Intercooler lowers the ingoing air temperature making it denser and oxygen-rich giving better combustion. The VNT varies airflow speed according to driving conditions improving low-speed torque, maximizes power output and fuel consumption whilst reducing emissions.
The Hilux 2.5L is also powered by the by the reliable Toyota D-4D turbodiesel engine with Common-Rail Direct Injection technology. This technology improves the performance of the diesel engine as well as enhances driveability, comfort and fuel economy, besides lowering noise levels. With Common-Rail Direct Injection, a high pressure for fuel delivery is maintained at all speeds, along a single shared fuel line (the common rail) to the four cylinders.
The interior has a more modern-looking image, including a darker interior colour, new centre cluster design, and new steering wheel with audio and Multi-Information Display (MID) switches. Customers also have the option of Toyota‟s built-in DVD-Audio-Video Navigation (AVN) system package with a reverse camera.
