Toyota Hilux pick-up launched at 34 lakh, offers 4x4 drive, AT and 4 colours

Toyota Hilux has been officially launched in the Indian car market at a starting price of 34 lakh (ex showroom) for the base Standard variant with manual transmission. The High variant with manual transmission is priced at 35.80 lakh (ex showroom) while the top-of-the-line High variant with AT is priced a lakh more expensive. The Hilux enters the rather nascent pick-up truck space in the country. But Toyota is clearly targeting those with an extravagantly adventurous lifestyle to particularly favour the Hilux.

India-spec Toyota Hilux pick-up truck comes with a double cab configuration with seating capacity for five persons.

The Hilux has been around in global markets for several decades with over 20 million units sold in 180 countries. But this is the first time the vehicle is entering Indian shores. “Ever since its launch, the sophisticated Hilux has managed to win the admiration and hearts of the customers with good response," said Tadashi Asazuma, Executive Vice President of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, in a press statement issued by the company. “The Toyota Hilux is the epitome of world-class engineering, unparalleled safety, and best-in-class comfort, all perfectly channeled to create the incredible lifestyle utility vehicle for those who enjoy adventure, thrill, and creating enduring memories with friends and family."

Bookings for the Hilux were opened earlier this year for between 50,000 and 1 lakh at dealerships but it had to be paused soon after because of a stronger-than-expected response.

Toyota Hilux engine and transmission details:

Powering the India-spec Hilux is a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine which is mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission unit. The engine produced 201 bhp and offers 420 Nm of torque which is what is primarily responsible for its ‘go-anywhere’ credentials.

The Hilux also has a water-wading capability of 700 mm. For reference, this figure on the more affordable Isuzu D-Max is up to 800 mm while for the much more expensive Defender from Land Rover, it is at 900 mm.
