Toyota
has
revised
the
prices
for
all
variants
of
the
Hilux
pick-up
SUV
in
India.
However,
only
the
base
‘Standard’ variant
of
the
Japanese
pick-up
SUV
received
the
price
cut.
As
a
result,
prices
for
the
Toyota
Hilux
pick-up
SUV
now
start
from
Rs
30.40
lakh
(ex-showroom,
India).
This
means
Toyota
has
slashed
the
price
for
the
base
‘Standard’ variant
of
the
Toyota
Hilux
pick-up
SUV
by
a
whopping
Rs
3.59
lakh.
However,
it
is
worth
mentioning
that
the
prices
for
the
‘High’
trim
level
of
the
Toyota
Hilux
pick-up
SUV
have
been
hiked,
where
the
manual
variant
is
now
priced
at
Rs
37.15
lakh
(ex-showroom,
India)
and
the
automatic
variant
is
priced
at
Rs
37.90
lakh
(ex-showroom,
India).
Also,
Toyota
has
not
resorted
to
removing
any
features
from
the
standard
variant
of
the
model
to
achieve
the
updated
price
tag.
However,
the
base
trim
does
miss
out
on
some
features
compared
to
the
‘High’
variants
such
as
LED
headlamps,
leatherette
seats,
auto
climate
control
and
a
few
more.
That
being
said,
the
Toyota
Hilux
‘Standard’
variant
does
come
with
essential
features
such
as
an
8-inch
touchscreen
infotainment
unit
with
Apple
CarPlay
and
Android
Auto,
an
8-speaker
audio
system,
rear
AC
vents,
cruise
control,
and
steering
mounted
controls.
Powering
the
Toyota
Hilux
is
a
tried-and-tested
2.8-litre,
4-cylinder,
turbocharged
diesel
engine
with
201bhp
of
peak
power
and
500Nm
of
peak
torque
(Peak
torque
is
limited
to
420Nm
in
the
manual
variant
).
Also,
buyers
can
specify
this
powertrain
with
either
a
6-speed
automatic
transmission
or
a
6-speed
manual
transmission.
In
addition
to
that,
the
Toyota
Hilux
also
features
a
robust
4WD
system
with
a
low-range
transfer
case,
electronic
differential
locks
and
a
limited-slip
differential
for
improved
off-road
ability.
Toyota
also
claims
that
the
new
Hilux
pick-up
SUV
can
wade
through
700mm
of
water.
Thoughts
About
The
Toyota
Hilux
Pick-Up
SUV
Thanks
to
the
price
cut
on
the
base
variant,
the
Toyota
Hilux
pick-up
SUV
will
now
attract
more
potential
customers
in
the
country.
Also,
we
expect
a
decent
jump
in
the
sales
figures
of
this
Japanese
pick-up
SUV.
