Toyota is updating its Hilux pick-up for 2009, with a new grille and wider front bumper, new alloy wheel designs, and new kit including a lockable tailgate for hardtop-equipped Extra and Double Cab models.
The 3.0 D4D diesel engine now comes with a new five-speed automatic gearbox, promising improved torque and fuel economy: it'll now return 31.7mpg and 236g/km.
Interior improvements include a new steering wheel with audio controls, a redesigned gearshift console and new instruments, a new automatic air conditioning system with dust and pollen filter, and new sports seats in the Double Cab. Invincible models have leather upholstery.
Minor modifications have been made to the suspension, with revised front shock absorbers and new rear axle bearings, plus new bushes, and Toyota promises more stable and predictable handling with a reduction in vibration. Larger brakes are also fitted.
The range now starts with the 2.5-litre D-4D HL2 Single Cab, Extra Cab and Double Cab, and all of these models have electric windows, air conditioning, an alarm, remote central locking, twin front airbags and anti-lock brakes. HL3 models add a leather-trimmed steering wheel, automatic air conditioning, tinted glass and 15" alloy wheels, and Invincible versions have 17" alloys, leather upholstery and stability control. 3.0 D-4D Double Cab models now have side and curtain airbags. There are new metallic paint colours available.
Sales of these revised models start in the UK towards the end of the year.
