New-Gen Toyota Hilux Launch Date Confirmed
Toyota has finally confirmed the launch date of its new-gen Hilux, as it is scheduled to arrive on July 28. So, in just a few weeks, we will get to witness one of the most reliable, rugged pickup trucks, which is now loaded to the brim with features. Bear in mind, the new-gen Fortuner will also borrow most of the design and features from this Hilux. So, let’s take a look at what we expect to see from this new-gen Hilux.

New Toyota Hilux Launch Date – What To Expect?
Toyota has done wonders with the new-gen Hilux, in terms of design as well as the addition of new features. The new Hilux has a more edgy, boxy and sharp design when compared to the older model. It gets a honeycomb grille, sharper headlights, a rugged front bumper, new alloy wheels, and much more. The front-end of the car has received a complete overhaul, while the side profile and the rear are moderately changed. And keeping in mind the new-gen Fortuner will carry a similar design language, this looks quite purposeful and robust.

Features
You will notice the major changes as soon as you step inside the new Hilux. The dashboard is almost unrecognisable compared to the older Hilux. Thanks to an all-black theme, the interior doesn’t really look as premium, but the feature list has surely grown longer. This new-gen brings in a slew of features like a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, ADAS, powered and ventilated front seats, and much more. Other changes include a new steering wheel, which looks quite similar to the one on the Land Cruiser 250 sold in international markets. With these upgrades, the Hilux has definitely been modernised for the new generation.

New Toyota Hilux Launch Date – Powertrain And Pricing
What may not be new is the powerplant in the new Hilux. We expect the Hilux to get the same engine as the Fortuner Neodrive – a 2.8-litre diesel with a 48V mild-hybrid system producing 201bhp and 500Nm of torque along with either a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed TC and 4X4. Toyota has also launched an electric version of the Hilux, but it is unlikely that it will be launched in India right now. Currently, the Hilux carries a price tag ranging from Rs 34.68 lakh to Rs 44.74 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). We can expect the new-gen model to get a price ranging between Rs 35.50 lakh and Rs 46 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
