Overpriced car from toyota.

Its overpriced car from Toyota. A pickup truck with approx. 40 lakhs does not sense. Even Isuzu top variant is 30 lakhs. Indians will not be interested for a truck at this price. Truck is the new category in India. So price should be fair. This car is assembled in India not having production line that's why price is so high.

Before buying take a test drive

Facing rainwater leakage issue in the boot space. We visited in December 2022 now in that rainy season we found heavy leakage in the boot space corner area. Very bad experience. Everybody should check their car leakages because it is in our backside area hence cannot notice if you do not look carefully. Our Kolhapur dealer & JEEP company are aware of this issue but instead of taking back the vehicle to the company they sell it.

CarWale Off-Road Day 2023: Toyota Hilux

By Ninad Ambre02 Dec 2023

I'm smitten by pickup trucks and their versatility. So, there's no second guessing what I chose when the Toyota Hilux made it to the line-up of the fourth edition of CarWale's annual off-road day. In fact, it was the only massive pickup amongst SUVs here. To cope with the bulk, it has a 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine producing 200bhp and 500Nm of torque. All this power is routed through a six-speed torque converter automatic to the four-wheel-drive system. The latter gets High (H4) and Low (L4) range paired with electronic 2WD/4WD control. Despite the length, it has good approach (29.22degree) and departure (26.36degree) angles and runs on stock Bridgestone tyres (265/60 R18). Let's see how it performed.

Jeep Meridian Special Editions First Look

By Pawan Mudaliar30 May 2023

Last month, Jeep India introduced two new special-edition models of the Meridian SUV, dubbed Meridian X and Meridian Upland. The Meridian X is based on the Limited Plus variant, while the Meridian Upland is based on the Limited(O) trim. The special edition Meridians get a distinct look that make them stand out and are capable both on off-road trails as well as the urban jungle. We have seen both these SUVs in person and here is everything you need to know about it.
