Most Helpful Review

Toyota Hilux STD 4X4 MT

It's a fun car especially if you live in the mountains, steep roads and off-roading is a piece of cake. Engine refinement is a missed part. The space is adequate and the driving experience is totally fun.

Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou

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.
