The next-gen Toyota Hilux has been launched in India at Rs. 31.99 lakh. It is available across three variants and only with an automatic transmission mated to Toyota’s 2.8-litre diesel engine, but with both 4X2 and 4X4 powertrain options. Bookings are open from today, with deliveries set to begin in the second week of August.

Variant to pick
While Toyota has included a decent bit of kit in the GX variant, we would suggest going for the fully loaded VX variant as the jump of Rs. three lakh is well worth the extra equipment that is included for the additional price. The move to keep it AT only is indicative of the target buyer for the SUV, and going right to the top is well worth the jump.
The saga of the lifestyle pickup truck is now well and truly underway. This car will be joined by the D-Max V-Cross and the upcoming Mahindra global pickup truck that will be slightly cheaper but still be a strong contender in this game. It is also indicative of what we can expect in the next-gen Toyota Fortuner SUV.
