Goodbye Hilux SRX, the automotive giant Toyota surprised the market by discontinuing the Hilux SRX in Brazil. The version was the most popular of the pickup, accounting for 44% of model sales in the previous year. However, Toyota has already introduced a replacement, the SRX Plus.

The company explained to Auto+ that “the SRX version is still part of the Hilux portfolio, but now under the name SRX Plus. This update is part of the company’s sales strategy. The available versions now include Chassis, Single Cab, STD Power Pack, SR, SRV, SRX Plus, and GR-Sport.”

Therefore, Toyota discontinued the SRX to promote the new SRX Plus. Essentially, the difference between the two versions lies in the suspension system. The Hilux SRX Plus is distinguished by having wider tracks, with an increase of 14 cm in the front and 15.5 cm in the rear. The shock absorbers are also 3 mm wider.

According to Toyota, this improved system absorbs impacts more effectively, and the modified adjustment of the rear shock absorbers, now positioned externally to the chassis, provides greater stability. The new version of the Hilux pickup also includes a stabilizer bar on the rear axle that increases lateral stiffness by 20%, optimizing performance in curves.

The ground clearance of the SRX Plus is higher compared to other versions, increasing by 2 cm. The approach angle has been improved by 1 degree. It includes expanded body-colored fenders and a spoiler from the GR-Sport version.

From the factory, the SRX Plus pickup from Toyota Hilux is equipped with a front pre-collision system, lane departure alert, and adaptive cruise control (ACC). It has seven airbags, four-wheel disc brakes, and a 360-degree camera. The 9-inch multimedia center includes USB, Bluetooth, and wireless connectivity with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Price Difference Between The Hilux SRX and SRV To The SRX Plus

Offered in six colors (Polar White, Granite Gray, Mist Silver, Attitude Black, Volcano Red, and Lunar White), the Toyota SRX Plus pickup has a price of R$ 334,890, an increase from R$ 324,490 for the SRX. The price difference from the Hilux SRV to the SRX now stands at R$ 62,700. The pickup retains the 2.8 turbo diesel four-cylinder engine, producing 204 hp and 50.9 kgfm of torque, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 traction.
