Created In 2015, The Current Generation Of The Toyota Hilux Reaches Its Third Facelift In Australia. Now, The Model, A Great Success In Brazil And The World, Will Have A New Look And Also A Hybrid Engine.

With A Series Of Visual Updates, The Third Facelift Of The Toyota Hilux Will Feature New Equipment With Enhanced Technology And, Most Importantly, A New Powertrain That Will Include A 48 V Mild Hybrid System.

According To Toyota, The Intention Is To Maintain The Model’s Competitiveness Against Its Main Rival, The Ford Ranger, A Model That Was The Best-Selling In Australia In 2023. It Is Important To Highlight That, Unlike The Versions Sold In Japan And Other Markets, The Toyota Hilux 2024 In Australia Comes With An Extended Front Bumper Above The Fog Lights.

Furthermore, This Model Comes Without A Frame, Giving It A Lighter Appearance. Photos Released By Toyota Also Show That The Bumper Is Different, Now Featuring A Lower Protection That Combines Black And Silver Plastic. The Rest Of The Body Follows The Previous Model.

The Major Update Of The Hilux Will Be The New 48 V Hybrid System, Which Had Already Been Announced For Europe And Now Debuts In Australia.

Toyota Hilux Hybrid And Turbodiesel

The Major Update Of The Hilux Will Be The New 48 V Hybrid System, Which Had Already Been Announced For Europe And Now Debuts In Australia. According To The Company, The 2.8 Liter Four-Cylinder Turbodiesel Engine With 204 Hp And 50.9 Kgfm, Used In Models Sold In Brazil, Is Assisted By A Belt-Connected Generator, Allowing For A More Efficient Start/Stop System.

According To Toyota, The Difference Is That This Generator Can Assist In Accelerations, Constant Speed, And Resuming Speed With Its 16 Hp Power And 6.6 Kgfm Torque. Additionally, The Company Also Explains That Electrification Improves Fuel Economy By 6 To 10%, Depending On The Trim.

With The Launch, The Rogue And SR5 Trims Will Now Have The Mild Hybrid System Standard. However, It Will Be Possible To Choose This Technology In The 4×4 SR Model. On The Other Hand, All Electrified Versions Will Have The Multi-Terrain Select System, Which Offers Six Driving Modes For Different Terrains. Currently, This Same Turbodiesel Engine Is Also Offered In Brazil.

According To An Article From The “Quatro Rodas” Portal, In Fact, The Toyota Hilux, Currently Manufactured In Argentina, May Adopt The Mild Hybrid System In The Near Future. This Is To Stay Competitive With Electrified Pickups.

Other Engine Options For The Hilux Sold In Australia Are Two Non-Electric Diesel Engines, One 2.4 And Another 2.8. Finally, Toyota Explains That There Is Also A 2.7 Gasoline Engine Offered With Manual Or Automatic Transmission With All-Wheel Drive And Front-Wheel Drive.

When It Debuts And The Price Of The Vehicle

According To Toyota, The Hilux 2024 Will Arrive At Australian Dealerships Next Month In March. The Company States That The Model Will Cost Starting From US$ 17,300 (R$ 85,000), With The Price Maybe Going Up To US$ 48,500 (R$ 238,000) For The Top Trim. In The Trims That Will Now Feature A Hybrid System, The Price Was Adjusted By R$ 2,000 To R$ 5,000 Compared To The Previous Versions.
