Toyota Hilux lifestyle pick-up truck will make its way to India in late 2022. Here, it will be directly positioned against the Isuzu V-Cross. If reports are to be believed, the pick-up truck will be made available in two variants – Hilux and Hilux Revo. While the former is likely to be priced around 18 lakh, the latter will cost nearly Rs 25 lakh (all, ex-showroom). The Hilux has been built on the IMV (Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle) platform that underpins the Fortuner SUV and Innova Crysta MPV.

Besides sharing the platform, the new Toyota pick-up truck will share its features and several other components with the Innova Crysta and Fortuner. In terms of features, it will offer a new 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 4.2-inch TFT display, 6-speaker audio system, power adjustable driver’s seat, cruise control, automatic AC unit with rear vents, smart key with push-button engine start/stop and more.
In select global markets, the Hilux is offered with ADAS (advanced driver assistance system). However, the India-spec version might miss on it. It could be packed with 7 airbags, hill start and hill descent assists, vehicle stability control, rear parking camera with sensors and traction control.
