Three new HiLux models announced
Australia’s number-one selling vehicle gets tarted up for off-roadingToyota HiLux, will ramp up its appeal with the introduction of a trio of new models during the second quarter of this year.
Toyota says the three new 4x4 variants – the HiLux Rogue, Rugged and Rugged X – will extend the range with features that boost off-road protection, recovery and functionality.
Topping the new line-up of HiLux models, the Rugged X is primed for adventure with its design incorporating a high-tensile alloy bash plate and a winch-compatible hoopless steel bull bar – both of which are compatible with the vehicle's airbags and other safety systems.
Rugged X goes beyond the top-of-the-range SR5 with a new black grille with a honeycomb design and gloss-black surround. It is also equipped with a snorkel, LED driving lights, high-strength front and rear recovery points, rock rails, a load-carrying sports bar and other heavy-duty components.
The HiLux Rogue, which will also sit above the SR5, offers a premium vehicle that features an aggressive image and wider appearance created by its hexagonal upper grille, fresh front bumper and revised fog lights.
The third new model, Rugged, provides off-roading enthusiasts with a vehicle that is ready for action. It features a functional front-end design, including a premium steel bull bar.
"HiLux buyers increasingly demand additional features; in fact, they spend more on accessories than any other vehicle in our range," said Toyota Australia's vice president sales and marketing Sean Hanley.
Mr Hanley said all new components will be fully integrated with the vehicle, certified to Australian Design Rules to be fully homologated and attract full warranty coverage.
He said they had been developed to Toyota's rigorous and renowned vehicle standards and were optimised for performance, durability and mass.
Pricing will be announced closer to launch.
