TOKYO: 2016 Toyota Hilux, a rugged Tacoma-sized pickup truck sold in well over 100 countries worldwide. Entirely new from A to Z, the Hilux gets a much more modern look that falls in line with Toyota’s latest design language. The bulk of the upgrades are found up front, where the truck is fitted with elongated headlights, a muscular-looking bumper and a sizable three-slat radiator grille. Sculpted fenders and bed sides partially hide the Hilux’s utilitarian roots.
The leaked images show the Hilux crew cab, but the lineup will also include single and extended cab models.
Inside, the Hilux follows the truck industry’s shift towards more car-like dashboards. The instrument cluster boasts a configurable TFT screen, the steering is commanded through an ergonomic three-spoke multi-function wheel and the truck can be ordered with a large touch screen that runs the latest generation of Toyota’s infotainment system.
