FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Toyota hilux launched in india - The Untold Story

Longer than the Isuzu D-max V-Cross, the new Toyota Hilux pickup trucks look distinct and purposeful

The Toyota Hilux pickup truck is now in India, with prices starting at ₹ 33.99 lakh for the Standard MT trim and going up to ₹ 36.80 lakh for the fully kitted High trim (ex-showroom, India). Bookings for the pickup truck have been open since January, with the booking amount set at ₹1 lakh. The Hilux is being assembled in India with CKD kits at Toyota’s plant in Karnataka.

The Toyota Hilux for the Indian market is the double-cab body style and it looks distinct and purposeful. It also has some resemblance to the Fortuner in its basic profile, but gets a completely unique face with a larger hexagonal chrome grille and swept-back LED headlamps. The front bumper is sharply styled, with black contrasting insets for the fog lamps; it also gets a rugged looking skid plate.
