| ![]() Scoop! Toyota Hilux could be launched on January 23 Toyota is all set to enter the lifestyle pickup truck segment with the Hilux. If the outbreak of Omicron stays in check, it could be launched on January 23, 2022. ![]() Contrary to earlier reports, the Hilux will not be a direct import. Instead, Toyota will import semi-knocked down (SKD) kits and assemble them in India. There will be only one variant on offer. In India, the Hilux will be powered by a 2.8-litre diesel engine, which is also offered in the Fortuner Legender. This engine produces 201 BHP and 500 Nm. It will have a four-wheel drive system with a locking rear differential for improved traction. It is also said that the Hilux will come with Toyota's A-TRAC, which stands for 'Active Traction Control'. The system automatically detects and intervenes when one or more wheels lose traction and applies the brake to the wheel that has lost traction. This allows the system to send power to the wheel that has optimal traction. Thanks to the Team-BHP fan (he prefers to remain anonymous) who sent this information in.

| ![]() Great, so we are getting the Hilux with full off-road hardware. Even with the CKD route, I think the ex-showroom price will be above 30L. With Fortuner 4x4 AT almost at 50L, there is now a wide gap with Crysta. I think Hilux will be placed bang in the middle at 40L on road. |

And by now several dealers have started unofficial bookings stating the ex-showroom price between 30-35 Lakh ex-showroom. The Lexus LC500h is a different case since it's a CBU, Hilux like mentioned will be a SKD. Last edited by CEF_Beasts : 4th January 2022 at 20:12. | |

| ![]() Superb Car. I have used this car in the middle east, in the oil and gas industry, as a pickup truck. Very comfortable and can carry some cargo as well. Not sure how much useful or successful it will be in India. Did not see much success with Tata Xenon or Isuzu dmax Last edited by suhaas307 : 5th January 2022 at 00:19.

Because it would be dead on arrival if its priced above the fortuner. This is not America, unless it comes with a V6 or never before heard off in India features, it makes no sense to buy a pickup over an SUV. Not to mention, people plonking 50 big ones on a fortuner want 3 rows of seating so they can lug their whole family with them 'just in case'. |

In a market where they are already selling the Fortuner on road at 50L (+/-) I don’t believe they will price the UT at more than that. My own sense too is that this will plonk squarely between the Innova and Fortuner on price. Let’s wait and see where it ends up, or closer to which of the two it ends up at. One thing is for sure - I don’t think Toyota will balk at pricing this WELL ABOVE the Isuzu, specially since Isuzu is still flogging their last gen truck here and also because of the much higher brand equity Toyota is confident of. | |

| ![]() I follow a guy on Instagram. Saw this on his story which he reposted. The owner's a Naga as far as I know. Have some people already bought the Hilux? ![]() |

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...ml#post5225012 Most likely it's the same Hilux and it has been imported from Thailand. | |

I understand Cars can be imported only via some specific ports and just the basic custom duty is 100% plus the hassles. It’s not easy for any individual. Last edited by Turbanator : 6th January 2022 at 05:13. | |||
