Rumour: Toyota dealers accepting bookings for the Hilux

The booking amount is said to be Rs. 2 lakhs.

Toyota dealers have begun accepting bookings for the Hilux pick up truck. The booking amount is said to be Rs. 2 lakhs.

The Hilux is expected to be launched in January 2022. It was spotted earlier this month during an ad shoot in Gurgaon.

The Hilux shares its underpinnings with the Innova and Fortuner. Measuring 5,285 mm in length, the Hilux is longer than both models. The wheelbase has also been extended to 3,085 mm.

Reports suggest that the India-spec Hilux could get two diesel engine options. These include a 2.4-litre unit from the Innova, while higher variants could get the 2.8-litre motor from the Fortuner.
