Spacious Interiors Good Features 8

Great Performance And Off-road Ability 9

• The Toyota Hilux comes with a single diesel engine option. It has 4X4 in both automatic and manual transmission options. 
• It comes equipped with a 2.8L diesel engine, same as Fortuner. The engine churns out 205 BHP of power and 500 Nm of peak torque. You can get it with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox or a manual gearbox. 
• The power delivery is linear but the redline comes around 3700 RPM. The gear shifts are quite smooth but sometimes there’s a hassle in gearshifts. 
• The vehicle maintains its performance off the road. It has a massive 800mm water wading capacity and great approach and departure angles. This proves its great off-road capabilities. 

Seating Comfort And Convenience 8.5

• The front row of seats offers good comfort with a commanding position. The leather upholstery offers a premium appeal. There could be some cool features like ventilated seats for added comfort.
• The second row of seats offers decent comfort. The suspension travel is decent and comfort over bad roads is okayish. The knee-room legroom is decent and shoulder room is ample enough. Some bounciness can be felt on bumpy roads due to leaf spring suspension on offer.

  Distance from the ground is good thanks to dedicated long-travel off-road suspension and specially designed control arms. Tough off-road competent tyres are offered with the concept.

  Driving position is commanding, and as a plus, the front seats are also very comfortable. Size and weight give great confidence at higher speeds. Great blend of comfort and performance.
