We’re probably due to see the entire Toyota IMV range facelifted at the Indonesian International Motor Show later this month, but here’s a preview for you – the first product photo of the new facelifted Toyota Hilux, which is also on display in Australia this month.
The front end now features a stronger, edgier grille, but the changes kinda stop there. I’m expecting the Hilux to continue to be offered in the 2.5 litre and 3.0 litre D4-D turbodiesel engines, and in certain countries also a 4.0 litre V6 petrol.

Look Muscular!!! Luv these type of mini truck now
another facelift??? when is the new generation Hilux coming out?
These IMV cars have very long lifecycles…
When will this facelift be lunch in Malaysia? not much changes but still look ok!
Long! How long? Hopefully not more than 8 years.
dont worry wait thailand launch it 1st
as long as ppl keep on buying these old models, they will never launch newer models.
When will this new facelift be lunch in Malaysia, not much changes but still look not bad!

Toyota tries to cut cost. I went to see the one in Melbourne. Not much changes for this. Just that they change the appearance a bit. They even clearify that for engine and gearbox, it will remains the same.
Yes. Same old boring, outdated engine and gearboxes.
Tail lamp is different. Maybe they’d put the intercooler for the 2.5 model finally?
Yup, an upgraded 2.5 with VGT.
i thought 2.5 VGT is only for Triton? no?
What about new engine …..
Why aren’t land rover twin cabs be as cheap as other twin cabs?
Defenders are military-spec so they’re definitely more expensive. Sort of like the original Hummers compared to their sissy Hummer 2 and 3…
guess the interior stuff is gonna be the same eh… hopefully comes with a GPS then… (^^)
4 liter diesel. Holy!!
. The in gear pull of that would be amazing muscle car like.
Read it again….
oppss. I need new glasses. Haha
Age catching up
its 4.0 V6 petrol, a guzzler. anybody here knows why petrol engine is offered in pick ups?
for american market i think. they used to enjoy cheap gasoline @ petrol
yeah dodge and chevy trucks offer petrol engines, but i dont think Hilux is offered in uncle sam country, hmm
Australian market mostly I think. Americans got their Tundra full-size trucks with 6-litre motors…
Petrols have higher power than diesels, and meets USA and Japanese emission regulations, so all the trucks sold in USA, Japan, and some trucks in Australia uses petrol engines.
We also have a Mitsubishi Storm with 3.0 V6 engine if u remember..
storm evo with 4 speeds, haha. habis minyak
if front part really like j200 i think previous model owner will change all their car liao.
wuwuwu.. its still like tat.. cannot wait already ah.. almost wanna give up on hilux waiting for the new Ford Ranger in Thailand!!
Just swap a new grill and called it a face lift?? no matter…..even a bicycle with the T badge will sell in Malaysia
there is similarity between new hilux grille and hyundai sonata
and also… honda city…
very, very look alike.
for me, i think nissan frontier & mistu triton are more enjoyable to drive.. got a bit more ‘go’ power compared to hilux, dmax, bt-50. just a personal experience though.
yes!! totally agreed….Hilux is toooo “weak”~~due to its outdated engine!!?? LOL~~
It is the mosr reliable truck in the world. Its engine, GB and chasis are super duper strong. More power and torque do not always guarantee its working ability though.
Cosmetics only, as expected.
Nissan vehicles in Malaysia tend to have long ‘lifecycle’ which is a plus point for those not planning to change cars frequently.
Proton cars also tend to have long ‘lifecycle’ but I guess that is due to slow improvement.
This facelift “face” should be put on the fortuner as well. :)
will it run on the same engine that Thailand has now? 2.5 Diesel VGT same torque output as the 3.0 VGT.
GO FOR ALL NEW FORD RANGER !!
ford ranger is very packed and straight cut.. not comfortable sitting inside.
Have you seen the all new Ford Ranger ? Its design and built in Australia,It comes with 6 speed auto , 2.2 all new diesel engine , stability program,Traction Control , all new 4wd system, and interior ergonomics mimics a sedan car.. The only contender to Ford Ranger is the Volkswagen Amorak
Choose between Volkswagen Amorak and Ford Ranger
Its 2.2 engine is not totally new but an upgraded version from Transit.
new ford ranger is very packed and straight cut.. not comfortable sitting inside. my general manager have one as company car.
The new Ranger isn’t even launched yet… only unveiled at motorshows.
kantoi.
Is ranger comes with ecoboost???
Hode UMW bring 2.5l diesel VN turbo intercooler version here….compare to 3.0l = cheap road tax and amost the same NM power..
Facelift or not, even put chicken wire mesh in front with a T badge will also sell lah.
Sore loser and basher without basis, Toyota have quality reputation. Unlike Proton, even stick with Bentley badge, also not sell lor……..
Hilux, Best selling 4×4 pick up truck in Malaysia. Outsold closes rival Triton by 2.5 times, D-Max by 3.5 times.
When it come to pick up truck durability & easier maintenance come first, styling isn’t a priority.
SD have only themself to blamed for screwing up on once very popular Ranger.
sime darby enjoyed a huge success with the ranger, in fact they and isuzu were the ones responsible for rugged double cab pick-up trucks. toyota malaysia all the time the last to join because they studied the market first but they always ended up winning more sales.
In my experience, from the old Ford Ranger to the Latest Macho looking Ranger, none of them feel good in both driving experience and comfortability.. Ssangyong Actyon is really stable instead and feel tough and comfortable in comparison. Not sure for Hilux, Triton nor Dmax tough..
Hilux not only does well in M’sia but globally too. It is a commenable model.
Hilux is currently not in Japan and North American market now. The Americans have Tacoma, while Japanese does not have any pickup trucks.
J200 Land Cruiser have been a naughty boy. Now there’s his baby with miss Hilux. hahaha
Already in production in Thailand. Delivery in September 2011
How u know my fren?
toyota hilux or ford ranger? aiyo… even thou the hilux still using the same spec as b4, but this facelift its kinda attracting to me..
Easy, if you can’t decide, checkout which one is has a higher car theft rate, avoid that one.
YEap, mine got stolen this month in KLCC undeground car park some more. In a way, I guess now I can get the new Hilux.
Next all-new model is due on 2014
They make a facelift to look like the all-new Ford Ranger?? Don’t like the grills… hoped for this facelift to look like the Tundra with gaping mouth and all… or just fix the last Fortuner facelift headlights on and slap a gaping mouth up front… I like gaping mouths…
