UMW Toyota Motor is set to introduce a new N70 Toyota Hilux variant – details about the Hilux TRD Sportivo have been revealed on the company’s website ahead of the version’s official debut.
The Hilux TRD Sportivo will be available in 3.0 litre and 2.5 litre forms, based on the 3.0G and 2.5G double cab automatics. Going the particular route adds on TRD front and rear bumpers, decals and TRD combination leather seats, which features red stitching on the black leather upholstery.
Also new are bumper-mounted LED daytime running lights, which also find their way on to the base 2.5G and 3.0G variants. The alloy wheels on the TRD variants, meanwhile, are finished in black (on the standard G models, done in dark grey). An optional TRD Sport Bar can also be specified.
Other than that, it’s all regulation fare – no mechanical revisions, which means the 144 PS and 343 Nm 2KD-FTV VNT 2.5 litre and 163 PS and 343 Nm 1KD-FTV 3.0 litre common rail turbodiesels (and four-speed auto transmission) continue on unchanged.
Pricing for the Hilux TRD Sportivo variants, on-the-road with insurance, are:
- Hilux Double Cab TRD Sportivo 2.5G AT – RM104,686 (solid), RM105,372 (metallic)
- Hilux Double Cab TRD Sportivo 3.0G AT – RM112,967 (solid/metallic)
The optional TRD Sport Bar is priced at RM3,990, and is only available for the TRD Sportivo variants.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Guess you get a lot of metal for that price.
Pickup truck and 4×4 have come a long way. It’s more and more becoming an alternative to the everyday petrol ride.
Now if only the roadtax are reduced for these segments.
Fuel guzzler. A big no no
Gonna be busy again this year end. Can’t take long leave for Christmas already… Sigh…
FC 13km/l in city drive? If not, forget it
Trying to hard to be a Ford Ranger
By a lot of metal you mean a lot of scrap then yes.
If you are driving it offroad and you actually use the bed then okay its fine.
But for the normal 99% of people out there, NO they are NOT going to replace small city hatchbacks anytime soon, at 100k you have to be completely absurd to get one of these instead of a proper family car like a nissan sylphy or even a used accord. They are essentially trucks, they ride like a horse and handle like a boat, a simple set of tires will cost a huge amount of money.
I think it’s a bit exaggerated to say that they handle like a boat and ride like a horse.
You should test drive the current Triton VGT GS or Ford Ranger and you’ll know trucks can handle exceptionally okay. Thanks to their heavy weight, they do not float like a boat in water at high speeds too. The ride is also quite acceptable although it sucks compared to an Accord or Camry. But, if you compare it to other regular cars, the ride is quite comfortable. Also, the torque from a turbo diesel means no need to rev high when going up hills or picking up.
However due to the ride height, current gen trucks will never handle as well as a hatchback/sedan but they DO NOT HANDLE LIKE A BOAT OR RIDE LIKE A HORSE. I agree with the rest of the stuff you said tough :)
Hilux 3.0 = Timing Chain
Hilux 2.5 = Timing Belt
Choose wisely ya Mr Sam Loo!!
All toyota line ups becoming sportivo. I think next year there will be Camry TRD Sportivo too
already have. aurion trd (our camry in oz).but of course not just trd badge..it comes with serious performance upgrade.
This is the official Sam Loo automobile.
Now comes with added swag – TRD.
New Toyota Hilux is in the pipeline …. may be late 2015 in Thailand or early 2016 new model coming to Malaysia.
Bolehland always gets late products BUT selling with higher selling price.
Ringgit drop, standard and quality also drop and with added high taxes.
BN care for Rakyat. Yes care for Rakyat pocket money’s.
u meant excise tax?
for pick-up truck there is no excise tax as pick up truck fall under commercial vehicle n if those pick up truck made in ASEAN no import tax either. oni 10% sales tax.
“Commercial Vehicles also reclassified on 1 January 2007 and includes Trucks, Prime Movers, Pick-up, Panel Vans, Bus & Others.” – MAA
Sportivo all you like, still old tech and lacking safety feature.
Worst, no VSC and AUTO only that makes it very high chance to crash their ‘beloved’ Sportivo. It will become 99.99% chances to crash if it falls under ah beng or sohai driver’s hand
Meh?
hilux need TRD spec for what la? *facepalm*
It’s actually the last hurrah for this Hilux Model :) the imminent replacement will come 2015 so they need to clear old stocks. Slap in TRD bodykit and sell at same or slightly higher price & this is how UMW works…
People buy a Hilux because they need something rigid and practical. Now UMW thought that people need some SWAG element in this humble working horse.
Good luck with that.
I saw a pickup the other day that was lowered and had a huge ass spoiler on the bed cover. I both laughed and cried at the insult on wheels.
I wonder in the near future, I’ll have the bad luck to encounter a Hilux TRD with TRD spoilers taken from other TRD machines? A small one from the Vios TRD or more exotic like Celica?
Rice rice swag babe!!! Actually I hate tasteless ricer swag
The 2.5 n 3.0 have the same torque figure??
It kinda means the 4 speed auto cant take more torque that that,i belive this gearbox existed when Jesus was alive!
What? Still only offering 4 speed gearbox?? Hello Toyota, please wake up from your long slumber and stuff that gearbox in a museum of sorts. Start giving buyers new tech and more safety and not concentrate in offering ah beng accesories to draw your customers. This sh*t have gone on for long enough and your company should start offering good value for the high prices you charge. Wake up Toyota!!!
“T” p2 axia already 3 cylinders engine what? BMW, Volvo also goes for 3 cylinders

Hmm,goodjob Toyota.But still waiting for the Proton Suv that will launch next year that now is still on RnD stage and it is on test in China and Artic and Proton aim to reach at least Euro 6.
#ProtonThenNowForever
#GoodJobToyota
Talk is CHEAP, show us the car.
You can also bluff that Proton has its light-speed spaceship. It is all Sendiri Cakap Sendiri Syok.
What a waste of money. 2 things
1. Hilux is getting really old
2. TRD Sportivo is not the real TRD. TRD Pro is the real TRD for Toyota 4×4. Sad we dont have it here! =(
tats a joke.. if the “TRD” brings ESP
make the ugly uglier
Sam Loo must have had multiple orgasms by just looking at the picture alone. LoL.
Frankly, these trucks should be bought for its intended purpose: off-road and small business. Normal salaryman should not buy this to ferry their family members. My enemy on the urban streets and highways are reckless Hilux drivers (and other SUV trucks too). Tailgating and zigzagging small cars are acts of selfishness. Numerous of accidents where these drivers walked away unscathed but causing death or injuries to the other victims who drove smaller cars.
TRD – Totally Ridiculous Dunno wat to say ni..
No vsc, no downhill /uphill assist…
Rubbish
No need VSC if Same Lorrr approved, also said no need 5 star coz ANCAP is meaningless!
UMW toyota, u are not done beating that old horse again & again?
few more days to 2015 and UMW introduce new bodykit. it’s almost 2015 and UMW still think bodykit upgrade is more important THAN safety features upgrade. come on la, give us ESC already la. summore TRD means Toyota RACING DEVELOPMENT, i dont see any ‘racing development’ at all other than wrapping it with ah beng bodykit. UMW forever sux. puiii
very nice truck…
at least retain abs as standard for every range la toyota….
less excise taxx…
buy now…4×4
government impose less tax than sedann..car…
buy now!!!!!
now we know whose control the car price….
No excise tax..Hilux fall under commercial vehicle.
Walao…. Sam Loo, how is the performance of the car? Improved? Good? Got bodykit meaning more power, right?
Maybe better aero too weih then stable at high speeds
This crap already very difficult to park on tight city car park. With this added body kit, will result in more scratch marks.. People, decide wisely.
Useless UMW…2015 coming soon and this is the best they can offer.
nice and good
I’m driving 2.5 VNT as my daily car. I don’t see any problem with 4 speed cruising at the highway.
Please take in mind, what the hilux really meant for?
I used it as a daily car with 100% on road, not even engaged the 4×4 before. Perhaps, underused for a hilux.
We don’t need all the gadget for this kind of car, it is not a fancy car for fancy people, if so, please get yourself a korean car with lots of electronics and equipment.
But I do think, safety feature are important and a auto cruise will helps a lot too. other than that, rain sensor, electric seat or whatsoever sensors not that important for a driver.
the point is, you get from A to B with peace of mind.
Hi can you please sent me a quote on only the front TRD bumper on a 2014 toyota hilux d4d vigo model please
