New Toyota Hilux TRD Sportivo introduced in Bangkok

Hilux_TRD-2

Toyota Motor Thailand has just introduced its new Toyota Hilux Revo TRD Sportivo variants at the ongoing 2016 Bangkok Motor Show. The sportier exterior and interior kit is featured on the Hilux Double Cab Prerunner, Smart Cab Prerunner and Smart Cab 4×2 variants there.

Pricing has not yet been revealed, but as pictured here, the TRD Sportivo additions introduce a slew of new items to the latest Toyota Hilux pick-up range. Up front, there’s a new TRD-specific front bumper and a black, chromium front grille.

Other standard items include a set of 17-inch six-spoke spinning alloy wheels and a TRD Sportivo rear bumper. Additionally, buyers may spec-up their pick-ups further with a TRD Sportivo front skirt, LED daytime running lights, a unique sport bar and bedliner combo, and TRD Sportivo decals.

Inside, higher-spec TRD Sportivo variants feature synthetic leather seats, while the dashboard and door cards feature carbon kevlar-look materials with red trim highlights. The red stitching and synthetic leather extends to other areas in the cabin, including the steering wheel, gear level, parking brake and centre console box.

The sportier iteration of the Hilux also gets a special TRD Sportivo suspension, but apart from this, maintains the rest of its mechanicals.

  • VSC and More Airbags Please! on Mar 22, 2016 at 3:09 pm

    Already the Hilux here is underspec. I mean the basic affordable Hilux. Not many of us can afford the highest spec Hilux which is nearly the price of a Camry.

    We Malaysians got no time for TRD Sportivo. All we want is basic Hilux to give us VSC and more airbags

    Hello Toyota, for 2016 I wish you introduce TRD tuning package instead of silly stickers and plastic kits. Its time to pay some respect to Asian consumers.

    Which other brands’ pick-ups are selling at the same prices as the new Hilux and still omit VSC? Hmm, let’s see. Mitsubishi comes to mind and MMM did receive quite a lot of flak for the lack of VSC even on the range-topping Triton Adventure. Nissan doesn’t equip VSC on the whole range of NP300 Navara, and they received criticisms from netizens for that as well.

    The LED DRL and TRD kits looks really tacky.

    A truck is a truck is a truck. Why is it pretending to be a sports car?
