The ubiquitous Toyota Hilux is back with more (visual) attitude! New for 2015, it now comes with the rather extroverted TRD Sportivo treatment – available on the double cab 2.5G and 3.0G variants. Unfortunately, those hoping for more power will be disappointed as technical specifications remain unchanged.
As a reminder, the 2.5 litre, 2KD-FTV four-cylinder turbodiesel engine pumps out 144 hp at 3,400 rpm and 343 Nm of torque between 1,600 and 2,800 rpm. The 3.0 litre, 1KD-FTV mill puts out 163 hp at 3,400 rpm and an identical (oddly enough) 343 Nm of torque between 1,400 and 3,200 rpm. Both are mated to four-speed auto ‘boxes.
Aesthetics are the main course on the Toyota Hilux TRD Sportivo with a new bodykit, decals and LED daytime running lights being featured. Black 15-inch alloy wheels are featured on the 2.5G TRD Sportivo – the truck you’re looking at now. The 3.0G variant adds on 17-inch black alloys. Only a difference in colour is apparent as the wheel designs remain identical to the ones on the non-TRD variant.
If contrasting red highlights make your day, the TRD Sportivo treatment will definitely impress with its lower red lip strip along the front bumper. Additional red side decals will lead one to the rear of the truck where a redesigned diffuser awaits – again sporting a red strip. An optional TRD sports bar on the rear – worth RM3,990 – further distinguishes this variant over its slightly emasculated siblings.
Inside, black leather seats with contrasting (more) red stitching take centre stage. On the door armrests and instrument panel, “carbon-fibre cubic printing” (not tacky at all!) is featured. TRD Sportivo carpet mats help set the mood when you’re rushing to the nearest construction site.
Available as an option, the DVD-AVX entertainment system with a 6.1-inch colour touchscreen features the usual array of a DVD player, MP3, USB, SD card, and Bluetooth connectivity along with a reverse camera. The DVD-AVN system – featured here – adds on everything there is plus a seven-inch touchscreen, navigation, Bluetooth and voice recognitions capabilities.
Two new colour schemes debut on the Double Cab variants – Attitude Black and Grey Metallic. On-the-road prices without insurance for the 2.5 TRD Sportivo variant begin at RM101,746.70 – models with metallic paint are priced at RM102,406.70 – while the 3.0 TRD Sportivo starts at RM109.819.50, irrespective of paint schemes. As with all Hilux models, a three-year/100,000 km (whichever comes first) warranty is offered.

Tipikal umw n toyota… facelift.. and facelift.. and facelift… king of facelift
Also, the point of facelift is to improve the way the car looks but it seems all their TRD versions are even MORE uglier LOL
Well done to umw not many people can make ugly even more ugly!
@Same L0rrrr,
Why no performance upgrade?
TRD Sportivo means only UGLY bodykit kah?
Kahkahkahkah
This one will make kimchi owners yell louder at my used car yard
Why?
hahahaha…..!
Drill please or it only happens in your mind!
Hilux is the only one can help UMW.
Other models “tak laku”
yalah, cakap ade banyak org beli Vios, Altis & Camry tapi kat jalan kurang nampak. Kemungkinan besar sudah mati dlm accident krn safety tak cukup. Vios, Altis & Camry hanya perlu satu kali masuk SC je.
Yeah, every month got 2k order for catfish vios. But 1k of them crash and end up in besi buruk coz no VSC but the owners like to cucuk-cucuk here and there.
Are you saying the loud and mod Waja/Wira?
Waja wira selling discontinued ady
Same L0rrr are you blind?
He wrote catfish vios,
You know that fugly car with outdated dashboard:
Safety – poor
FC – so so
Handling – poor
Ride – so so
Interior Exterior
Build quality – so so
RV – decreasing
How to sell? That’s why you have to work hard to badmouth competitors!
Dear mr salesman Sam Loo, how fast is this car? since its a toyota RACING development breed…?
dont look down diesel performance
once vigo 3.0 plug ECU SHOP monster max…
frm 160hp pump to 280hp..on crank proven
Every car if upgrades their part with aftermarket parts will improve their performance la……
Useless anyway, this car is very easy to roll in
That black rims look steel rims.
alamak, trying to be sporty as Triton VGT GS but hardy match it coz all upgrades seems to be easily done locally with local suppliers, fr bumper extension made in Balakong, rim power coated in Rawang, leather seat made in Kepong, cubic printed in Shah Alam…
Nothing engineered from factory like sunroof and rear power window.
In Japan, TRD really means performance that you could prove with engine power, handling
In Malaysia, TRD means only bodykits, and cost more. Just for syoik-syoik purpose.
That means Same L0rrrr is Syiok Sendiri!
He sendiri cakap, sendiri syiok!
Raykat smart already!
Still 4 speed auto? WTH? 2.5L 106kW/343Nm
Competitors
R
2.2L 110kW/375Nm,6speed Auto or 6 Speed Manual.
N
2.5L 128kW/403Nm 6speed MT or 5SpeedAuto
C
2.8L 144kW/500Nm for 6speed Auto; 144kW/440Nm for 6speed Manual.
Resale value unfortunately triumphs for most…..
A Ha Din – Couldn’t agree more. Competitors have been upgrading their models like mad, whereas Hilux’ engine specs remained the same for more than 3 years…come on, Toyota Japan can do way better than this.
Sam Loo will be very pleased with this …
Of course even if T is syiok sendiri, he still say others are
Ptuih
UMW is being environmentally friendly…
Recycling all the unsold Hiluxes!
Oh my the hideousness, pretty sure they checked the option pack with the code name SLOO, a no cost ugly pack and made it standard for us…
woof woof woof… u guys bark like dogs but the fact that hilux is still the best selling pickups in Malaysia…
Yes Same L0rrrr says to any customers this thing is good because many people buy it
Many people can’t go wrong
But……how many people want to read??????
Who the hell ..needs a race interior in a truck… sell old technology for a high price
Yes, it’s the best-selling pickup (and the most involved in rollover accidents as well). But that doesn’t mean it’s the best pickup available. This TRD Hilux actually sums up most Toyota owners mentality: all show and no go. They prefer cosmestics add-ons instead of useful safety techs. We can’t actually put all the blame on UMW alone. UMW is simply selling what most of these buyers are willing to pay for.
Why you guys wasting bandwidth to post about this dino junk over and over again?
Looks like piece of shit.
Very ugly looking facelift.
…for all intents … Something befitting a TRD decal should have been a low-Rider, rwd, with fat road based tyres.
Come to think of that, Why doesn’t anyone make that configuration? The only ones done before are base spec models which are hopessly underpowered.
Nowadays, 3 out of 4 Hyundai owners sell off their rotten cabbage within 18 months.
I now have ample supply for export.
Keep this up, love the look on the face of these sorhais when I show them the Hilux
Very thoughtful from UMW. You ask for it and we provided.
Uncles wants sports look and DVD in their cars and not the mambo jumbo vsc in their cars!

Sam Loo, my son has been very depressed…
becoz his pay is non-existance…..due to very poor sale at his Toyota shoproom.
Any kimchi car show room has a vacancy? I think Sam Loo will be out of job soon…
Please…
At least Toyota airbag didn’t kill anyone
