It’s no secret that the 2016 Toyota Hilux is on its way to showrooms – earlier in the year, it was announced that the upcoming pick-up truck will be launched by the second quarter; soon after, we saw spyshots of it on local soil. Now, we’ve obtained estimated price lists from a dealer (both for Peninsular Malaysia as well as Sarawak), which show a marked increase in pricing over the old model.
The new Hilux range starts with the single cab 2.4 4×4 manual, slated to cost RM93,000 (Sarawak RM94,720). It’s as basic as it gets, with a black grille, black manual wing mirrors, 16-inch steel wheels, a urethane steering wheel, PVC seats and a basic 2-DIN radio/CD player. But hey, it does have three airbags and – finally on a base Hilux – ABS with EBD as standard.
Moving up, the double cab 2.4 4×2 manual is expected to cost RM95,000 (Sarawak RM96,700), adding power-adjustable wing mirrors with integrated indicators (still black), plastic wheel covers, a standard bedliner, fabric upholstery, power windows and an alarm system to the mix.
The 2.4 Standard 4×4 manual is set to be priced around RM105,000 (Sarawak RM106,650) – for that, you gain four-wheel drive but, bizarrely, lose the powered door mirrors, alarm and power windows (!).
Next, the 2.4G 4×4 manual, expected to cost RM115,000 (Sarawak RM116,590) – it tacks on a chrome grille, power-folding chrome door mirrors, front fog lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, a multi-info display, keyless entry and start, a leather multifunction steering wheel, a six-way adjustable driver’s seat, a DVD infotainment system with a 6.1-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity and reverse camera and sensors.
The 2.4G 4×4 automatic, slated to be priced at RM125,000 (Sarawak RM126,530), adds standard solar and security tint film, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, leather upholstery, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Active Traction Control (A-TRC) and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC).
Topping the range is the 2.8G 4×4 automatic, expected to be priced at an eye-watering RM135,000 (Sarawak RM136,120), putting it in Ranger 3.2 WildTrak territory. For that money, you’ll get automatic LED projector headlights with LED daytime running lights, 18-inch wheels, an Optitron instrument cluster, a Camry-style 4.2-inch colour LCD multi-info display and yes, seven airbags.
On the whole pricing is set to be increased by between RM10,000 and RM15,000 over equivalent models, while the 2.8 G getting a staggering RM20,000 hike over the previous 3.0 G model – although it does come with a much higher level of kit.
Options include a RM3,169 DVD-AVN navigation package, a RM1,574 sports bar (surprisingly it’s not standard on any model, not even on the 2.8G), a RM1,049 bedliner for the single cab model, a choice of either a RM2,109 Toyota Premium Safety and Security Film or RM1,066 Toyota Essential Solar Film and a RM207 portable tyre pump.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express disappointment with the high pricing of the 2016 Toyota Hilux, criticizing the lack of features like cruise control, automatic air conditioning, and safety equipment in lower variants. Many feel the prices are exaggerated, especially considering the stripped-down features, and compare it unfavorably to competitors like Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, and Isuzu D-Max. Several commenters mention UMW's management as greedy, blaming them for overcharging Malaysians and reducing safety features to boost profits. There is also a sense of frustration over perceived government and corporate collusion, with some expressing regret or discontent about supporting Toyota due to these issues. Overall, sentiments lean towards skepticism about value for money, with many calling for more competitive pricing and better safety features.
