The new 2016 Toyota Hilux should be just around the corner now. Following the reveal of the pick-up truck’s estimated pricelist last month and the local brochure earlier this week, we’ve now spotted ads of the new Hilux on Facebook, posted by one Encik Cairo, who is most likely a Toyota salesperson.
The five pics posted by the SA show a black double-cab Hilux with taped up emblems, but they aren’t fooling anyone. From the pictured truck’s alloys, foglamps, chrome wing mirrors and lack of projector headlamps, we know that this is the 2.4G 4×4 automatic, which should be the best-selling variant as it hits the sweet spot in equipment and price, estimated at RM125,000.
That buys you a Hilux with a chrome grille, power-folding chrome door mirrors, front foglamps, 17-inch alloys, multi-info display, keyless entry and start, leather multifunction steering wheel, DVD infotainment system with a 6.1-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth, reverse camera, an eight-way powered driver’s seat, leather seats, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Active Traction Control (A-TRC), Hill-Start Assist and solar and security tint.
There’s also a 2.4G 4×4 manual, which, apart from the gearbox, lacks the auto’s VSC, A-TRC, HAC, powered driver’s seat, leather seats and window tint. Estimated price RM115,000.
The double-cab variants below the 2.4G are the RM95,000 2.4 4×2 manual and very basic spec RM105,000 2.4 Standard 4×4 manual, which have black wing mirrors and steel wheels.
Above the 2.4G is the 2.8G 4×4 automatic, which raises eyebrows in both spec and price. The range topper has an estimated price of RM135,000, but will come with automatic LED projector headlights with LED DRLs, 18-inch wheels, an Optitron instrument cluster, a Camry-style 4.2-inch colour LCD multi-info display and seven airbags.
As for the oily bits, the new Hilux will launch with Toyota’s new GD turbodiesel engine in 2.4 and 2.8 litre sizes, with six-speed transmissions. The bigger VNT engine boasts 177 hp at 3,400 rpm and 450 Nm of torque between 1,600 and 2,400 rpm. The 2.4L has 150 hp at 3,400 rpm and 400 Nm of torque between 1,600 and 2,000 rpm (Thai figures, with six-speed auto).
To recap, the new Hilux will be available in six variants – 2.4 MT 4×4 (the sole single-cab choice), 2.4 MT 4×2, 2.4 Standard MT 4×4, 2.4G MT 4×4, 2.4G AT 4×4 and 2.8G AT 4×4, with estimated Peninsular Malaysia pricing of RM93,000, RM95,000, RM105,000, RM115,000, RM125,000 and RM135,000 respectively.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It is so sad that only the highest end model has VSC and 7 airbags. Come on UMW, Malaysians deserve better. We are already paying so high for our cars, at least give us the basic safety specs like VSC and more airbags on the basic hlux
enough.. u say lack of vsc..we give vsc..now you say expensive.. your dunhill 1pack rm17 u dint say expensive
Why no 6 airbags across variant? At give VSC to all like in Iriz
At least
Grey Fortuner kat sebelah!
Thats a ranger
You’re seem pretty noob there…thats a ranger..LOL
no worry ,the Mitubishi and Isuzu is taking out their ultimate king and last straw before UMW being kick out by toyota malaysia..
Gov and Taxi cant save both Protong and UMW..
realized all new police Protong lately?
realized so many accordana in all gov department?
cronies power bolehland..
you want br1m, prepare to pay back one way or another.
even the pal oil F-Ada become F-tak-ada now, pity those settler..
Old news, gomen use proton cars as fleet since yesteryears
How many of us got RM100k and above? Why must we be rich to be able to give our family safety?
It is not fair that the rich can afford cars that give them safety and the poor have to drive cars with no VSC, ABS etc.
Malaysians kena con big time. The poor who have to buy Myvi and Axia, even ABS also don’t have. In Europe, no ABS is as good as selling a car without safety belts.
Only the rich who can afford RM125k only UMW give you safety.
Guess who owns both Perodua and Toyota? Same company that is cheating Malaysians
What company? Pls be specific
Toyota Motor Coporation in Toyota City, Aichi, Japan
Y New Vios no Asean NCAP result?
hilux is the best truck ever
Hilux already defeated by Ford Ranger in Australia sales big time. Hilux is kangaroo joke now.
No 1 buy Hilux, senang dicuri. Better buy Ranger or D-max
Trucks are 3rd world mentality. You see it mainly in Thailand, Indonesia and now in Malaysia. Go to Europe and see, hardly see trucks. Its either SUV or saloon cars.
In US, trucks are famous but only for the farmers who carry kambing biri biri. Majority still use SUV or saloons.
You can see a country and how it progresses in the evolution. Malaysia is still stuck in 3rd world.
Have you got any idea how many trucks are sold in the US last year? The F150 alone is around 1 million units, combined with the likes of GM, Toyota and Nissan; it’s easily the most lucrative segment. US is a 3rd-world country? Hahaha
General misconception. Only large cities in US considered as world class. Large parts of interior dun even have broadband, much less fibre optics (unifi)
You cannot compare F150 with a much smaller diesel powered Hilux. F150 is so much bigger than Hilux and it is a petrol powered.
F150 can only be compared to Toyota Tacoma which is not available here.
Trucks in US are not same as what we have here.
This guy just proved to the world that he stuck in 3rd world country with a 3rd world mentallity…have you actually been in the US sir?
tak tahu jangan buat pandai pandai…i tahu u bukan bisu…lol
of coz alot buy dmax..coz 0 deposit.. only true people only buy toyota..those buy dmax is want to bring their level to fight with hilux..at the back they keep eat white rice with soy sauce
The LCD in malaysia hilux is smaller and “cacat” compared to oversea one. The whole cabin looks uglier without a bigger screen
Even highest spec small car iriz got bigger screen – 6.2 inches. Hahaha
Yes, agree about radio unit or LCD. Why not same as thailand or australia spec. Maybe UMW put it own version of radio unit.
Also look at kanggaroo bar. did not seem as oversea hilux model
Good luck to Sam Loo!
Ford Ranger > All!
Only uneducated contractors buy hilux anyway. Educated people buy Ranger. Better RV, Better spec, and cheaper
Don’t start by calling people names. You never know why people make certain decisions.
So you say those who dun buy hilux are uneducated people? That’s childish and funneh
I hope in 2016, people refrain from buying cars. Especially Toyota cars. Let their sales plummet to 90% next month. We need t teach the industry a lesson ie to reduce car prices.
Pls buy 2nd hand. Don’t bother buying brand new.
Hopelessly overpriced ugly pickup truck.
Looks are subjective.
Sorry Toyota, but this time the Ford Ranger is leading and it’s seen leading further each day anyway good luck to your Hilux
And still it doesn’t come with Auto Climate Control as Mazda BT-50, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-max and Mitsubishi Triton does. Shame on you UMW
they triton will blame on ford..paddel shift only in triton…wat for? racing ah?
When pick up race, ranger always get beaten badly because of the lame 2.2l engine.
the Headunit looks kinda cheapo. and the aircond controller,,,hmmm come on toyota u can give better than this…
Ford Ranger all the way!
Its ok la 7 airbags for top range..mine np300 navara vl top specs got only 2 airbag.while in thai the put 7.in aussie they put heat and cool ventilation seat and sunroof…3rd world mentality car manufacturer think to malaysia..in thai dmax got 6 airbag,keyless entry and power seat..what the fish car manufacturer thinks about us..even indonesia get better spec and cheap price..aiyoo
Navara is sold by what company? It is cheating bolehlnd people?
Syah: How about the rest performance of NP300? Fuel consumption, wind noise inside the cabin, etc
If you don’t get ya NP300 yet, would you mind to buy a new but much inferior everything than Thai’s version Hilux?
Toyota suffered the most at the beginning of 2016 and I hope they will continue to do badly for the rest of the year to teach them a lesson for raising prices of vehicles which have nothing in it. Now if only Honda will make a pickup…
I knew one Toyota top salesman, bloody hell, he said to everyone he hit sales target set for him last year, therefore, his employer rewarded him an overseas trip to Japan this year. But my wife told me he just got fired earlier month for unable to hit sales target for 21 consecutive months. No one buy Toyota now.
Same lorrr? Anyone sees him at jusco selling undergarments?
I am getting my 5th Lexus soon. All hailat kimchis driver are jeoulous
Honda just launch their pickup called ridgeline in US. Unfortunately, it wont be available here, not even in Aussie…
ridgeline already existed years ago. 2016 is the latest model of it.
btw, i’ve been to cambodia and all those Toyota Tundra, Ford F150, Tacoma and Honda Pilot all over the place. only Ridgeline i’ve not seen.. cambodia is our neigbouring country right..? maybe one day those car will come here XD
If ‘our’ means tomyamland, then yeah, cambodia is ur neighbour
Wah, kereta mewah ni.
Apa lu cakap?
Gua manyak sokongs dari Kalimantan, Okey?
Not sure why honda malaysia didnt bring the ridgeline to malaysia. the package honda ridgeline have is quite impressive. but as today, only 3.5l petrol available.
Paying a premium for safety features that are necessity ? Tells you a lot about the company that tries to sell it. Pathetic ….
Yup. Airbags , VSC you cannot add later. Headunit , GPS bla bla bla anytime you can get it at kedai abang. Sigh.
But MY pipu still support compared to a kompeni that is pushing for better safety in their cars
In looks dept, ford has beaten hilux with its tough and modern design. Hilux deaign didnt change much since the 1st model
The climate controls are absolutely disgusting!! Looks like it was taken off the ford ranger from the year 2001!
Kanggaro bar hilux ni pelik la, tak sama macam versi thailand dan australia. Radio unit pun pelik. UMW mau buat untung dengan tukar barang2 ni ke?
Toyota had been recyling old techno for up to date price but everybody know now see where people are heading now and you deserved it. I remember you once best seller but neglecting improvement had turn the table of fortune whereby Honda and Ford had been very sucessful lately
Way too expensive.Overprice.Some features are not available on Malaysia market.I don’t think this worth money to buy.
