UMW Toyota Motor has officially announced that it will begin taking orders for the all-new Toyota Hilux. Although an official launch date has not been provided, the company did reveal the pick-up truck’s pricing, which is lower than the earlier estimated prices.
The Hilux’s only single cab offering is the 2.4 4×4 manual, priced at RM89,900. Moving up the range, we come to the double cab variants, which starts at the 2.4 4×2 manual, priced at RM91,900, followed by the 2.4 Standard 4×4 manual at RM99,900.
Next, the 2.4G 4×4 manual will cost RM109,900 and its self-shifting equivalent, the 2.4G 4×4 automatic wears a price tag of RM121,900. The top-of-the-range 2.8G 4×4 automatic is priced at RM133,900. All the prices mentioned here are on-the-road with insurance.
With the prices out of the way, let’s talk specifications. The new Hilux will be powered by Toyota’s new GD turbodiesel line-up, which come in 2.4 and 2.8 litre configurations, corresponding to the variants’ name.
On the exterior, the non-G Hilux variants come with 16- and 17-inch steel wheels, whereas the 2.4G (manual and auto) get 17-inch alloys. The large 18-inch alloy options are reserved for the 2.8G, including the LED projector headlamps (rest of the pack get halogen reflectors).
Inside, a new double-DIN 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system can be found for the G Hilux variants, along with a keyless entry and start and a drive mode switch (Normal, Eco and Power). However, only the 2.4G auto and 2.8G (interior pictured below) get an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat, and leather upholstery.
As for the non-G variants, a double-DIN head unit is fitted instead, featuring CD playback and a host of inputs. Elsewhere, the steering wheel is made of urethane as opposed to leather, although it is still tilt and telescopic adjustable.
To take on rough terrain, a 4WD transfer dial and rear differential lock is fitted on every variant except the 2.4 4×2 manual for obvious reasons. Moving on, Active Traction Control (A-TRC) is standard on the 2.4G AT and 2.8G only.
Safety-wise, the Hilux is a step up from before. On all variants, including the base single cab offering, three airbags along with ABS and EBD are now standard. The 2.8G does one better by adding an additional four airbags. In a similar fashion to A-TRC, VSC and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) will only be available on the 2.4G and 2.8G.
What do you think of the pricing for the all-new Toyota Hilux? Which variant is the most attractive for you? Will you prefer it to the other pick-up trucks in the market like the Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi Triton and Nissan NP300 Navara?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Still too expensive and IMHO the 2.4G manual’s price should have been the automatic price to begin with then only it makes some sense to buy the Hilux
“In a similar fashion to A-TRC, VSC and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) will only be available on the 2.4G and 2.8G.”
This is abit misleading. It should be 2.4G auto and 2.8G. The 2.4G Manual has none of the above.
OMG…pricing – bad, interior – bad, exterior – bad, spec – normal, RV – samloo will say good.
LOL.
Little boy talk little thing.
2013 MAI CEO promise reduce car price to 30% by 2018… 2 years to go until then Malaysia car price start increasing to 10% -20% !!! Why’s the CEO now??? UMW good job for making less sales to the company !
how will sam loo respond to this..? XD
7 airbag… Toyota Badge…
If I didnt have the 2016 WildTrak.. I would seriously consider this..
Expensive… Id rather get the Ranger… Its selling with few k’s discount
Purple colour bling bling is for me
Let’s just hope that this is an April Fool’s joke and it will actually be priced at current gen Hilux prices with Thailand specifications.
Where is the Auto Climate Control?
‘new’ Hilux fuel guzzler looks so UGLY, especially the dashboard, damn expensive… as long as from Toyojapang.. local basher will said it great maa..
hahaha.
Now a few grands more reasonable though RM110K for 2.4G 4×4 6AT is more realistic + Auto Climate is standard feature.
RM125K is maximum is more rational with Thai’s spec.
IUMW Toyota should have 2nd variant- Hilux body with new Fortuner front face to avoid Platypus look.
last UMW Toyota car to fight for survival…
i see Toyota Malaysia taking back for good soon..
I see toyota going into tong sampah soon.
not really surprised by the price, but for 2.4G manual,wtf?? the spec jus way too much difference for safety
Too expensive! I wanted to book one but decided to to cancel it. My very good salesman then confessed pricing is testing market but looks like response is bad so they is a chance they will revise the price lower or even throw in big discount.
Hold your booking!
better RV with VSC HAC..stop say moving coffin ..is about drive
Yet we still see many Hilux on the road. It is the best Hilux yet. This new engine is quiter and even more responsive then before. Many manufacturer can make a 2.4 Diesel engine, but none like this one. Pair that with 6 Speed, VSC, A TRC and differential, it is a winning combination.
For my understanding, many car manufacturer does not practicing 2.4L variant of engines. Through history mostly produced by Toyota alone. Manufacturer nowadays tend to reduce the engine size below that too. Like ford with 2.2L and Isuzu 1.9L.
M hoping that more people will switch to Hilux then d long waiting list for ranger wildtrak will b reduced to just a few months instead of a year or more!
