Unlike the Toyota Innova and Fortuner, which both get new variants, there are no new Toyota Hilux variants in the updates announced today. Instead, the pick-up truck’s range has been realigned – it now comes with two fewer variants (six versus eight) and the existing upper variants have been improved in terms of equipment and safety. All following customer feedback and demand, UMW Toyota Motor says.
We start from the top. The range-topping 2.8G, which is only available as a 4×4 AT, gets new LED front foglamps (LED headlamps and DRLs were already there), automatic climate control with rear air con vents, cruise control and Downhill Assist Control to go with the Hill-start Assist Control (HAC). DAC improves directional control during descent on steep or slippery surfaces.
The 2.4G STD name – introduced in January – has been dropped, but its spec list has been taken over by the new 2.4G models. The 2.4G now boasts improved safety kit such as seven airbags for the 2.4G AT (front, side, curtain and driver’s knee airbags; previously reserved for 2.8G) and the addition of VSC, HAC and brake assist for the 2.4G MT. Both the 2.8G and 2.4G get new USB charging ports.
Price changes are negligible compared to the pre-update, and the 2.8G is yours for RM130,900 on the road excluding insurance. The 2.4G MT is priced at RM106,700, while the 2.4G AT is tagged at RM116,300. The workhorse variants below those listed here (Single Cab 2.4 MT 4×4 for RM87.2k, 2.4 STD MT 4×4 for RM96.9k and 2.4 MT 4×2 for RM89.1k) have been left largely untouched for this update. The warranty is for five years or 150,000 km.
The 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor, which assists parking and can be optioned in Toyota’s passenger cars, is now available for the Hilux for an extra RM2,650 including GST. For more information and specs of the Toyota Hilux range, head on over to CarBase.my.

Last time Hilux 2.5G full spec Auto only RM93K
Janji sudah dicapati bro. Same like buying Boeing jets
How does one buying Boeing jets relates to pickup trucks?
A Boeing jet is cost much much much more that this unsafe deathtrap. If anybody can affords a jet, he wun be looking at el cheapo Hailut.
Still by far the most popular pickup in Msia bro…far outselling other trucks
I book Ford Ranger
Most buy Proton Arena
The Hilux is the only model generating any meaningful sales in the whole UMW Toyota lineup.Yes, you can still call Toyota the king but only in the pickup segment. Not like a few years back when Toyota is the king in the B, C and D segments. Ah, how far the king have fallen!
Winter has come to toyota.
Did hilux pass the moose test? last time I check it fail the test.
No mooses over here wak… Toyota Sweden settled the problem by just adding 4psi to the tyres
The moose test is not only for moose, dumbass! It’s a crash avoiding maneuver which applies to human and other road users as well. Putting extra 4 psi can settle the problem? Then you just make your already bumpy Hilux even more uncomfortable and feels like driving on a gravel road everywhere.
bodohnya u… its just a test by some overhyped auto magazine and has been addressed, please look up the latest update…
seriously how come u so stupid
Idiot. Some “overhyped” auto magazine they are for Toyota to send their team of engineers all the way from Japan to rectify the problem. Yeah it has been updated. But only in Europe.
Too late in the game. Triton alredi have 7 airbags since 2 years ago.
Kepala hotak ko 2 years… baru brape bulan jer… main tembak jer ye ko
..and still boxy
Still fabric seats for 2.4 models.
Finally Hilux, Fortuner, Innova are all well-equipped full specs.
No more reason for those crazy macai to keep on bashing UMW Toyota.
Long live Toyota!
Did they improve the tissue paper box bodies?
That wat me saying yo..Toyota the king of kings…rhese here losers are jealous cos they hve shiity rides and regret it…haaha losers!!
I think Isuzu DMax is a better choice.
add just a bit of goodies on the pick-up truck…..and then UP, UP and UP the selling price….
Easy profit made from silly buyers…
The reason why these light trucks sell is due to its utilitarian nature and more importantly, it’s relatively low price.
While it remains utilitarian the price has gone up to a level matching that of SUVS which are more comfortable.
So, from now on we will see sales of SUVs increasing while that of light trucks will go down.
The 2 Hilux at the entrance of used car dealers are self-explanatory to kimchi owners that wanna trade in their cabbages
wow! 7 airbags…. the car is as safe as a tank.
