UMW Toyota Hilux Malaysia announced that the small facelift Hilux will be open for pre-orders from now on. The pre-sale price ranges from RM93,880 to RM148,880.

Customers now have a total of 5 styles to choose from, among which Double Cab 2.4E A/T version is a new specification, and the new Double Cab 2.8 Rogue A/T replaces the current Double Cab 2.8 Black Edition. In addition, the new Double Cab 2.4V A/T will be an upgraded version of the current Double Cab 2.4 L-Edition. For customers who like manual gearboxes, Double Cab 2.4G and Single Cab 2.4 versions are still retained.

Open to accept reservations now

The new Hilux car series will be available soon and is now available for pre-orders at all authorized Toyota dealers nationwide. The pre-sale price ranges from RM93,880-RM148,880.

Interested customers can also purchase the Double Cab 2.8 Rouge A/T 4×4 model (only applicable to models sold in 2020) at a special price of RM144,880 (Early Bird Special Price).

New design

The new Hilux has many elements redesigned, such as the front bumper, grille and fog light bezel. For the flagship Hilux Double Cab 2.8 Rogue, it is equipped with a new hood and anti-skid plate, while the basic version has a new design technique for its 17-inch and 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels.

Toyota safety sense

In order to achieve more safety and reduce accidents, many Toyota models are now equipped with Toyota safety supersensing system, which consists of three systems: pre-collision system, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure warning and yaw assist.

Performance improvement

The 2.8L turbocharged diesel engine codenamed 1G-FTV has been improved to improve power output and torque performance. Its maximum output power provides 204PS horsepower when the engine speed reaches 3,400rpm (an increase of 27PS), and the maximum torque reaches 500Nm (an increase of 50Nm) between 1,600 and 2,800rpm.

Although the output power of the current engine has increased, the fuel consumption performance has not increased. In fact, due to the use of a two-stage oil pump that can optimally switch oil pressure, fuel efficiency has been improved. In addition, the new car is also equipped with a water-cooled double-pipe pre-EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) cooler to optimize the EGR gas temperature.

The power assisted rack and pinion steering system for the new Hilux (except for Single Cab models) now has a variable flow control system, which reduces the need for power steering pumps, thereby saving fuel consumption. At the same time, the driver will find more natural handling in different speed ranges, thereby enhancing the steering feel. It feels lighter at low speeds, making parking operations easier, but at higher speeds it feels heavier, providing a more confident control feel.

In addition, the new car is equipped with an automatic limited-slip differential. When the rear wheel starts to rotate unilaterally, the system will control the brake and engine output through the traction control system to help ensure maximum traction. The automatic limited-slip differential system is only compatible with the high-profile model, and it can still intervene in the 2WD driving mode up to 50km/h.

In the cabin, the notable change of the flagship model is the new interior design, including new instrument design, door trim with lighting function and new key design. The basic model also uses a new instrument design and provides more reading information on the multiple information display.

Finally, the slightly modified Hilux is available in 7 body colors, including Bronze Mica Metalic, Crimson Spark Red Metallic, Attitude Black Mica, Phantom Brown Metallic, Medium Silver Metallic, Silver Metallic and Super White II. The Single Cab version of Hilux is only available in pure white.
