2024 Toyota HiLux Summary

Since its launch in the 1960s, the iconic HiLux has been one of Toyota’s strongest-selling models. The current eighth-generation continues that tradition, even though now in its ninth year in local showrooms and having lost its long-held 4x4 sales leadership to Ford’s Ranger.

Toyota has done a commendable job in keeping the HiLux looking fresh since its local launch in 2015, with numerous cosmetic/equipment updates and the addition of prestige models like the wide-track Rogue and performance-enhanced GR Sport.

The 4x4 HiLux’s latest upgrade is the first use of Toyota's new 'V-Active' 48V technology, which provides electric assistance to the diesel engine. Toyota claims improved fuel efficiency, acceleration and smoothness, along with enhanced off-road prowess. We recently put one to the test to see how it measures up from a tradie’s perspective.
