Toyota is bringing a special edition Hilux pickup to
the 2019 Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham that takes place from April 30
until May 2. Called
simply the Hilux 2019 Special Edition, the new variant brings exclusive
exterior and interior design features for both Double Cab and Extra Cab models.
On the outside, the special edition Hilux sports
Black and Dark Grey components including the front upper grille surround, fog
lamp bezel, skid plates, door and tailgate handles, mirror caps as well as rear
bumper corners and skid plate. Furthermore, Toyota throws in new 18-inch alloys
as well in a two-tone finish for Western European markets and all-black finish
for Eastern Europe.
Inside, the Hilux 2019 Special Edition comes with an
all-black interior, chrome instrument panel detailing, and piano black inserts
on the dash, steering wheel, gear lever, gear shift surround, and door cards.
Also unique are the instrument dials with a white background and a dedicated
Hilux 2019 Special Edition signature animation appearing on the central TFT
screen when the ignition is switched on.
Even the key is model-specific, as it features a
silhouette sketch of the pickup truck’s frontal design. The Toyota Safety Sense safety pack is available on the special edition
version as well. It includes features such as Pre-Collision System (PCS) with
day and night pedestrian detection and daytime cyclist detection, High-Speed
Range Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Road Sign Assist (RSA) and Lane Departure
Alert (LDA) with brake induced steering.
The Hilux 2019 Special Edition will go on sale
throughout Europe from August as part of an upgraded Hilux model range.
However, Toyota hasn’t gotten into specifics regarding the updates in store for
regular Hilux models.
