The Toyota Hilux 2.4G Limited Edition has now been
officially announced. The LE is based on the
Hilux 2.4G AT, which sits just below the range-topping 2.8L model in the local
Hilux lineup. This limited edition is dressed up in a significantly more rugged
outfit.
The Hilux LE comes in white, which contrasts nicely
with the chrome-replacing dark add-ons. Up front, there’s a black grille, dark
grey headlamp covers, gloss dark grey fog lamp covers and hood garnish. There’s
also a bumper guard to emphasise the off-road look. No more chrome wing
mirrors; they’re black here, along with the darkened rims and over fenders.
Black stripes sit on the truck’s bonnet and the roof
gets a large piece of black sticker along with ornamental “roof rails”. Also
present are carbon fibre effect stickers for the B pillars, dark grey rear lamp
covers and more stripes on the side and tailgate. All the accessories have been
tested and pass Toyota’s high quality standards.
The interior has been left untouched, and there are
no mechanical changes, so one gets the new 2.4 litre GD series engine with 150
PS and 400 Nm of torque, available between 1,600 rpm and 2,000 rpm. The 2GD-FTV
turbodiesel is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel
drive.
Priced at RM 126,000 on-the-road including insurance,
which is RM4,100 costlier than the standard 2.4G AT, the LE comes with keyless
entry and push start, a 6.1-inch touchscreen head unit, eight-way powered
driver’s seat, leather, three airbags, VSC and window tint, among other things.
UMWT also took the opportunity to officially
announce the 2.4G STD variants that appeared in price lists last month. The STD
models have slightly lower specs than the 2.4G, which also mean lower entry
prices – RM 108,500 for the MT and RM 118,300 for the AT.
