UMW Toyota Motor has thrown in more features for the Toyota Hilux range, now trimmed down to six variants instead of eight. The range-topping 2.8G 4×4 AT now gets LED foglamps (the LED headlamps with LED DRLs are the same as before), automatic climate control with rear air vents, cruise control and Downhill Assist Control. Most of these features are added based on customer feedback.


The 2.4G AT now receives seven airbags (front, side, curtain and driver’s knee airbags; previously reserved only for the 2.8G), whereas the 2.4G MT adds Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) and brake assist. Like the 2.8G, both 2.4G variants also get USB charging ports. Other variants of the workhorse remain largely untouched.


Customers can also opt for the 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor which assists parking and can be specified for other Toyota models as well, costing RM 2,650 with GST. There’s also a new RM 2,300 Tough Package for the 2.4G and 2.8G variants, which adds a front bumper underguard, wheel fenders and roof rails (as seen in the main photo above). All six variants of the Hilux come with five-years or 150,000 km warranty.


Prices start from RM 87,200 for the Single-Cab 2.4 MT 4×4 to RM 130,900 for the Double-Cab 2.8G AT 4×4.
