Pricing and grade info for the ninth-generation Toyota HiLux has been unveiled, with the 4×4 line-up starting with the Workmate single-cab at $45,990 plus ORC.

Officially revealed earlier this week, the entire new HiLux range will be powered by a 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV diesel engine, with both the 2.4-litre 2GD version and 2.7-litre petrol engines discontinued. The range consists of single-, extra- and double-cab bodies; 4×2 and 4×4 drivelines with manual or automatic transmissions; and WorkMate, SR, SR5, Rogue and Rugged X grades.

The only real point of interest around the loss of the lower-grade engines concerns what the inclusion of the 1GD 2.8 will mean to the price of the basic models like the always popular 2WD single-cab, back tray back traffic-controller-spec variants at $33,990 entry price. 

All new Hiluxes ride on the same wheelbase and wheel track as the previous generation and there will initially be no wide-track models such as the GR Sport offered.

4×4 model line-up

HiLux WorkMate

The WorkMate is distinguished by 17-inch steel wheels, and comes with LED manual-leveling headlights, body-coloured front bumper and grille, electric exterior mirrors with integrated turn signal, sharkfin antenna and the choice of four exterior paint colours. The WorkMate double-cab pick-up adds front and rear mud guards, four tie-down hooks in the tub and a tailgate damper with lift assist for easier opening.

Inside the cabin, the WorkMate has manually adjustable front seats with cloth trim, urethane steering wheel with tilt and telescopic adjustment, all-weather floor mats, power windows, manual air conditioning, and a manual parking brake.

Hilux SR

Stepping up to the HiLux SR brings 17-inch alloy wheels, silver-painted lower front bumper, black-painted door handles, side mirrors and hood moulding, LED front fog lamps, locking rear tailgate, side steps, and six exterior colour choices.

The interior gets additional bolstering for the front seats, high-grade cloth trim upholstery, leather-accented shift knob and steering wheel, rear-seat air conditioning vent, 300W inverter, smart entry and start, wireless smartphone charger, eight-speaker audio system, a panoramic view monitor, tyre pressure monitoring system, a locking rear differential, Multi Terrain Select, and downhill assist control.

SR 4×4 double-cab automatic models (and those above it) come with Toyota’s V-Active technology to boost the 2.8L engine. This includes a 48-volt system with an 8.5kW/65Nm electric motor generator and DC/DC converter for improved driving feel during take-off.

HiLux SR5

The HiLux SR5 is available as a manual pick-up, or with the V-Active automatic in cab-chassis or pick-up body styles. It adds 18-inch alloy wheels with larger front disc brakes and ventilated rear disc brakes, integrated towbar, high-grade auto-levelling LED headlights, LED tail-lights and rear fog lamp, sports bar, privacy glass, and auto folding/heated exterior mirrors.

Inside, the SR5 gets dual-zone automatic climate control, cooled glove box, heated front seats and steering wheel, a larger 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, electro-chromatic rearview mirror, all-weather mats, and an electric park brake. Customers with automatic versions will also be able to remotely activate their air conditioning via the Toyota Connect+ feature.

As was available in the previous model, The SR5 can be optioned with the Premium Interior package, which, for $2500, bundles black leather-accented upholstery, eight-way powered driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a nine-speaker JBL sound system.

SR5 and above HiLuxes also get the comfort-oriented rear leaf suspension tune designed to provide a more compliant and supple ride compared to the working-class lower grades. This suspension retains the HiLux’s load-carrying and towing capabilities but is designed to deliver a more comfortable ride.

HiLux Rogue and Rugged X

The two range-toppers are built on the SR5 Premium package but add a range of features designed to appeal to different buyers. 

The Rogue adds black 18-inch alloy wheels, tailgate badging, unique sports bar and front bumper, marine-grade carpet bedliner with electric roller cover, deck rail with two sliding tie down points, 12V tub power outlet, central locking tailgate, mineral-coloured upholstery and a fully fitted towing package including tongue and ball, trailer wiring harness, and electronic brake controller.

The new Rugged X variant is claimed to improve off-road capability with the inclusion of a Toyota hoopless metal front bumper, front and rear recovery points, an LED light bar, decal package, sports bar, bezel, tow-pack, bedliner, and mineral upholstery colour.
