Extra performance for Toyota Hilux
Toyota Hilux now benefits from 2 new D-4D diesel engines. A high performance 3.0-litre D-4D with 171 DIN hp and 343 Nm of torque, and a 2.5-litre D-4D boosted to 120 DIN hp and 325 Nm of torque, replacing the current low and high torque engine options.
Both new engines comply with Euro IV emissions regulations and provide excellent balance of driving pleasure, low fuel consumption and low emissions. These more powerful engines also allow Hilux customers a wider choice to suit their work, leisure and adventure lifestyle.
The appeal of the Toyota Hilux is further enhanced by exterior styling changes, which give the vehicle a more distinctive look, and, for the 3.0-litre D-4D model, a high-tech Optitron meter panel and multi-info display come as standard.
There will be a choice of transmissions – five-speed manual or four speed automatic – and the 3.0-litre D-4D will be available exclusively with the Double Cab, 4x4 body style in SR grade and above. This new 3.0 litre D-4D engine will give the Hilux a top speed of 170 km/h (manual transmission) while still offering excellent fuel consumption of 8.3 l/100km (combined cycle, manual transmission). Equipped with the 4 speed A/T, the Hilux top speed is 175 km/h.
Driving pleasure is further enhanced on the 3.0-litre D-4D automatic with the inclusion of cruise control as a standard feature.
Included in the list of available options is full map, DVD-based navigation with touch-screen and dynamic route guidance, also integrating the audio system with radio, CD and MP3 player.
The premium positioning of the Toyota Hilux, as the ultimate leisure and adventure vehicle is further emphasised by the launch of a new, flagship grade, the SR-X, in selected markets. Available only with the 3.0-litre D-4D, the Hilux SR-X will appeal to customers wanting to maximise the premium leisure status of their Hilux with features such as full leather interior trim, DVD-navigation, unique alloy wheels and chrome side bars.
The 2007 Toyota Hilux will go on sale across Europe in late Autumn 2006 and will first be revealed at the British International Motor Show, starting July 18th.
