2021 Toyota Hilux

The 2021 Toyota Hilux 2.8L (AN120/AN130 Facelift) represents a major mid-cycle update to Toyota's legendary mid-size pickup truck. Featuring a revised 3D front grille, sharp LED headlamps with integrated light guides, sculpted front bumpers, dynamic LED taillights, and wide fender flares, the 2021 Hilux blends rugged commercial utility with executive road presence. Trim levels range from practical workhorses (SR / Active) and well-appointed mid-spec grades (SR5 / Invincible) to high-tier lifestyle editions (Rocco, Invincible X, and GR Sport).Under the bonnet, the 2021 Hilux receives an upgraded 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV inline-4 turbocharged diesel engine equipped with a larger heavy-duty turbocharger and improved cooling. Output is boosted significantly to 204 PS (201 hp / 150 kW) and 500 Nm of torque (when paired with the 6-speed automatic; 420 Nm with the 6-speed manual). Power is delivered via a part-time 4WD system featuring an electronic transfer case, high/low range gearing, an auto-disconnecting differential (ADD), a rear differential lock, and an electronic traction control system designed to emulate a mechanical limited-slip differential in 2WD mode. Inside, the cabin offers car-like comfort and upgraded tech. Highlights include a revised instrument cluster with an integrated 4.2-inch TFT driver display, an 8.0-inch central touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and physical volume knobs, automatic climate control, durable fabric or perforated leather upholstery, a cooled upper glovebox, and the Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance suite on mid-to-high specs.
