The Toyota Hilux remains South Africa’s most popular vehicle, often topping not only the light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales charts but the overall one too. Offered in four bodyshape configurations; single, xtra, chassis and double-cab – there is a Hilux to suit everyone’s needs.
Key to success in the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) sector is being responsive to customer needs and designing a product that caters to a wide range of target customers. With this philosophy in mind, Toyota South Africa has applied some key changes to the Hilux product line-up, to cater to ever-evolving customer demands.
Xtra features for Xtra Cab
The most notable change is brought to Xtra Cab where the Legend grade now includes Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) 2.0. This active safety system brings with it a Pre-Collision System (PCS), high-speed-range Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Departure Alert (LDA). TSS operation can be adjusted via dedicated steering switches or via the Multi-Information Display (MID). As part of the spec upgrade, the exterior mirrors now also incorporate a welcome light feature (as with Double-cab Legend models).
Legend Grade Alignment – Double Cab
As part of a second wave of Legend grade alignment, all double-cab Legend models now boast the same specification level (including 4×2 variants which previously omitted the JBL audio). As such, the Legend grade offers:
- Power-adjustable driver seat
- Leather interior
- Toyota Safety Sense (Pre-crash system, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control)
- JBL premium 9-speaker audio system
- Dual-zone climate control
- Smart Entry System
Raised Body Auto Models
Raised Body Auto transmission models (Raider and Legend) are now equipped with an Automatic Transmission Temperature warning, conveniently reporting AT operation when conveying heavy loads or driving on steep terrain.
Colour Choices
The existing colour palette remains, offering buyers a choice of seven hues on single cab, while Xtra and Double cab models can also be specified in Platinum White – with Attitude Black being reserved for double-cab duty. In addition, customers are requested to enquire at their nearest Toyota dealer on the availability of Sand Beige units (available across all three bodyshapes in limited production numbers).
