Toyota Hilux is coming to India next month
India Today
The Toyota Hilux shares its chassis set-up with the Toyota Fortuner and will probably share its equipment too, adding a new layer to the infantile pick-up truck segment in India.
Toyota India is all set to introduce the Hilux pick-up here as soon as January of 2022. The vehicle is immensely popular in the USA and Southeast Asian countries ever since its initial launch way back in 1968. Isuzu, the other automaker from Japan, sparked the pick-up truck movement in India with the release of the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross but met with a lukewarm reception here.
The Toyota Hilux sits on the IMV2 architecture on which Toyota’s Indian stars- the Toyota Innova Crysta and the Toyota Fortuner are based, but will be larger than both. Measuring 5,300mm in length with a wheelbase of 3,000mm, it challenges the Isuzu in dimensions. Although available globally in two-door and four-door configurations, the latter is likely to make it to Indian shores.
