Toyota are planning to overhaul the Hilux quite a bit for its 2015 edition, and the truck is about to get various improvements to its design. Toyota are planning to offer the truck in different versions that should suit most buyers’ needs, and these will include one with a 2.5 liter engine, as well as 3 liter and 4 liter models. However, Toyota are reassuring buyers that they have put a lot of effort into the fuel efficiency of each model, and their performance is individually fine-tuned.
This is not that surprising, as fuel efficiency has been becoming a stronger factor in buyers’ decisions in most areas of the market, including trucks. People tend to care a lot about how much fuel they’re burning nowadays, and companies have started to adapt not only their designs, but also their marketing to tailor to that. While Toyota haven’t been as obnoxious in their advertising as some of their competitors yet, they certainly have a lot to brag about in this department.
The new Hilux also comes with a noticeably larger body, which also sports a more aggressive look than before. It’s obvious that Toyota are trying to gain some recognition on the American market with this model, as it’s a bit different from their previous models which were not aimed at the US in particular. In addition, the new Hilux will see an increased use of technology, with various extra gadgets added to improve the driving experience.
Meanwhile, reviewers have been taking a look at the Black Edition of the 2015 Hilux, and while opinions have been mostly positive, there have been some negative remarks about the truck. Reviewers have been generally fond of the improvements in the car’s aesthetics and design, as well as the added comfort on the inside. The extra gadgets have also not gone unnoticed.
However, according to some who’ve been behind the wheel of the Black Edition, it doesn’t handle as well as one would expect from a truck in its price range, and there’s more to be expected in terms of performance. Still, the truck managed to rank quite nicely compared to similar offers by competitors, so it appears that buyers looking for a good truck in 2015 should still not pass on the 2015 Hilux. Toyota have an overall good offer with it, despite its shortcomings, and it’s expected that the 2015 Hilux will be talked about quite a lot. The company has been making a lot of progress with their trucks lately, and it’s certainly exciting to think about what they might have planned for their next releases, not just for 2015 but beyond.
