Toyota have several new models in the pipeline scheduled for a release some time during either 2015 or 2016, and while the company’s fans are generally excited about what’s coming up, there are also some notes of negativity aimed at the rather slow pace at which news have been coming out lately. And indeed, we’ve seen some spy shots and leaks of the 2015 Hilux, but not much else so far – while the 2016 Fortuner remains in a similarly mysterious state.
What’s going on behind Toyota’s scenes, and when is the company going to come out with some news about their current developments? This question has been on many people’s minds lately, and the apparent slowdowns in the current development aren’t being taken lightly by everyone.
However, it seems like the wait will be over soon, as signs are pointing towards an announcement before the end of 2015, as far as the Fortuner is concerned. There were recently rumors that the 2016 Fortuner was spotted going through some final testing phases in Brazil, so it looks like the company will soon be ready to reveal the model to the public.
There are actually already talks about the 2016 Hilux going around, so the situation is a bit confusing to some auto enthusiasts with regards to scheduling. According to reports, the 2016 Hilux is coming with a more conservative approach to its design, which some have claimed is a noticeable departure from the previous style of the line, and might not be suitable for everyone’s taste.
So is the new Hilux scheduled for 2015 or 2016? While it’s clear that there’s a new model coming up, there is still confusion about Toyota’s specific plans for its release, which is why some editions are referring to it as the “2015 Hilux” and others as the “2016 Hilux”. There are good reasons to believe that we’ll see the new model before the end of 2015, however, so interested buyers may want to know that they will potentially have an extra choice in the market in a few months.
If the spy shots of the new Hilux are to be of any indication, Toyota are trying some new things with the design of the vehicle, and as some critics have pointed out, those changes might not be received too well by all fans of the brand. On the other hand, there have been lots of positive responses as well – so it looks like it’s going to be hard to tell how this model is going to perform until we actually see it released on the market.
