The Hilux brand was first introduced by Toyota back in 2005. Over the years, it has surely undergone some changes but those changes were merely subjective in nature. With a brand new 2015 Toyota Hilux, there have been reports that a massive and significant change is in order. Both the exterior, as well as interior of the vehicle, will undergo some constructive changes, and it will be a brand new Toyota Hilux in every way.
Engine:
As far as the engine specs of this vehicle is concerned, there have been many trusted reports that it will most likely have a 2.5 liter or a 3.0 liter diesel option for an engine. Along with that, there might also be an alternate 4.0-liter V6 engine option. All of these modifications will be done on an efficient scale, keeping the fuel efficiency in mind. As far as the drivetrain specs are concerned, the Hilux features an all-wheel drive with improved independent suspension on both ends.
Fuel economy is expected to be at a new high point for this vehicle according to a recent report. Toyota aims to increase the ecological value as well by reducing the level of carbon dioxide emissions on their new vehicle.
Exterior:
Exterior ergonomics of the 2015 Toyota Hilux will get a modern touch too with an innovative design spec. It sports a re-styled version of the front grille along with a few modifications to the headlights. The taillights are also expected to undergo minor changes, along with the installation of LED lights.
Driving experience will also improve as new shock absorbers will also be installed along with improved suspension. All of this is likely to increase the towing capacity of this vehicle from 5,000 lbs to about 6,500 lbs.
Interior:
As far as interior specs are concerned, the 2015 Toyota Hilux will receive an improved dashboard that will contain a brand new climate control technology, as well as a touch interface for easy accommodation. Leather upholstery might also be incorporated in seats and on the dash. The cabin space is likely to improve along with better steering options. This, in turn, will also improve the handling elements of the car.
Safety:
Safety features on the old Toyota Hilux were neither adequate nor impressive, but all this is going to change with the upcoming vehicle. Improved safety specs such as ABS and dual airbags are expected to be installed. Several driver aides will also be provided for better control while driving and parking.
Price and Availability:
It is too early to speculate a release date for the 2015 Toyota Hilux, but its pricing attributes will likely be less than $40,000 with a base price of $20,000. Stay tuned for additional details on this car as we get back to you at the earliest.
