The world’s most indestructible pick-up truck has finally arrived. Can India’s trying terrain, battered roads and constantly varying temperatures break the unbreakable Hilux? Is the Hilux a comfortable enough everyday SUV? Just who is the target customer for such a purpose-built machine, with a storied past spanning five decades?
Concept cars are what enthusiasts look forward to at an auto show and the 2023 Auto Expo does not disappoint.
Launched earlier this year, the Hilux is aimed to fulfil the needs of the customers seeking a lifestyle utility vehicle that is best suited for off-roading adventure drives on tough terrains, and everyday city use.
Shortly after winning the 2022 Dakar Rally, the world-famous pick-up truck is making its way to India
The Hilux is based on the same IMV-2 platform as the Innova Crysta and Fortuner. Pricing could be aggressive thanks to the ability to share parts and tech with the other two cars.
