Here it is, boys and girls - the 2016 Toyota Hilux in all its uncamouflaged glory, prior to its unveiling event on May 21. The adjacent photos were taken at a Toyota dealership in Thailand, the country that takes care of production duties for the compact truck.
Thanks to a handful of HiluxRevoThailand.com forum members, the veils have been lifted off the 2016 Hilux two days before its much-anticipated debut. Before all else, let’s talk about the oily bits. The current 2.7-liter petrol is going to live on, albeit slightly updated to meet today’s fuel and emissions regulations. Look forward to 156 ponies (116 kW) and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft).
The rest of the engine options list is taken by a 2.4-liter 2GD-FTV four-cylinder turbo diesel and a 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV four-banger. In the 2.4-liter’s case, the one mated to the 5-speed manual transmission will churn out 165 horsepower and 343 Nm (253 lb-ft). Opt for the optional 6-speed automatic and the output wears down to 160 horsepower and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft).
As for the 2.8-liter, the 6-speed manual variant is rated 174 HP (130 kW) and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) of torque. The one mated to the 6-speed automatic boasts better twist at 450 Nm (332 lb-ft). We’re a bit perplexed too, but the facts are solid and based on Toyota’s appearance at the International Vienna Motor Symposium and various leaked information straight from the Japanese marque.
In the adjacent gallery, you will see two distinct 2016 Toyota Hilux pickup trucks. The red one is a double cab model wearing the range-topping Revo moniker. On the other hand, the silver Hilux is also a double cab but it appears to be a less snazzy trim level, probably a mid-range model.
It’s easy to tell that the “Keen Look” exterior design was carried over from the current-gen Toyota Corolla (E170), but the interior is utilitarian in comparison to the eleventh generation of the Corolla. When will you be able to buy one? Well, reports hint most markets will get the 2016 Toyota Hilux this fall.
