About this video
The Toyota Hilux has finally come in for a new generation 10 years after the last generationโs launch, but it isnโt exactly a massive change. Based on the same platform and using a carryover 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine, the new ninth-generation Hilux is more of a deep facelift than an all-new model.
Under the new front and rear bumpers โ the cabin cell is carryover โ the Hilux gets liquid-filled engine mounts, very different cabin tech and looks plus revisions to the suspension.
With pricing announced for Australia, road test editor John Law takes a first look at the new Hilux, asks if itโs new enough to challenge the Ford Ranger, Kia Tasman, Isuzu D-Max and BYD Shark 6 plus whether it offers true value.
