New Look, Tough Vibes
Toyota has just launched the 2025 Hilux in India, and it’s ready to steal the show with its rugged style and unbeatable off-road skills. This pickup truck, priced between Rs. 30.40 lakh and Rs. 37.90 lakh (ex-showroom), is not just a vehicle but a statement for adventure lovers. The new Hilux Black Edition, showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, brings a stunning all-black design with bold features like a blacked-out grille, 18-inch black alloy wheels, and sleek black door handles. It’s built to turn heads, whether you’re cruising city streets or tackling tough terrains. With its muscular look and practical loading bay, the Hilux is perfect for those who want both style and strength.
Power-Packed Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Hilux packs a punch with its 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine. This beast delivers 201 bhp and up to 500 Nm of torque with the six-speed automatic transmission, making it a champ on steep hills and rough trails. You can choose between a manual or automatic gearbox, both designed to give smooth power for any adventure. The Hilux’s 4WD system, with high (H4) and low (L4) range options, ensures it can handle muddy paths, rocky roads, or sandy dunes with ease. Plus, a mild-hybrid option in select markets adds better fuel efficiency without losing its tough edge.
Built for the Wild
The Hilux is a true off-road king, loaded with features to conquer any challenge. Its ladder-frame chassis, shared with the Fortuner, is extra strong, with wider rails and sturdy cross members for durability. Features like Downhill Assist Control, Active Traction Control, and an Electronic Differential Lock make it a beast on tough terrains. With 220 mm of ground clearance and improved approach and departure angles, it crawls over rocks and rivers like a pro. The Hilux Extreme Off-Road Concept, shown earlier, even adds chunky tyres, a snorkel, and rock sliders for those who want to push the limits.
Comfort Meets Utility
Step inside, and the Hilux surprises with a comfy cabin that feels premium yet practical. The top variants get leather seats, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and dual-zone AC. Safety is top-notch with seven airbags, ABS, hill hold control, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes collision warnings and lane assist. The spacious five-seater cabin and 435-litre boot space make it great for long trips or carrying gear. Whether you’re heading to a campsite or a worksite, the Hilux keeps you comfortable and connected.
Why It’s a Game-Changer
The 2025 Hilux is more than just a pickup—it’s a lifestyle choice for adventure seekers and businesses alike. Its towing capacity of up to 3,600 kg and massive payload make it a workhorse for construction sites or farms. For thrill-seekers, it’s the perfect partner for weekend getaways to mountains or deserts. Toyota’s reputation for reliability, paired with modern tech like a Panoramic View Monitor for off-road navigation, makes it stand out. While it may feel bulky for daily city drives, its commanding presence and off-road skills make it worth every penny. Bookings are open, with deliveries starting in March 2025—grab yours now
