Features

Interior

The interior of the 2025 Toyota Hilux demonstrates high build quality and a modern, driver-centric theme. Premium materials, such as soft-touch surfaces and durable fabrics, enhance the tactile experience. The pick-up features fabric seats with durable upholstery. The switches, knobs and other controls are easily accessible.

Exterior

Hilux showcases a rugged build quality and durable construction. It features sharp LED headlights plus LED fog lamps which is a pretty decent setup, especially in rainy conditions. The vehicle comes with either 16 or 17-inch wheels, depending on the variant you choose.

The rear profile is equally impressive with LED taillamps and foglamp. The cargo bed area of the pick-up gets full lining.

Entertainment and convenience

Looking at the type of job this vehicle is supposed to do, entertainment has to be one of the top priorities to keep the driver and co-passenger busy during long hauls. The Toyota Hilux comes with an 8-inch Connected Display Audio touchscreen infotainment with an Apple CarPlay system and a 4-speaker sound system.

 Comfort

The 2025 Toyota Hilux offers a range of comfort and practical features to enhance the driving experience. Keyless entry and a push-button start system provide seamless access and ignition, while power side mirrors with integrated turn signal lamps ensure convenience and safety. 

The vehicle comes with front seat ventilation and automatic climate control to keep the cabin comfortable in all conditions. An overhead console, front cup holders and a cool box add to practicality, making long trips more enjoyable. One-touch power windows on all doors, including a sliding rear window, offer ease of use. 

Safety

The 2025 Toyota Hilux prioritizes safety with features such as airbags for the driver and front passenger, along with a knee airbag for the driver. A rear camera and parking sensors assist in manoeuvring in tight spaces, while a rear differential lock improves traction in challenging conditions. 

Then there is ABS with EBD, ensuring controlled stopping while vehicle stability control helps maintain stability during dynamic driving. As an off-roader and a towing vehicle, the job of Hill-start assist control becomes vital as it helps prevent the car from rolling backwards from an incline, while a tyre pressure warning system alerts the driver of potential issues in advance. 

Fuel efficiency

The Toyota Hilux can deliver mileage between 9.9-15.9kmpl, depending on the variant.

Best value for money

Since diesel and 4x4 combination is considered the best in such vehicles for better fuel efficiency and torque. Hence, the best value-for-money variant is the GL2 4x4 2.4L DSL. A powerful engine putting out a torque output of 400Nm and 14.9kmpl of fuel efficiency makes this variant a viable choice.

With a range of powerful engine options and enhanced towing and payload capacities, the Hilux stands out in the mid-size segment. All in all, the Toyota Hilux is a capable pick-up truck for both work and leisure.

Alternatives

The Hilux competes against Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi L200, Maxus T60, Maxus T70 Pro and Maxus T90 in its class.
