Toyota India, the Indian alliance of the Japanese car manufacturer Toyota Motors, launched the Hilux pick-up in the Indian car market last year in March 2022. The pick-up received an encouraging response from the buyers, but due to high demand and delay in the supply of raw materials, the company had to stop receiving its bookings.

Inside the cabin, it hosts many features like an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports connectivity with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, eight-way power-adjustable front seats, ventilated seats with leather upholstery, cruise control with automatic headlamps, dual-zone automatic climate control and automatic headlamps. The list of other features includes a rear-view camera, seven airbags, a variable flow control steering wheel, and a traction control system.
Under the hood, it receives power from a 2.8-litre diesel engine generating the power of 201 BHP and a torque of 500 Nm. The transmission duties are performed by a six-speed manual gear transmission system followed by an option of a six-speed automatic transmission system.
