We have now driven the Legend 50, read our launch review here

The eagerly anticipated Toyota Hilux Legend 50 is due to be released in South Africa in the first week of July 2019. Ahead of the vehicle's launch, Toyota's local website has provided all the details about the newcomer. From launch, Hilux Legend 50 specification is available across the range and you can opt for 3 body styles: single cab, xtra cab and double cab.

With over a million units sold over the past 50 years, the Toyota Legend 50 comes to market with a more aggressive grille, front bumper, new alloy wheel design,larger multimedia display, keyless entry, push-button start, black styling bar, side steps and Legend 50 badges galore. Additional features include LED-powered fog lights, headlights, daytime running lights and brake lights.

There are two engines to choose from. The popular choice will be the tried-and-tested 2.8-litre GD-6 which offers up 130 kW and 450 Nm. It's claimed to be pretty frugal, with consumption figures of 7.6 L/100 km and 8.5 L/100 km for the manual and automatic respectively. The secondengine choice is the 4.0-litre V6 which is for the die-hard petrol fans. Offering up 175 kW and 376 Nm, this engine is said to consume 11.8 L/100 km. The manual-equipped Hilux features Intelligent Manual Transmission, which cleverly rev matches the engine to the transmission to ensure a smooth drive.

As always, the Toyota Hilux is supremely capable over the rough stuff and the 4×4 equipped models feature the range selector dial which allows you to conveniently switch between 2-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive and 4-wheel low range. There's also a differential lock on the rear axle. For additional peace of mind, there's downhill assist control and hill-start assist.

Customers will be able to choose from 8 colours and the vehicle comes with a 3-year / 100 000 km warranty and Toyota's 9 services plan. There is the option to extend your warranty and service plan too. We'll be driving the new Toyota Legend 50 in the first week of July 2019.
