Toyota has implemented some specification updates for the ever-popular Hilux bakkie. See what’s changed below…

South Africa’s most popular car, the Toyota Hilux, has received a specification update in line with market feedback.

What’s changed in the Hilux range?

In 2020, when Toyota introduced the revised Hilux, only the range-topping Hilux Legend 4×4 automatic double-cab received the full-house feature treatment with nice-to-have features such as a leather interior, JBL premium sound system and Toyota Safety Sense (TSS).

Now, for 2021, Toyota is beefing up the specification for all Legend derivatives, including the Raised Body 4×2, with the inclusion of an electrically adjustable driver’s seat, leather interior, JBL premium sound system with 9 speakers, upgraded dual-zone climate control air conditioning, enhanced smart entry and Toyota Safety Sense which includes a Pre-crash system, Lane Keeping Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control).

As for the Hilux Xtra-cab Legend derivatives, buyers will now be treated to a full leather interior as well as an electrically-adjustable driver’s seat.

The mid-range Hilux Raider specification has also been adjusted to include an alloy spare wheel (all derivatives), height-adjustable driver’s seat (all derivatives), meter illumination control (all derivatives), 60:40 split rear seats (2.4 D/Cab), rear armrest with cupholders (2.4 D/Cab), seat back pockets with hooks (2.4 D/Cab) and upgraded dual-zone climate control )2.8 D/Cab).

In terms of infotainment, Toyota has now removed the integrated navigation system as all derivatives are equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and navigation can be accessed via a smartphone using Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze.

Lastly, Toyota will be offering a new Platinum White Pearl body colour as well as a limited run Sand Beige body colour which will only be produced between October and December 2021.
