The fresh new 2023 Toyota Hilux will arrive next year, featuring mid-cycle improvements. If you didn’t know, this pickup is top-rated throughout the world, especially in Australia. However, changes on the exterior will be minimal, while the interior should be more modern.
Initial reports indicate that Toyota will introduce some of the new engines, providing excellent amount of power. One of them is a hybrid unit that will come with excellent fuel economy. The whole system, according to news, will deliver more than 200 horsepower and approximately 350 lb-ft of twists.
2023 Toyota Hilux Exterior Upgrades
The forthcoming 2023 Toyota Hilux will get some exterior changes over the previous generation. In general, we don’t expect any dramatic changes at all. Toyota will reportedly make lighter chassis using some of the lightweight materials. As a result, fuel efficiency ratings will be significantly improved.
The front fascia will probably keep the same recognized design, with more attractive LED headlights and the modified grille. We also expect to see some changes on the side profile, including many tires and wheel upgrades. At the back, the rear fascia will receive the same treatment and a much larger bumper. As for dimension, the same shape and size of the truck will remain.
Interior Design and Technology
Unlike mild outside changes, the 2023 Toyota Hilux’s cabin will receive much more upgrades. However, the interior layout will remain the same, offering maximum comfort for all passengers. Compared to the predecessor, the Hilux cabin will get more premium materials and new upholstery.
The highlight of this model is a new slick-looking dashboard that host a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Entry-level trim includes a basic stereo system, Bluetooth connection, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. If you need something fancier, the manufacturer also offers the Hilux Invincible X model. This variant comes with heated genuine leather seats and with electric adjustment as standard. Active safety features that come as standard are Electronic Stability Control, Lane Keep Assist, Auto Emergency Breaking, etc.
2023 Toyota Hilux Engine Specs
Unlike before, the 2023 Toyota Hilux will offer significantly more horsepower. According to the latest news, Toyota will introduce an all-new V6 turbodiesel engine that should produce around 308 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.
However, this engine will be probably under the hood of the Hilux GR variant. As for the standard Hilux, we can expect a 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine that produces 175 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque. Also, the hybrid variant is confirmed, and it will be combined with an electric motor. Thanks to that, it will probably generate slightly more than 200 horsepower and approximately 350 lb-ft of twists. With the release of the hybrid model, we can expect the best fuel economy.
Release Date and Price
The redesigned 2023 Toyota Hilux pickup truck will arrive next summer, including mild changes. Reportedly, it will start at around $30,000 for the base model.
A hybrid variant should also be available, and it will cost approximately $35,000. Besides, the manufacturer will introduce at the same time the more sporty GR variant, which should be much more expensive.
