Toyota Australia has confirmed pricing and a new name for its 48-volt-equipped variants of the HiLux ute set to go on sale in March.
The Toyota HiLux with 'V-Active Technology' will be offered in five grades in the HiLux range, starting from $54,130, before on-roads, for an SR double-cab chassis.
Pricing for the 48V-equipped V-Active version of the SR is up $1025 over the standard drivetrain version of the model, which remains available without Toyota's V-Active tech.
SR5 and Rogue variants now come standard with V-Active, though pricing increases are smaller for these grades. Pricing and changes are available in a table at the end of this story.
Toyota has also confirmed V-Active variants will come with the brand’s 'Multi-Terrain Select' off-road system (MTS) which offers Dirt, Sand, Mud, Deep Snow and Auto modes in high-range and Sand, Mud, Auto and Rock modes in low-range to optimise traction while off-roading.
To offset price increases somewhat, SR V-Active variants gain dual-zone automatic climate control, auto up-down windows, and smart entry and start over non V-Active models, while SR5 and Rogue variants gain a wireless charger and two rear USB-C charging ports.
Toyota claims the V-Active’s 48-volt assist system “provides an improvement of up to approximately 10 per cent in fuel economy compared to variants equipped with the standard 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine” thanks to “energy stored in the battery used to provide additional powertrain output”.
Toyota adds “the motor generator unit has been positioned high in the engine bay to allow for successful and safe water crossings”.
There are some visual changes, including fresh front-end styling with a new honeycomb grille and new bumpers for all but the Workmate, SR single-cab and petrol grades, while the rear of the WorkMate, SR, SR5 and GR Sport pick-ups adds a new gloss black read bumper. Rogue and SR5 variants also add rejigged design elements.
In terms of new gear, all pick-up grades get a tailgate damper for a softer opening and closing, while automatic SR double-cabs add front and rear parking sensors. Wireless charging can now be found in SR5 double-cab auto, as well as Rogue and GR Sport.
