Japanese auto major Toyota has been always a leading manufacturer of high quality of pickup trucks. Toyota is not only the world’s car leader but also one of the most respected makers of a number of types of vehicles, and pickup trucks are definitely one of the special fields in which Toyota excels. Toyota also offers many highly popular pickup trucks among which the Hilux is certainly among the top models.
Toyota’s pickup truck making prowess is also clearly visible in the super successful 2014 Hilux model which is one of the best selling models in many markets and has grabbed the top spot in Australia. With the high flying success of the 2014 Hilux, Toyota is all ready to unleash an upgraded new 2015 model of the all time popular Hilux pick truck in order to ensure the top spot for the vehicle in many similar international car markets.
The new upcoming 2015 Toyota Hilux model has been already revealed through some leaked pictures that are going viral on the web world. The Hilux is already a stylish, tough pickup and its new updated model seems to be all the more alluring, if the leaked images are really to be believed. As per the newly posted spy images, the new 2015 Hilux will be featuring a front grille that seem to have been inspired by the new Corolla as well as the Highlander. The front grille is divided by a horizontal chrome bar that is an in vogue design element. The overall front face of the new upcoming pickup truck from Toyota looks very attractive, stylish, elegant and by all means very contemporary.
Under the hood, new 2015 Toyota Hilux is believed to be getting powered by a 2.5 liter and 3.0 4 four-cylinder diesel motors for the diesel version. On the other hand, the Hilux’s petrol version will be getting powered by the 4 liter V6 petrol engine which is going to be much bigger and more powerful than in the preceding model.
Apart from the impressive front fascia, the upcoming 2015 Toyota Hilux seems to be retaining the rest of the body with no dramatic changes or added features and looks just like the current model. From the leaked pictures, it seems like the 2015 Hilux looks to have been inspired by the Toyota Highlander and the Volkswagen Amarok in terms of design.
The Hilux’ range of transmission options is likely to include a 5 speed manual transmission and a 6 speed automated transmission gearbox depending on the two and four wheel drive system. The new Hilux will be fighting with the likes of the Nissan Frontier, Volkswagen Amarok, Ford Ranger, and Mazda BT50.
Being a commercial vehicle, the pickup trucks get very severe designs that are restricted, but Toyota has done a great job with 2015 Hilux and has shown that pickups can also be fun and trendy. The 2015 Toyota Hilux is expected to be launched early next year.
