The facelifted 2024 Toyota HiLux is now on sale in Australia, bringing a new look for certain variants, a handful of new features and 48-volt technology in select examples – just don’t call it a hybrid. Pricing has changed for about half of the Toyota HiLux range for 2024, owing to minor specification changes or the arrival of its ‘V-Active’ 48-volt mild-hybrid system, reserved for just five dual-cab 4×4 models.
The new V-Active mild-hybrid system adds a motor generator, 48V battery, and DC/DC converter to both versions of the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel, though its outputs are unchanged. This is exclusively available in four-wheel drive and automatic guise. Efficiency Fuel economy figures for the HiLux range are as follows: Toyota is yet to release fuel consumption figures for V-Active engines. Dimensions The Toyota HiLux’s dimensions vary greatly, depending on which body and variant is ordered.
