While the current Hilux is only available in certain markets, the 2016 Toyota Hilux is planned to be a Global model meaning that it will be for the first time introduced on the US market. This would mean that the current Tacoma will no longer be produced. Toyota hasn’t officially announced this yet but we are expecting them to because the new Hilux is bigger, more powerful and also much more fuel efficient than the previous generation. According to technical writers from writerformypaper.com, this is one of the best models in that regard.
2016 Toyota Hilux review
On top of all these, the Toyota Hilux 2016 will actually receive a new chassis that will loosely be based on that of the current Tacoma. This means that the usual engines will be gone and replaced with much more fuel efficient ones. Its price though will remain mostly unchanged, so expect to get the least equipped version for as low as 20.000 dollars or even less. The release date has been announced to be at the end of 2015.
Engine of new Toyota Hilux 2016
Just as we said, engine wise there will be some major changes. There are going to be new engines as well as carried over engines from the previous generation. The most likely engine to be carried over will be the 2.7 liter inline 4 with nearly 180 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque. The new engine will be in the form of a new diesel engine that will be based on the new Cummins 5 liter V8. This one will get 2.8 liters in displacement and it will make around 160 horsepower and more than 300 lb-ft of torque, meaning it will actually have more torque than the current 3 liter turbo-diesel but less power. Luckily though it will be much more fuel efficient, so expect it to use around 10% less fuel.

Transmission wise, the old 5 and 4 speed automatics as well as the 5 speed manual will be gone in the favor of all new gearboxes. These will be a 6 speed manual and a 6 speed automatic that will be available both with rear wheel drive and all wheel drive. The latter will also get new electronic differentials that will allow the new Hilux 2016 to be just as good off-road as the old model.
2016 Toyota Hilux reveal
2016 Hilux interior
Inside the new Toyota Hilux there will be changes but not so many as on the exterior. The general layout of the dashboard will remain mostly the same, the differences being in the new type of materials and equipment that will be available. Now even the base model will get things such as automatic climate control, audio system or even a trip computer.
Exterior
Its exterior on the other hand will most likely be different in order to be able to keep up with its main competitor, the Amarok. It will be slightly wider, longer and a bit taller and the departure and approach angles will be quite better thanks to a new bumper design.
History about Hilux model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Hilux
Have you seen the debute of newly designed brand spankin new tacoma ? That makes this entire article a bunch of bullshit
Will there be a V8 model available in SA
should i buy the ford ranger or wait for the 2016 hi lux
I’m thinking the same.
In the market to buy a new pick up and waiting to see what toyota will bring out.
By the looks of it, and toyota not saying a thing, I’m leaning towards a ranger.
I recomend you the new BT 50- 3.2 200 HP, ive a 2015, perfect and got lots of lots of extras
Buy a Ranger helix is ugly and gutless as for why drop the 3 litre motor ? It’s gutless hungry on diesel and noisey with lots of injection issues, that motor was a dog. Toyota have been trading on past history but now lag behind.
What will the different enjine sizes be? What will the torque and kilowatts be of different enjines of the new Toyota hilux 2016.
What enjine sizes and kilowatts will the different enjines of the new Toyota hilux 2016 come with?
Is a auto super or extra cab diesel coming to Australia
Umm I’m a tad concerned. I’m on my second 3L diesel Hilux now. Never had a problem. Off road or on road. Nothing phases it. As for more powerful smaller more fuel efficient diesel engines, I have to chuckle. Essentially you thashing the engine to get more torque at HIGHER revs. My current Hilux hits maximum torque at around 1500rpm, barely idling. That’s why so called more powerful utes are left for dead by the current Hilux. Engine thrashing to achieve the same or higher torque means MORE fuel and more engine stress. The moral of the story. Numbers don’t tell the whole story. As for basing it on a US car. Well done Toyota. Now I will never buy one. Longer and wider? Has anyone at Toyota been off road. Longer and wider is bad not good. Finally it looks like a combo between an old Kluger and a Mazda BT. Not exactly “manly”. Better look after my current one.
You obviously are blinded by that Toyota badge. My 2yr old Amarok bi turbo leaves the 3l holiday for dead in power and economy. Can tow more, and go much, much further in a single tank. I have never had an issue and the longer I own it, the more I love it. More room inside and a bigger tray. Hell, even the Ranger craps all over hilux. This new model is a woefully ugly design rushed in as VW and Ford sent Toyota back to the drawing board as they realised the new model they were working on wouldn’t cut the mustard. Still doesn’t imho.
I have had 17 hiluxs, I have had the vw, ford ranger, Nissan , none have lasted like the hilux, we broke the Amarock in less than 8 months, constantly got stuck!! Never seen any other make get to the North Pole , you sound like a road user and no nothing about mechanics, Toyotas have nothing more to prove!!!
Dave, you should be shot with sh%t! Your VW will die in a few months and the Rangers are the same VW Russian Roulette with 6 chambers loaded. Numbers aren’t everything and Toyota’s reliability will always prove the other manufacturers don’t know what they are doing.
Nice Amaroks im from europe and i love amaroks merc etc etc but will they outlast the toyota? Ive been there once german staff gets fucked and thats it no mechanic will ever fixed for you weres the toyota apart from servicing on time shellbe runing like baby even when it gets to 300000 klms let me know when you amarok gets to this klms and thats why i have toyotas in my driveway i no longer see the fucked mecanics all im doing is just enhancing there perfomance nothing else TOYOTA 4EVER
Listen people I’ve run a smash repair business for years, I can tell you all that German cars are amazingly engineered they are very well designed cars across the board. But, they are designed to keep the dealers and spare parts flowing . They are specifically designed for you not to touch their cars. And after 100000 klms the car will begin to cost you money and lots of it . So that means that the cars resale value will be Lowsy. Toyota however is designed for the longhaul
Let’s wait for the new comer and see.At the moment here in SA, ranger leads in sale but the margins are very small.Toyota will trumph as always only because its a workhorse not really a good looker. I m waiting for the 3l diesel and I know its a lot of us I tell you.
I agree with Ben. If I wanted a girly car, I would’ve bought a Sportage.
I love that the Hilux is still rugged.
Cancelling my order for the Hilux 2016 model.
Never had a pick up truck, but thinking about it. I’m considering the current hilux but it seems there are more features in this 2016 (some already offered by ranger/navara). But longer and wider? This probably gonna be an issue for me since most roads here are pretty narrow and on the off chance of driving it in big city during rush hour.. driving it and finding parking space gonna be a problem.
When will this new bakie be available in Namibia send me more videos of the interior
Will the great 4.0 liter v6 be in the new model.
I thought it look very much like a Great Wall come out of same factory I think.
Bought a new 4x2HiLux SR5 EtraCab in 1984, after 20 years trouble free driving around Australia I traded it on a new 4×2 Dual Cab petrol pick up which again has given me trouble free driving. I retire soon and intend to buy one of the new diesel HiLuxs’ and I expect that it will be the last vehicle I ever need to buy. I have also been getting paid to drive Toyota Landcruisers for the past 30 odd years and they have always been ultra reliable. I’m a dyed in the wool Toyota man.
Its Toyota with me all the way. Bring it on.!!!
I know what you are saying about the looks of the new hilux,but I have had 3 of them from new dating back to 2003 .
And I can honestly say I’ve never had a problem with any of them ,but what I have found to be shit is the trade in price at the main dealers.
less than half of its original price in 26 months with only 21000 miles on the clock that rubbish Toyota.
I must want it all reliable pick up and good trade in value.
I never thought I would say this but what about the new Mitsubishi l200 ,they look good but not sure how reliable they will be
alot of talk about hilux being better than the amarok,I’ve had them all and stuck with my auto Amarok ,mind you if I ever get short of money probably would buy a hilux,but don’t know if I could run that thirsty 3.0 litre, with 5gears its 2015 ,i wouldn’t be surprised if there 2016 model came without power steering and elec windows there’s hardcore hilux nuts who would still buy them,
Very Great Article! Your article very useful for me, when I read so interest and I will be follow your. please visit my web
Hi …
Would you give me price of hilux Toyota 2016 model full option.
Thank you
Why is toyota taking out the legendary 3.0 D-4D?!
i am very disappointed! And the 3.0 made it through the north pole and is the only car to do that
Why is toyota taking out the legendary 3.0 D-4D?!
Got 1996 hilux Japanese import. It’s built like a challenger tank. Having owned all the others Toyota are by far the best. Any one who uses a 4×4 off road will say the same reliability is number one factor
nice article
I also want to know when exactly is it going to be released in SA? I can’t wait eighter. Unlike G*****n cars that wont refrain from spending more time in workshops than they do at home. With me its Hilux all the way… I have to make friends with sales so that I can get to own 1 of 1st batch
Nothing beats the Hilux . My construction work vehicle is a 2009 Hilux DC with over 500 000 km on the clock. My private vehicle is a 2014 Hilux DC and I am really happy with it. I bought this after trading in my 2006 DC Hilux. Still managing to get R180 K for it. This is over a year ago.
If you intend to drive town….then any brand which suits you in a 4×2 is sufficient. ..no arguments. If you want to actually do some serious 4x4ing, Hilux is King Kong especially when one does 50 and 100 thousand kilometer comparisons anything other than hilux is rattling and hurting inside and out.The accesories on the Ford wildtrak and raptor are all to look beef but are absolutely useless on track.No good to act and look strong but can’t take a crack.
If you buy with the intent on proper 4x4ing,add approx. 100k to your budget for proper 4×4 extras plus proper off riad tyres otherwise all the showroom useless aesthetics will snap and buckle on your first level 3.course regardless which brand gives you a hard on and your sweetheart will think you are a real doos coming home with the back bumper and fender in the loading bin.The real question is Hilux as a huge risk theft and hijack wise and this will follow suit on the ranger and Amarok as they gain popularity….A forum needs to get started amoungst the “tough vehicle” segment and criminals heads must begin to roll…..I think here is an untouched avenue which requires serious team work from all enthusiasts. The cars generally are built to safe guard us whilst driving but the situation does nothing to safe guard our depreciating assets or our lives when stolen or hijacked
The other thing is that many hilux drivers on this discussion have 2,3 and more vehicles behind them and combined,Hilux drivers have got millions of kilometres under the hood and still going strong…The ranger and Amarok enthusiasts combined have very little but entry level pride to go on.Where are these others in the Dakar?…nowhere because they will perform so poorly and that will do nothing for sales.
As I have said all capable vehicles but King Kong “hilux will now go on to sell about 3000 vehicles per month as usual whilst the others dream and continue justifying there purchases Its great that there are more brands on the market,It just makes the leader better at every new launch ?????
Dear Sir,
Do you have Toyota Hilux 2016 4×4? Also do you have 2016 Mitsubishi L200 ?
We want to purchase many pieces for Middle East.
Please reply asap.
Who else thinks this shape made you change your mind…
everyone listen to me. I was always a ranger fan until I drove a 2016 hilux in the Philippines. it makes the ranger look like a giant toy. its much more lighter and the 4×4 is un matchable. looks way better than ranger with those DRL LEDs and much better interior. besides money talks and this is real value for money
Hi Everybody,
Coming to my sell by date so have decided to replace my ten year old Hilux HL3 with
163k miles on the clock.It runs great and have spent £1k on parts .Will be sorry to see it go but while I still have my small company it does make economical sense to buy what I am sure will be my last vehicle.I am lucky to have a 1964 Big Healey which I have play time but due to mixed health anyone out there with taste and £100k give me mail.
Best wishes to all you petrol heads.
The Acorn Antique!
