There have been some unique cars among the long list of EVs and traditional vehicle announcements at the Auto Expo. Toyota has now joined this list with the unveiling of the Hilux off-roading vehicle, even as the company shuffles to readjust its EV plans.
Toyota says the Hilux has a lift kit installed by default and a wide range of visually appealing additions, such as auxiliary LED lighting, a roof rack, and a winch, to name a few. But as of right now, this off-road Hilux’s suspension and steering setup are non-functional. Indian consumers can currently pick up the standard Hilux pickup truck in a 2.8L diesel engine configuration, with the ability to generate 201 BHP and 500 Nm.
