2022 Toyota HiLux price and specs

The Toyota HiLux has been given a technology update for 2022.

Toyota Connected Services has been added to the range, which automatically calls emergency services after an accident, or allows owners to track their car if it’s stolen.

Toyota has subbed the tall antenna on the roof of the HiLux for a lower-profile unit that should be friendlier in low carparks.

The SR5 has been given a dual-zone climate control system, while the Rogue has been treated to a surround-view camera.

Australia’s best-selling car was given a significant update in 2020.

In addition to its more powerful 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, the HiLux packs retuned spring rates, shock absorbers and suspension bushes as well as revised cabin mounts.

Inside, there’s an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as control knobs and enhanced voice recognition.

The dials in the instrument cluster have a new look and the 4.2-inch display between them now contains a digital speedometer.

Engines

The most powerful engine in the 2022 Toyota HiLux range is a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel, which has 150kW of power (at 3400rpm) and 500Nm of torque (at 1600-2800rpm) when fitted with a six-speed automatic. Manual models develop 420Nm (at 1400-3400rpm).

Lower grades offer a 110kW/400Nm 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel, while the entry-level versions are fitted as standard with a 122kW/245Nm 2.7-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.

The smaller diesel makes peak power and torque at 3400rpm and 1600-2000rpm respectively, while the petrol does the same at 5200rpm and 4000rpm respectively.

Both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations are available throughout the line-up (see price list above), with manual and automatic transmissions offered for all powertrains.

Petrol models are fitted as standard with a five-speed manual transmission as standard while the diesels are mated to a six-speeder. A six-speed automatic is optional or standard depending on variant.

Fuel Economy

The 2.8-litre diesel uses between 7.1L/100km and 8.1L/100km depending on variant.

Meanwhile, the 2.4-litre turbo-diesel is rated at between 7.4L/100km and 8.0L/100km depending on variant.

Finally, the petrol four uses between 7.1L/100km and 8.0L/100km.

The variations in fuel economy are based on body style, drivetrain (4×2 or 4×4) and transmission, for reference.

Dimensions

The HiLux’s measurements are dependent on which variant you choose.

Pick-ups are 5325mm long (except the Workmate Double Cab at 5330mm) and 1855mm wide (except the Single Cab and Workmate 4×2 Double Cab at 1800mm).

All variants have a 3085mm wheelbase, with ground clearance rated at 216mm for all variants bar 4×2 models with the base petrol engine (174mm).

Braked towing capacity is 2500kg for petrol models, 2800kg for 2WD diesels, and 3500kg for all 4×4 models.

Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) again depends on variant, rated between 2700kg and 3100kg.

For off-road buffs, approach angle is 29 degrees for all models bar base 4×2 petrol models (23 degrees), while departure angle is between 20 and 27 degrees.

Wading depth is rated at 700mm, and the fuel tank is 80 litres.

Warranty and Servicing

The Toyota HiLux is covered by Toyota’s five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty which covers any Toyota-produced part, panel and accessory.

Engine and driveline warranty can be extended by another two years provided the vehicle is serviced according to schedule, along with seven years of emergency assistance.

Service pricing is capped between $220 and $250 per visit for the first four visits, covering two years or 40,000km.

Maintenance is still required every six months or 10,000km, which is notably shorter than the usual 12 month/15,000km intervals offered by most rivals.

Safety

All versions of the HiLux get a suite of Toyota Safety Sense technologies as standard, including AEB with pedestrian (day/night) and cyclist (day) detection, high-speed adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning with steering assist via brakes. Road sign assist is also included.

SR5 4×4 models as well as auto-equipped SR 4×4 double cabs (including cab-chassis) feature hill descent control, while SR5 double- and extra-cab pick-ups now get front and rear parking sensors as standard.

4×2 Hi-Rider and 4×4 models feature 319mm front ventilated brake discs with opposed-piston calipers and 295mm self-adjusting rear drums with leading and trailing shoes.

Other 4×2 HiLux models get 296mm front ventilated discs with floating calipers and 254mm rear drums.

The eighth-generation Toyota HiLux wears a five-star ANCAP rating for vehicles sold from July 2019 onwards, scoring 96 per cent for adult occupant protection, 87 per cent for child occupants, 88 per cent for vulnerable road users and 78 per cent for safety assist.

ANCAP’s rating applies to all variants. Read more here.
