James Wong
Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- It's a more family-friendly HiLux with a boot
- Tried and tested underpinnings
- Reasonably priced for a flagship
Misses
- Interior packaging is off the pace
- Heavy controls are truck-like in town
- Really feeling its age in tech terms
