Toyota launches eighth generation Hilux in Qatar - Gulf Times

Toyota, in association with its local distributor Abdullah Abdulghani & Bros Co. (AAB), has launched the all new eighth generation Hilux pickup in Qatar. The new Hilux, while improving on the model’s characteristic toughness and performance, redefines toughness by being more occupant-focused and providing a stress-free driving experience. According to Hiroki Nakajima, Executive Chief engineer behind the Hilux (and also a Managing Officer of Toyota Motor Corporation): “Our entire development concept was centred on ‘redefining toughness’. We aimed to make the new Hilux ‘tougher’ based on a much broader interpretation of that word. Setting a new benchmark for the pickup category, the new Hilux has features that provide SUV like comfort for a smooth ride. The eighth-generation Hilux provides ride comfort that make long, tough drives less gruelling, a quiet cabin that allows communication in any conditions, and enhanced cruising range thanks to improved fuel efficiency. Hilux is offered in the Middle East in single cab and double cab configurations, in both 2WD and 4WD. The 2016 Hilux is not only a tough vehicle, but an advanced pickup with stylish cues hitherto found only on SUVs. Source: www.gulf-times.com
