2015 Toyota HiLux revealed | video - Cars Guide
The first all-new Toyota HiLux ute in 10 years just got a whole lot tougher -- even though it is loaded with luxury technology and was designed by the same person who developed one of the world’s smallest cars. The chief engineer for the new HiLux, unveiled globally Thursday afternoon ahead of its showroom arrival in October, also created Toyota's tiny European city car, the iQ, which is about the same size as a Smart. As a sign of our changing taste in cars, Toyota has also made the landmark decision to fit a rear-view camera on every model in the new HiLux range, from the cheapest to the dearest, starting from about $21,000 and stretching to an estimated... The standard fitment of rear cameras is expected to be welcomed by safety advocates given that SUVs and utes are involved for 70 per cent of driveway deaths even though they only account for 30 per cent of cars on the road. The other big news for ute fans is that the new HiLux will be able tow literally a tonne more than before, with capacity increased to 3500kg to match the Ford Ranger and Holden Colorado pick-ups.
