2020 Toyota Hilux for sale – Brand New 204hp pickup

2020 Toyota Hilux for sale has revealed full pricing details of its new Hilux pickup, which is on sale now. With a bold new design, a revised chassis for improved comfort, and a new 2.8-liter engine for top-spec models, the 2020 Toyota Hilux gets an instant performance boost to compete with the most powerful rivals. We’ve added further technical info to this story, outlining the changes more thoroughly.

Boasting 204hp, 500Nm of torque, and improved on- and off-road driving behavior, Toyota makes a great truck for working and lifestyle buyers. Please keep reading for all the official info we have so far and to view the latest pictures.

Is the Toyota Hilux 2020 all-new?

Toyota is referring to it as the ‘new Hilux,’ but this is a ‘renewal’ of the existing model, which first went on sale in the UK in 2016. So the entire chassis and body structure remain the same. Which means it retains the strong ladder frame chassis design.

However, as you can see from the pictures, the panels that clothe that body have been given a really good going over, creating what, to our eyes, looks like a very handsome and muscular pickup. Most images here are of the range-topping Invincible X model, but even the very entry-level Active grade also gets a new look.

Specific visual changes worth checking include the more ‘three-dimensional’ (…!) front grille and bumper design. There are also LED front and rear lights, depending on the trim level, and new 18-inch alloy wheels with a contrast finish. The funky new shade of paint pictured here is called Toyota Hilux 2021.

The Invincible X benefits from several specific body modifications to make it look even more demanding. We’ll come back to this below.

The real crowd-pleaser will surely be the new 204hp 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine labeled the 2.8D, which is over a third more powerful than the 150hp 2.4-liter motor (labeled 2.4D). That 500Nm torque figure is also a 25% increase over the 400Nm the existing engine musters. The 2.4D will continue in lower-spec models.

The big 2.8D is likely to dramatically improve the driving experience, especially in combination with a new electronic control system that functions like an active limited–slip differential at the rear.

This is fitted from the Icon grade upwards and helps improve traction when driving in rear-wheel drive mode (H2) by directing torque to the wheel with grip while automatically braking the other wheel to stop it from spinning. It’s activated by a single press of the VSC Off button for the electronic stability control.

Active Traction Control (A-TRC) also works in low-ratio four-wheel drive mode (L4) for trickier off-road situations. This meshes with the active differential and the combination is said to be ‘more efficient than mechanical alternatives.’
