Interior
The updated infotainment system is relatively simple to use on the move, and responds quickly enough to inputs. It’s not what you’d call standout, but the addition of smartphone mirroring is a big development. Points to Toyota for fitting hard shortcut buttons and a proper volume knob, too.
The driver and passenger sit in comfortable, well-padded pews trimmed in hardy-feeling cloth, and although the dashboard and transmission tunnel are finished in hard black plastic, both feel as though they’ll survive the test of time.
The coarse steering wheel trim doesn’t really feel worthy of a $60,000 dual-cab ute, and the basic cabin design is starting to age in the face of newer competition.
As for the fundamentals, driving position is good for taller drivers and Toyota has a good grasp on ergonomics. Need to press something often? Chances are it’s within easy reach, which makes the learning curve more of a molehill than a mountain.
There’s also an abundance of storage with a phone-sized slot under the dashboard, twin cupholders, a large storage bin under the armrest, a two-tier glovebox, and spacious door pockets.
Rear passengers are treated to perfectly acceptable amounts of legroom and headroom, and there are air vents for hot summer days. Keep an eye out if you’re tall though, the fixed grab handles pose a constant threat to your head.
Exterior
On the outside in Workmate and SR trims you receive budget-oriented steel wheels, automatic halogen headlights and daytime running lights.
Stepping up to the SR5 brings more paint colours, 18-inch alloy wheels and 265mm tyres, chrome trim around the grille, auto-levelling LED headlights and front fog lights.
There's also side steps and power-folding mirrors, but the cab chassis misses out on parking sensors and a reversing camera.
The Rogue adds black exterior trim, decals, and a resin sports bar.
The off-road oriented Rugged X adds a hoopless bull bar, bash plate, LED light bar, snorkel, front and rear recovery points, heavy-duty rock rails, heavy-duty front springs and a black sports bar with tie-down points.

Cost of Ownership
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.
How it Drives
The new 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine starts with the same distinctive clatter as before, and behaves very similarly to the pre-update engine most of the time. But there’s definitely more mid-range punch in the 2021 update, and highway overtakes are dispatched faster than in the pre-facelift car.
The old HiLux could feel a bit strained at times, the new model rarely does.
Toyota’s six-speed automatic transmission might have as many options as the 10-speeder in the Ford Ranger and its bi-turbo engine, but it makes up for it by being decisive and intelligent on the move.
It’s happy to hold a taller gear and lean on the muscled-up mid-range on lighter throttle inputs, and kicks down smartly when more performance is required. There’s also a sequential-style manual shift option for control freaks, but it’s best left to its own devices for the most part.
Along with the updated engine, the HiLux has been treated to a number of locally-developed updates to the suspension in search of a smoother around-town ride.
Changes include longer leaf springs spaced further apart, new spring, damper and bushing rates, and new cabin mounts.
Less noticeable are the changes made to the steering, which is still relatively heavy and slow at low speed. There’s a bit of arm twirling required when you’re parking, especially compared to the SUV-like setup in the Isuzu D-Max and Mazda BT-50.
HiLux Safety Rating
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.
HiLux Lifecycle
The current eighth-generation Toyota HiLux has been on sale since 2015 and received a facelift in 2020.
This facelift brought redesigned front and rear fascias with reworked headlight and tail light running signatures.
It also boosted the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder with the automatic transmission to offer 150kW and 500Nm - up 20kW and 50Nm on its forebears.
In order to achieve these higher power and torque outputs, Toyota included a new engine block, gaskets, exhaust manifold, a larger ball-bearing turbocharger and a higher-pressure common-rail injection system.
A 2022 update Toyota Connected Services across the HiLux range, which automatically calls emergency services after an accident, or allows owners to track their car if it's stolen.
HiLux Options
Premium paint costs $600.
The SR+ option package ($2000) available only on the SR trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels and satellite navigation.
The SR5+ package ($2500) available only on the SR5 trim adds a power driver’s seat, heated front seats and leather-accented upholstery.
HiLux Warranty
TOYOTA suggested that owners service their 2022 TOYOTA HILUX every 6 months or 10,000km, whichever comes first.
The 2022 TOYOTA HILUX had a 5 year, unlimited km warranty.
HiLux Stock Availability
Toyota is still facing extensive delays on its HiLux, among many of its other models, due to global demand exceeding supply.
The automaker is indicating that delivery will take longer than usual.
The HiLux is produced in Thailand and built alongside the related Fortuner at the company's Samrong plant.
HiLux Boot Space
The dual-cab HiLux has a tub that measures 1570mm long, 1645mm wide, and 481mm tall. There's 1109mm between the two rear wheel arches.
HiLux 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.

Should you buy the HiLux
Although it’s faced with tough competition from Ford, Isuzu, Mazda, and Mitsubishi, it’s easy to see why the HiLux is still a winner.
It feels quite old in some ways, but it's still solid to drive and has the backing of a massive dealer network. It also has a huge range of body styles on offer, allowing you to tailor your HiLux to the intended use easily.
Competitor Analysis
The Toyota HiLux's most direct rival is the Ford Ranger which most recently was unveiled in new-generation form.
The HiLux also competes against the recently updated the Isuzu D-Max and Mazda BT-50 siblings.
Compared to all of its rivals, the HiLux is getting a little long in the tooth.
In saying this though, the HiLux still provides that Toyota-tough reliability and reputation, as well as high resale value.
