Xtra Features for Toyota Hilux

By Joseph Mashele

The Toyota Hilux continues to be the most popular car in South Africa, frequently dominating both the overall and light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales lists. There is a Hilux to fit everyone's needs, available in four body-shape configurations: single, xtra, chassis, and double-cab.

Being receptive to consumer needs and creating products that appeal to a variety of target customers is essential for success in the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) market. To meet the constantly changing needs of its customers, Toyota South Africa has implemented some significant adjustments to the Hilux product line-up.

Xtra Cab

The most noteworthy adjustment is made to the Xtra Cab, where Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) 2.0 is now part of the Legend grade. Pre-Collision System (PCS), High-Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Lane Departure Warning are all included in this active safety system (LDA). Adjusting TSS operation is possible using special steering switches or the Multi-Information Display (MID). The external mirrors now include a welcome light feature as part of the spec upgrade (as with Double-cab Legend models).

Legend Grade Alignment - Double Cab

All double-cab Legend vehicles now have the same level of specification as part of a second wave of grade alignment (including 4x2 variants which previously omitted the JBL audio). Hence, the Legend grade provides leather interior; power-adjustable driver seat, Toyota Safety Sense (Pre-crash system, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control); JBL 9-speaker luxury audio system; Climate control for two zones and Smart Entry System.

Raised Body Auto Models

The Raider and Legend Raised Body Auto transmission models now have an Automatic Transmission Temperature warning, which easily alerts the driver when the AT is operating when hauling large loads or navigating hilly terrain.

Colour choices

The current colour scheme is still available, giving customers a choice of seven colours for single cabs. Xtra and double cab models can also be ordered in Platinum White, with Attitude Black designated for use with double cabs. Also, clients are urged to query about Sand Beige units at their local Toyota dealer (available across all three body shapes in limited production numbers).
