It seems Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has quietly updated the Toyota Hilux, the update includes more features and specs.
Toyota Hilux Updates
Only some of the variants are going to receive updates, the J and E variants for example will remain unchanged. However, the G now has a tailgate assist and Bedliner will come as standard. Next up is the Conquest, both the 4×2 and 4×4 variants now come with Toyota Safety Sense, giving features such as autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control (for AT variants), and lane departure alert. Meanwhile, the top-of-the-line Hilux GR Sport adds blind spot indicators with rear cross-traffic alert.
Of course, these updates come with a corresponding price increase, starting from PHP 18,000-PHP 49,000. It must also be pointed out that this price increase is not in response to the recent Congress resolution removing the excise tax exemption for pickups.
Here are the new prices for the Toyota Hilux Lineup:
- 4×2 G MT – PHP 1,285,000
- 4×2 G AT – PHP 1,361,000
- Conquest 4×2 MT – PHP 1,468,000
