Excellent work guys. Finally we get to see how the vehicle with the 48v system compares to a vehicle without the 48V system in terms of acceleration and economy.
FYI - GR Sport Hilux is not available with the V-Active 48V. It's optional on SR, standard on SR5 and Rogue and not available on GR Sport, presumably because of the tweaked engine in that model.
Absolute joke. Mild hybrids are a 30 year old tech, and largely a waste of time. They should have a plug in hybrid that gives you 70 km battery range - and a VTL capability to run tools off. Toyota sucks
My Povo Pack Hilux workmate dual cab 2.7 petrol auto was the cheapest one in class I could buy new. Ideal for my acreage property. I would like one of these to be honest.
@@hi9580 they are actual trucks, not like this which is a ute meant to be competing with the ford ranger. With the trucks, there isnt a single truck with a nice interior, therefore having no benchmark. The Hilux has a benchmark
Halogen light? Still an old tech fashion cluster? And an old looking small infortainment still? 2024......$55K? Am i paying for titanium made? or just normal metal? But yeah the exterior look is decent and i love the color..... but...why bother upgrade then if it not much compared to the previous Hilux spec?
I work with Toyota in sales and I have an order for the Alpha. While its in warranty then why not, but you get 20,000 times more features, comfort, power etc etc etc....... for less money then the SR. No brainer while warranty is there incase something goes wrong.
In Europe Toyota Europe have a big problem with certification of 2.8 engine and we still dont have models Hilux Gr sport 2 and dont have Hilux 48v mild hybrid.Our neighbour Ukrainian have gr sport 2 until september 2023r. This is fault of ***** European Union. Now september 2024 we cant buy any new Hilux😢
Bro , Anmol jaisawal ( indian backpacker ) is in Australia now he will be travelling with scorpion n , you can take a review from him about the car , it will help your channel grow more.
I keep thinking Toyota mustn't be able to sell their oil shares, with how much they're dragging their feet about just making EVs of their models. Which is disappointing. I love my Camry hybrid, but I'd be over the moon to have a Camry-E. As it is, my next car is going to be a Hyundai or BYD EV, which breaks my heart, because I've always bought Camrys before. I do appreciate it having halogen lights. No more being blinded by people's lowbeam LEDs
How do they get away with doing the bare necessities for the interior and changing 1° on the face of the vehicle and still charging more than most other utes?
Other than the US wait for the BYD Shark with its DM 5-0 tech it will run rings around the Toy . Sorry yanks your government kills it for you . Thank you GM & Ford for pulling out of manufacturing here in Australia now we get good Chinese manufactured cars .
Thanks for the jolly friar style review - stop start is not for those emergency situations- at last Toyota has been dragged kicky and screaming to add a damped tailgate with gas struts- come on Toyota look after us and not your shareholders.
'The Duel Cab Ute' .. The greatest Con Job on the motoring public by manufacturers .. 50 , 60 , 70, 80 + K .. for a ute ,, lol .. but hang on , it has buttons and extra cup holders and an air vent with a USB charger next to the map pocket with an auto cooling grab handle .. blah blah ..
Whats with that urgency of modern garbage?? Reliability comes with a cost, in this case the cost is a dated truck, but this truck can last many many years more than a more modern truck!!
@@ricardobrown4878 yeah totally Why did Toyota come up with a half arsed Hilux by slapping a tiny electric motor that barely does anything significant just so that they can label it a hybrid screams out desperation.
Still looks like a Hilux, no changes in dash or interior... all still cheap plastic and no proper sound deadening. No proper underscarpet or sound/ vibration deading, no proper sound dampening in the doors or roof lining. Still has the boring display on the instrumentation panel and radio. Still has the boring plastic center console. The entire vehicle is just a plain Hilux with a few minor cosmetic changes that ain't even worth the words. The only 'extra' is the 48V electric motor. Not worth writing home about or even purchasing it.
you buy a ute knowing the compromise you're making. If you complain about the 'lack' of sound deadening a mum bus would probably be a better option for someone like yourself
Can't wait till they give this thing the tech update it needs, once the time comes it'll probably also come with a full hybrid package (maybe a bit after the new Prado?)
update, yup. Start with getting rid of the outdated leafspring suspension and drum brakes. Hyvrid? Maybe. Options won't hurt, I guess. INLINE-6 3-Liter turbo diesel will spice it up a little bit. Something like B57.
I am suspecting that Toyota's dominance here will cutting short in the next few years, unless our masters in the US are forcing us to also putting up tariff. The cars that are coming out of China in the next few years will make any Toyotas look like old tractors.
@@ricardobrown4878 yes but will the Chinese have the reliability and part support that Toyota does? I wish the Chinese exclusively made interiors for the Japanese car makers, they seem to have got that right.
Excellent work guys. Finally we get to see how the vehicle with the 48v system compares to a vehicle without the 48V system in terms of acceleration and economy.
But the reliability?? And service cost ?? I hope the drive belt service is easy as non 48V SYSTEM
This is better than cybertruck.
🤣
You wish 😂
Of course. Not sure if there is a truck anywhere that is worse than a cybertruck. I think it's known as the wankpanzer .
Cybertrucks are for attention seeking influencers
Cybertruck WHO ??

I wish it had LED Lights both front and rear.
It doesn't even have rear air vents... good luck!
i think the higher trims have LEDs.
If you can't manage the tailgate why the heck are you driving a pickup ?

I wish Toyota returns those tie-down hooks for the Philippines version of the Hilux. I find that feature really, really useful.
Stop start diesels especially with egr and dpf is really bad for the engine and reliability
Wow, that interior looks like its from a 15 year old car...crazy people would pay 55K for this.
My thoughts exactly the interior hasn’t changed in 15 years 😮 it’s just the same car and they change the grill every couple years rip off
More than $55K closer to $60K
wow what a turd…. it really hasn’t aged well.
Hino 300, Isuzu NPS, Fuso Canter interior is worse and those are $100k+

👍 nice, smart upgrade
It’s a bonus this update is also faster while being more fuel efficient.
Wonder what your opinion would be like if the Fortuner gets the same 48V treatment as the Hilux (such model exists in South Africa).
Neat approach to use electricity to save fuel with no outlet required. Sure would be nice to be able to buy one in the USA.
Ill drive my old shitbox until the government kicks me out of it for emission reasons. Because car companies need MORE money
Give it a test off-road...and please use the same sr model
In terms of interior, I prefer the vinyl steering wheel and hard plastic centre console lid.
After owning soft, they wear out fast.
I loved driving the Hilux while I was overseas. It’s too bad that we do not have it here in the US.
Hardly a hybrid. It’s a bolted in started motor lol

None of the electric power goes to the wheels, it’s all to run engine accessories. Also the SR isn’t the base model.
I was going to get one of these but I'm seriously thinking about getting the Cannon Alpha now.

I'm pretty sure my mum's 2014 corolla has the same centre screen on the dashboard.
No it doesn’t. This one is slightly bigger.. ;) haha
Toyota urgently needs to refresh this interior because durability must not be used to exempt interior quality and aura
Looks pretty new......for 2015
Oh just shut up you hater
Isn’t it bad for a diesel engine to turn on and off?
Ram has had this technology for 5 years in its v8etorque
And?
Looks ten years lazy compared to other brands
does sand mode mean high gear ratios + difflock? i'm guessing not
I’m guessing this same engine will be coming in Fortuner & Prado soon.
Ukraine police and military are using Hilux supplied by the US makes me question why not send their mighty Ford F150 or Ram ey?
Sooo frustrating because we don’t get the HILUX in the US. Only the Tacoma (petrol V6) for about $55k USD.

Why would you buy a base model ute or a sr5 and not get a steel/alloy tray? That's just doing it wrong.

Gr sport active review why isn't it done yet
No V-Active system available on the GR Sport. SR (opt) SR-5 and Rogue only.
Piss weak hybrid system- Toyota hates electric. They could have easily put in bigger battery and more powerful electric motor but no
Yes please for cross country.❤

Toyota has the coolest cupholders.
Why does it look outdated
If it looks like it, it probably is it.
Because like you, most people who get utes are yuppies who want a car but need to compensate with a bigger vehicle
@@Thisguysfromhere And what do people like you do?
@@CarSauce Yeah, it looks looks worse and older than previous models. Interior is pathetic as well

Can the MTS works when rear differential lock engaged?
New model based on Tacoma due when?
IM SHOCKED ITS A 2.8 D-4D , as opposed to the newer technology the have, which is the gd-6
It’s a gd motor they just kept the d4d name in Australia.

Pretty sure both the Hilux and Ranger are built in Thailand for our market.

still using halogen? pass. its 2024, stop using halogen
This is the base model, all others come with led lights
Anything is better than made in China. But this sounds pretty good and I'd have it any day over a Ford.
Take a good look at the BYD Shark. Toyota missed an opportunity to compete.
Seems a bit meh 🫤 like a Ford puma 😂 like they didn’t really try
It's all pointless

Why not just make it a true hybrid?
Could have made strong hybrid
Infotainment display and instrument cluster look like junk lmao
Halogen headlights 🤦🏽
Does the battery drive the car. NO. NOT a Hybrid!
This bloke cursing this Ute without LED lights.....
So break those halogens doesn't cost significantly higher than LED modules.....
Scratchy materials but it lasts forever
Interior still prehistoric... I`ll pass
🔥🔥🔥
Why did you review a base spec? :S
Mild h.. h…. Haaacheewww. Sorry what? It’s hybrid?
I used to think the hilux was amazing. The 4th gen Tacoma is far superior.
What’s an upgrade 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
oh god...
Too many words for so little info
How are people still buying these P O S??? They're charging so much coin for such a crap product, but people still line up and lap it up.
Too much screaming 😱

Well done sir.
Mild hybrid 😂😂😂
And maybe know what hybrid means in this case before leaving a coment !
That interior is outclassed by cars 1/3 it's price. What a piece of 💩
This is a load of crap only ment for toyota die-hards
Same old interior cmon toyota no good
Talks shit too much to take seriously
TT🇹🇹 going to sell this for 1 million TTD(= 160KUSD) when it gets here. We love to over price everything thats is being imported. 🥱😬🤷♂️🤷♂️
