The Hilux is a genuinely competent lifestyle pickup with impressive torque (500 Nm), robust off-road credentials (low-range transfer case, e-Diff Lock) and a rarity for its class: 7 airbags as standard. However, at ₹28.52 lakh-plus, it's priced aggressively against the Isuzu V-Cross, lacks modern safety tech like ADAS, retains drum brakes, and offers limited powertrain variety. It's built for buyers who value Toyota reliability and authentic 4WD capability over cutting-edge features.

Stands out

  • 501 Nm torque with strong 201 bhp—genuine pulling power for lifestyle and work duties
  • Standard low-range transfer case, e-Diff Lock, and ALSD across all 4WD trims for serious off-roading
  • 7 airbags standard even on base MT variant—unusually protective for a pickup truck
  • Double Wishbone front suspension with composed ride-handling balance despite 1-tonne payload capacity
  • Premium cabin features on High trims: leather, dual-zone climate, cooled glovebox, connected services

!Gives us pause

  • Rear drum brakes on all variants seem dated for the ₹28.52L+ asking price
  • Zero ADAS features including Toyota Safety Sense—rivals and segments are moving ahead
  • Diesel-only engine choice limits appeal to buyers wanting petrol, CNG or hybrid options
  • Base STD MT sacrifices LED lights, alloys, chrome trim and connected features—feels basic
  • Positioning above Isuzu V-Cross on price while lacking some creature comforts creates value tension
