Toyota has taken the covers off the Hilux pick-up truck that is headed for India. Prices for the model, which will be available in two trims — Low and High — will be announced in March. The automaker has officially started bookings for the Hilux, with the amount pegged at a lakh. The Hilux will be assembled from SKD (semi-kicked down) kits at Toyota’s plant in Karnataka.
The pick-up will be sold in India in only a double-cab body style. It measures 5,325mm in length, 1,855mm in width, 1,815mm in height and has a wheelbase of 3,085mm. It is also a tad longer than its only other rival in India — the Isuzu D-max V-Cross. Toyota has picked 18-inch alloy wheels for the Hilux, similar to the Fortuner.
