AutoExec Summary
The Toyota HiLux with V-Active Technology is a significant update for the top-selling car in Australia. This Thai-built dual-cab ute now offers electrification for the first time, featuring a 48V mild-hybrid system to enhance performance and reduce emissions. Fuel consumption is claimed to be up to 9.5% better with the new powertrain. The HiLux also receives minor styling updates and added standard equipment. While the mild-hybrid system improves urban fuel efficiency, the HiLux still retains its rugged and utilitarian nature, with some drawbacks like a rough ride and outdated interior technology.
