  • Review: Trinity of carbon neutral options preview the next generation Toyota Hilux's menu; HEV, BEV, FCEV

    If you want to see how polarized our world is, just mention these two words on the Internet – EVs and Toyota. Two opposing camps will march forward, ready to defend their faith. In one corner of the debate, you have the EV zealots. Theirs is a 'You are either with us or against us' message. They believe that hybrids are merely a tactic used by Toyota to delay a 100% transition to EVs. Make a down payment for an EV, plug it in to charge, and you are golden. At the other corner is the anti-EV resi

    Next year, selected markets in Southeast Asia will launch a new hybrid variant of the 2024 Toyota Hilux. Unlike the electrified Hilux that was announced for Europe earlier this month, our region’s Hilux hybrid will have two more forward ratios, courtesy of a new 8-speed automatic transmission. We had the opportunity (albeit a very brief one) to drive the new 2024 Toyota Hilux hybrid in Thailand recently. The car is still a prototype and the final specifications have yet to be revealed.

Unveiled at the ongoing Idemitsu Super Endurance Southeast Asia Trophy 2023 in Buriram, Thailand, the Toyota Tsusho prototype takes a regular seventh-generation Hilux 4x2 variant and swaps out its internal combustion engi

  • 2024 Toyota Hilux Rangga - New name for Thai 'national car' in Indonesia

    The Toyota Hilux Champ is billed as Thailand’s new ‘national car’ when it made its global debut in the Kingdom in late November. It makes sense since pick-up trucks are traditionally the country’s best-sellers, but the simplicity of the Hilux Champ makes it a plus point for commercial use in the region. The concept that previewed the Hilux Champ, the IMV 0 was shown in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan following its global unveiling by Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda in Thailand last year. Recen
