Toyota Kirlloskar Motor has introduced the Hilux Black Edition in India, priced at Rs 37.9 lakh (ex-showroom). The Black Edition builds on the Hilux’s reputation for rugged performance and durability, offering enhanced styling and advanced features.
Key highlights
The Toyota Hilux Black Edition is powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. With 500 Nm of torque, this engine promises superior off-road capability, complemented by a 4X4 drivetrain that ensures smooth performance across tough terrains. The Black Edition is designed to appeal to adventure seekers and those looking for a lifestyle utility vehicle with an aggressive yet refined look, the company said in a media release.
Visually, the Hilux Black Edition boasts an all-black theme, which includes a black front radiator grille, black alloy wheels, and black exterior accents such as the ORVM covers, door handles, and fuel lid garnish. The design touches create a striking road presence that enhances its rugged appeal. LED headlights and rear combination lamps further accentuate its modern aesthetic, making it a standout both day and night.
Performance
The Hilux Black Edition retains the core characteristics of the Hilux brand—strength, durability, and power—featuring Toyota’s innovative multi-purpose vehicle (IMV) platform. The Hilux’s robust frame structure allows it to excel on a variety of surfaces, while its best-in-class 700mm water wading capacity ensures it can handle water crossings with ease. Its 500 Nm torque and 4X4 drivetrain enhance the driving experience, making it equally capable on city roads and rough terrains, the company said.
Features
The truck is equipped with a host of advanced safety and comfort features such as: 7 SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TC), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), and Automatic Limited Slip Differential (ALSD). It also includes Hill Assist Control (HAC) and Downhill Assist Control (DAC) for added security on inclines and rough roads. The vehicle also boasts front parking sensors, making it easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces.
Inside, the Hilux Black Edition offers a premium experience with luxurious leather upholstery, a dual-zone fully automatic climate control system, and an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The eight-way powered driver seat ensures long-distance comfort, and the vehicle also features cruise control for an effortless highway driving experience. A reverse parking camera with audio display enhances parking safety.
