The cabin of Hilux is equipped with leather upholstery, an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone automatic climate control, a cooled glovebox, cruise control, steering wheel adjustment for tilt and telescopic settings, and a powered driver’s seat.

The Toyota Hilux stands out as one of the most reliable and durable pickup trucks globally. In 2021, India welcomed the eighth-generation Hilux, introducing two versions: Standard and High. Both boast a robust 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel engine generating 204 PS of power and 500 Nm of torque. Each variant comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive, while the High edition also offers a 6-speed automatic option.

Assembled in India with 30-35% local components, the entry-level Standard MT saw a price decrease of Rs 3.59 lakh, establishing a new starting price of Rs 30.40 lakh. Conversely, the more upscale High variant received a price increase. This premium variant offers both manual and automatic transmissions.

Toyota offered aggressive discounts of over Rs 6 lakh for the Hilux lifestyle pickup truck. Interestingly, the High variant, being the more premium choice of the two, is attracting more substantial discounts. Some North Indian Toyota dealerships are providing discounts ranging from Rs 6-8 lakh on the Hilux, initially launched in 2022 with a starting price of Rs 33.99 lakh.

Warsi sold his Ducati last year

Arshad Warsi owns multiple high-end motorcycles. Last year, the actor sold his Ducati 796. He also owns high-end cars like the Audi Q7. However, he is not spotted much out on the roads, which is why there are only a few pictures of the actor with the vehicles that he owns. Warsi goes on weekend motorcycle rides though and has been spotted with his group. Being a biker, Warsi might use the Hilux to mount his motorcycle and go on long trips.
