Toyota has introduced upgraded versions of the Toyota Hilux for the Vietnamese market. The Toyota Hilux 2024 will offer a total of three variants for Vietnamese customers to choose from, including the 2.4L 4ร2 AT, 2.4L 4ร4 MT, and 2.8L 4ร4 AT Adventure.
The 2.4L 4ร2 AT and 2.4L 4ร4 MT variants feature a honeycomb-designed front bumper and modern fog lights, giving the mid-size pickup truck a more robust appearance.
On the other hand, the 2.8L 4ร4 AT Adventure variant sports a black surround on the grille and a large silver skid plate. This versionโs exterior closely resembles the previous 2.4L 4ร2 AT variant of the Toyota Hilux in the Vietnamese market.

Exclusively, the 2.8L 4ร4 AT Adventure variant of the pickup truck is equipped with dual-zone climate control and an array of safety features, including six sensors, a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
The Toyota Hilux 2024 continues to be imported from Thailand by the Japanese automaker. It is paired with either a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission and is powered by a Euro 5-compliant diesel engine.
With the Euro 5-compliant engine of the Hilux 2024, Toyota also recommends that customers use the correct type of fuel to avoid potential risks and inconveniences during their ownership experience.
