Después de varios meses de fotos espías y filtraciones, por fin es
oficial. Toyota presentó durante esta madrugada argentina en Tailandia y
Australia a la octava generación de la Hilux. La octava generación de
la pick-up para el segmento mediano se renovó por completo. Estrena
diseño, equipamiento, motores y transmisiones.
Con una inversión de más de 800 millones de dólares, la nueva Hilux
se producirá en la planta argentina de Zárate a partir de noviembre. En
nuestro mercado habrá versiones con cabina simple, doble y carrozada (SW4).
La Hilux 2016 creció en varias dimensiones, excepto en distancia entre ejes y altura (varía según el despeje de cada mercado):
Largo: 5.335 mm (antes 5.260 mm)
Ancho: 1.855 mm (antes 1.835 mm)
Alto: 1.820 mm (antes 1.860 mm)
Distancia entre ejes: 3.085 mm (no varió)
Habrá dos nuevas motorizaciones turbodiesel: de 2.4 y 2.8 litros de cilindrada. También se estrenará una nueva caja automática de seis velocidades.
El 2.4 tendrá un turbo de geometría variable con 150
caballos de potencia y 343 Nm de torque. Se combinará con caja manual
de cinco marchas. Este propulsor ofrecerá una variante con mayor
desempeño: 167 cv y 400 Nm, con caja automática de seis marchas.
El impulsor 2.8 turbodiesel, también con geometría variable, entregará 177 cv con 420 Nm (caja manual) y 450 Nm (automática).
Para algunos mercados también se seguirá ofreciendo el motor naftero 2.7 de 160 cv, que estrenará una nueva caja manual de seis velocidades.
El nuevo chasis ofrecerá por primera vez la posibilidad de ser configurado con tres tipos de suspensiones diferentes: Standard (pensada para todo tipo de caminos), Heavy Duty (para cargas pesadas) y Comfort (para caminos pavimentados).
En materia de transmisiones, la gran novedad es que se descartó la
segunda palanca para conectar la doble tracción y la reductora. Ahora
estos mecanismos se accionan desde un botón.

Eight Generations in, the Toyota Hilux is Redefining “Tough”
Toyota City, Japan, May 21, 2015―A complete redesign of one of the
world’s best-known and best-loved nameplates, the Toyota Hilux pickup,
was unveiled in Bangkok today, marking the start of sales of the new
model in the Thai market.
Since the Hilux first hit dealerships in 1968, over 16 million have
been sold in more than 180 countries and regions. Over its
seven-generation history, the quality, durability and reliability of the
Hilux have earned the model a diehard fanbase and a legendary
reputation. Simply put, everyone knows the Hilux is tough.
But what does “tough” really mean? That’s the question we at Toyota
asked ourselves when faced with the challenge of creating the
eighth-generation Hilux.
We realized that toughness doesn’t just come from the vehicle; it
comes from the people inside. Whether you’re battling your way up a
muddy track or stuck in traffic, reducing the stress of driving is just
as important as withstanding the elements. That’s why the new Hilux,
while improving on the model’s characteristic ruggedness and
performance, redefines toughness by being more occupant-focused and
easier to drive than ever before.
Hilux Double Cab Interior design
To truly understand what our customers expect from us and the
challenges they face on a daily basis, our development teams travel the
globe, getting direct feedback from customers and driving on a wide
variety of different roads to get a feel for different usage conditions.
To gain inspiration for the eighth-generation Hilux, the development
team drove in conditions ranging from rough, muddy forests to deserts
with temperatures exceeding 50°C and flooded roads in the rainy season.
Sometimes they came up against even harsher conditions than expected,
which brought home the need to develop an even tougher Hilux.
The development process also reflected invaluable feedback received
directly from Hilux drivers. Some wished they could make long
transcontinental trips without worrying about running out of fuel.
Others described how hard it is to stay alert and drive safely during
grueling long-distance journeys with extended stretches of rough
driving. Yet another, who uses their Hilux for forest maintenance work
and frequently speaks via radio with the police and fire department,
explained how a quiet cabin is essential for communication.
This led the development team to conclude that the new Hilux should
not only be tougher but should also reduce stress as much as possible.
Above and beyond conventional ideas of toughness, the eighth-generation
Hilux boasts ride comfort that makes long, tough drives less grueling, a
quiet cabin that allows communication in any conditions, and enhanced
cruising range thanks to improved fuel efficiency.
As explained by Hiroki Nakajima, the executive chief engineer behind
the Hilux (and also a managing officer of Toyota Motor Corporation):
“Our entire development concept was centered on ‘redefining toughness’.
We aimed to make the new Hilux ‘tougher’ based on a much broader
interpretation of that word. The message we want to deliver to our
customers is embodied in our slogan for the vehicle: ‘A New Era for
Pickup. Every Inch a Hilux.'”
The Hilux pioneers a “new era” of easy-to-drive, stress-free
toughness. At the same time, the truck is “every inch a Hilux”, and can
be relied on to provide the legendary ruggedness, performance,
responsiveness and safety expected from the model.
