Toyota Hilux Eighth generation (AN120, AN130; 2015–present)
he eighth-generation Hilux was launched in May 2015. To truly understand what customers expect and the challenges they face on a daily basis, the development teams traveled the globe, getting direct feedback from customers and driving on a wide variety of different roads to get a feel for different usage conditions.
The entire development concept for the eighth-generation Hilux was centered on 'redefining toughness,' with the aim of making the new Hilux 'tougher' based on a much broader interpretation of that word. The eighth-generation Hilux design was not only tougher but also reduced stress as much as possible. Above and beyond conventional ideas of toughness, it boasted ride comfort that made long, tough drives less grueling, a quiet cabin that allowed communication in any conditions, and enhanced cruising range thanks to improved fuel efficiency. It could also be relied on to provide the legendary ruggedness, performance, responsiveness, and safety expected from the model.
At the 36th International Vienna Motor Symposium, which held in May 2015, the world saw the first 2.8-liter GD engine. Toyota said it would reuse the 2.0, 2.7, and 4.0 L petrol engines used in previous generations with a Dual VVT-i update. The introduction of the GD series was primarily aimed at increasing torque and power at the cost of lower displacement and engine emissions. However, the vehicle did not hit the showrooms until after five months after the official release.
In Pakistan, The Hilux Revo is expected to be launched by early next year. The new Hilux Revo for Pakistan is going to be quite similar to the international one. Three variants of the model will be made available.
V variant
G variant
Single cabin
All variants will come with a 3.0 Litre 1KD engine.
