What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the new Hilux is more composed, refined and comfortable than before while keeping its toughness, off-road ability and chunky physical controls. What Car? found the diesel noisy when pushed and Toyota's infotainment software behind the best; Autocar found the electric version keeps the off-road ability but gives up a lot of range and hauling capacity.
