Which Toyota Hilux is the base model, and what does it cost?

The GX, from ₹31.99L ex-showroom, is where the Hilux range starts. Features you get even here: 8 inch touchscreen, rear camera and 7 airbags. What you give up against the top VX: no 360° camera, no tyre pressure monitor and no hill descent control, and 14 more.

Which Toyota Hilux is the top model, and what does it cost?

The VX tops the range at ₹36.69L ex-showroom. Over the base GX it adds 360° camera, tyre pressure monitor and hill descent control, and 14 more.

What do the Toyota Hilux trim names mean?

A trim is a level of equipment, and Toyota uses 2 names for them on the Hilux: in its own order they run GX and VX. The name is not the car, though: GX alone covers 2 variants, differing in engine rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 3 variants cost ₹31.99L to ₹36.69L, ex-showroom.

What fuel does the Toyota Hilux run on?

Every one of the 3 Hilux variants on sale is a diesel, from ₹31.99L for the GX Diesel RWD AT, ex-showroom. It comes only as an automatic, so there is no manual variant to save on.

₹34,53,738 to ₹45,43,878 on the road

Where that range comes from

Every price in the table is ex-showroom, the figure before road tax, registration and the rest of it. Road tax is set by the state you register in rather than by the maker, so what you actually hand over moves with where you live.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the GX Diesel RWD AT comes to ₹34,53,738 in Ahmedabad and ₹39,65,778 in Kochi, a difference of ₹5,12,040 on the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price it in, Gujarat, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You register where you live, so read that as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as somewhere cheaper to buy.

Comprehensive own-damage cover sits on top of all of it. That has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer and your no-claim bonus, so budget for it from real quotes rather than from any number here.

What owners and testers say

Independent evidence only. Never the maker’s own marketing.

+ Body-on-frame construction and the four-wheel-drive hardware are the reason people buy these, and reviewers say the new one has not softened either+ The 2.8 diesel is refined for what it is, and sixth gear keeps highway cruising quiet+ First light commercial vehicle ANCAP has rated good for pedestrian protection, which is not a thing pickups have historically been good at− Unladen ride is bouncy and jiggly on the leaf-sprung rear, which is what every leaf-spring pickup does empty and it settles once the bed is loaded− Rear seat is short on legroom and uncomfortable on a long drive− Under-equipped for the money: Autocar India and Team-BHP both note no ventilated seats, no rain-sensing wipers, no seat lumbar adjustment, no paddle shifters, no electronic parking brake and no ADAS suite

5 more things owners and testers say

+ The load bed is genuinely usable rather than a styling exercise+ An 80 litre tank means long legs between fuel stops even at pickup consumption− Cabin materials are utilitarian rather than premium, which stands out against SUVs at similar prices− Thirsty, and no certified figure exists to check it against: Team-BHP's review reports 7 to 10 km/l in the city and about 10 to 12 km/l on the highway− ANCAP applied the full eight-point penalty for the danger the front structure poses to occupants of an oncoming car

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.

Where the Toyota Hilux shows up

On 2 of them the trim that qualifies is not the cheapest Hilux, so read the price beside it as the price of that trim rather than of the car.

What fuel does the Toyota Hilux run on?: Every one of the 3 Hilux variants on sale is a diesel, from ₹31.99L for the GX Diesel RWD AT, ex-showroom. It comes only as an automatic, so there is no manual variant to save on.
