Toyota Hilux Gets A MASSIVE Price Cut In India, But There’s A Catch

• Toyota Hilux’s base STD trim prices slashed by Rs 3.59 lakh. 
• Its higher-end trims are more expensive by up to Rs 1.35 lakh.
• Hilux’s ex-showroom prices now range between Rs 30.4 lakh and Rs 37.9 lakh.

Let’s all admit that the premium end of Toyota cars is on the pricier side. The Hilux is a perfect example of that. But in what comes as a surprising move,Toyota India has slashed the prices of its pickup truck to make it a more value-for-money option. That said, the price decrease is just for the base trim as the top-end trims, on the other hand, have seen a price increase. 

Here’s a detailed look at the variant-wise price list of the Toyota Hilux:

As you can see above, the base STD trim is now more affordable by a whopping Rs 3.59 lakh (ex-showroom). On the other hand, the higher-end High trims are now pricier by up to Rs 1.35 lakh. With this move, the price difference between both the trims is around Rs seven lakh. 

The Hilux is Toyota’s lifestyle pickup truck with butch looks and tough-as-nails underpinnings. It gets the Fortuner’s 204PS 2.8-litre diesel engine, teamed with either six-speed manual or torque converter automatic transmissions.
