THE NEW TOYOTA HILUX VARIANT
For the Toyota Hilux range, a new Hilux 2.8 Black Edition replaces the Hilux 2.8 L-Edition. This new Black Edition has a bolder appearance with an exterior colour theme of black and dark grey. A glossy black finish is applied to the door handles, fog lamp covers, wing mirrors and on its 18-inch alloy wheels, while dark grey is used for the bumper guards. Dark grey is also used for the grille with contrasting black to make it even more outstanding.
The Hilux 2.8 Black Edition sits the top of the pick-up range with a selling price of RM139, 888 in Peninsular Malaysia for private registration, without insurance. Other Hilux ranges which includes the 2.4 Single Cab M/T, 2.4 STD M/T, 2.4 G M/T, 2.4 G A/T and 2.4 L-Edition A/T are priced between RM90, 000 and RM124, 888.
The new Hilux 2.8 Black Edition now gets a new infotainment system with 6.75-inch display for a clearer view and easier operation.

This will enhance motoring as the driver will have access to all their favourite apps right on the dashboard.
