0.081 -> Toyota Fortuner and Innova Crysta,

2.57 -> Both are very popular in India.

5.646 -> But there is an SUV based on platform of Fortuner and Crysta,

9.487 -> Which is more popular worldwide than the other two.

12.807 -> Guys I am talking about the Toyota Hilux,

15.475 -> And it is sold in around 180 countries.

18.567 -> Watch the video for all the details.

20.567 -> So without wasting any further time,

21.751 -> Let’s go!

22.578 -> [Music]

49.726 -> Just for your information,

52.28 -> We are driving this car in Rishikesh.

55.292 -> Let us start with the design aspect.

59.215 -> The overall styling is pretty similar to the Innova Crysta and the Fortuner.

64.963 -> Especially the front grille looks very much similar to that of Innova Crysta.

72 -> It gets a blacked-out front grille with chrome surrounds around them,

75.32 -> Headlamps are a sleek units with projector light setup,

78.868 -> Which again looks similar to the lights of Innova Crysta.

82.253 -> While the IMV Toyota Platform is the same on all three,

86.73 -> Crysta, Fortuner, and even Hilux.

90.279 -> Overall the front appears similar to the other two.

95.92 -> From the side you will notice the Hilux sits on chunkier tyres.

100.56 -> They are 18 inches which is identical to the Fortuner.

106.878 -> However, the car we have with us is accessorised.

111.143 -> So you will notice that many of these elements are not company fitted,

117.103 -> They are all part of aftermarket accessories.

119.912 -> You can add many more things but we will not get into those details right now.

124.748 -> The door handles and ORVMs are covered in chrome,

130.822 -> Which is standard on the higher variants.

135.528 -> Same is the case with Fortuner and Crysta as well.

139.06 -> So they retained the typical Toyota family look.

143.481 -> And as we move to the rear you will notice a completely new styling on this SUV.

148.92 -> You get a big and bold Toyota stickering at the back,

152.322 -> Sleek tail lamp units.

154.29 -> And overall it might remind of something else.

157.219 -> You might have seen such types of cars in some movies maybe.

162.071 -> So it looks really different from the back.

164.234 -> You can open the gate and you can even accessorise this part completely.

169.086 -> You can leave it as it is or maybe cover it or add a canopy,

172.227 -> You get a lot more things to do.

174.13 -> So it creates that agility.

177 -> If you are a photographer or videographer, or maybe a wildlife photographer,

180.173 -> Then it’s definitely a great choice,

181.807 -> And a flexible option for those who constantly go on a shoot in a sanctuary as a wildlife photographer.

186.261 -> Now, let's step inside.

187.903 -> The interiors of Hilux are very similar to what the Fortuner offers.

192.902 -> Now I will not point at similar things as you can easily notice them.

197.787 -> But I’ll just tell you everything in the car.

200.374 -> It gets a leather wrapped steering wheel,

203.482 -> Cruise control,

204.814 -> You also have audio controls,

206.528 -> So you get many controls on the steering wheel.

209.404 -> Although it misses out on the paddle shifters which the Fortuner offers.

213.213 -> The front seats are pretty wide and comfortable,

216.277 -> And you will not get tired even on those long journeys.

219.075 -> So you can travel very comfortably in the front seats.

224.2 -> Also, the bonnet edges are clearly visible,

227.488 -> Which means you will have no problem and you will enjoy driving this car.

233.36 -> There is a touchscreen system with android auto and apple car play.

238.685 -> It even has a reverse parking camera.

241.288 -> It gets a three-zone climate control.

243 -> Left,

243.614 -> Right,

244.456 -> And third at the rear.

245.787 -> It also gets 7-Airbags,

247.823 -> ABS+EBD,

249 -> And other plenty of safety features like hill descent control,

253.005 -> So there are a lot of safety features.

254.813 -> The seats get leatherette upholstery,

256.715 -> And you even get those soft-touch elements on the dashboard.

260.247 -> But the majority of them are hard plastics.

265.392 -> For easy ingress and egress, you have a grab rail to hold,

270.948 -> For both the side of passengers.

273 -> And overall if you want a few extra features then it lacks them,

277.966 -> Especially when compared to other cars at this price point.

281.677 -> Now let's go to the back seats to show you what features or space it offers for rear passengers.

286.48 -> Alright guys here we are in the back seats.

288.921 -> Firstly, you sit a bit higher than the front seats which gives a clear view of the front.

295.679 -> But at the same time, the ride will be bouncy on bad roads.

301.509 -> Three people can sit comfortably without any problem.

304.52 -> While there is also a centre armrest with cup holders.

308.672 -> There are two large size adjustable headrests,

311.552 -> And even a small size adjustable headrest for centre passenger.

317.642 -> The glass area is pretty large and overall it has a decent comfort offer.

322.51 -> However, the seats are pretty upright.

325.602 -> They are not reclined at all and feels straight upright.

329.558 -> And I feel it might get uncomfortable,

333.451 -> And even the thigh support is lacking.

336.901 -> So people can sit on the second row,

340.27 -> But overall comfort is definitely needed.

344.144 -> Even to get in the backseat you get the grab rails,

348.605 -> Making the in and out pretty easy.

352.674 -> Overall it’s good enough at the back.

354.886 -> For the rear passengers, there are AC vents,

356.886 -> Cup holders,

358.07 -> Bottle holders,

359.793 -> Storage space,

360.766 -> Hooks to hang shopping bags,

367.883 -> But there is not a single charging port for rear passengers.

371.724 -> There is not a single type-C port.

374.523 -> Front you get a 12V and a regular USB charging port,

376.947 -> But there’s none at the rear.

379.892 -> So I feel it is one of the major miss outs.

384.353 -> Now let us drive the Hilux,

385.391 -> And we will tell you how it drives on road and off road.

388.515 -> Here we are to drive the car,

390.14 -> Turning on the engine,

392.026 -> Shifted to drive,

393.733 -> And here we go.

395.733 -> Now, it gets the same 2.8-Litre diesel engine as the Fortuner.

401.872 -> There is an option for a 6-speed manual and an automatic transmission.

406.121 -> The auto transmission variant comes with 500NM torque,

408.512 -> While the manual comes with 420NM torque.

411.978 -> So that's one differentiation.

413.836 -> All in all, you have options for both transmissions,

416.522 -> With the manual having less torque compared to the auto.

421.26 -> The specialty of the Hilux is that the bonnet edges are clearly visible.

424.075 -> So even if you are driving such big size SUV for the first time,

427.004 -> It will not take much time to get used to it.

429.607 -> Overall power & pickup is really great.

431.819 -> Just press the accelerator pedal and the car moves very quickly.

435 -> The power delivery is easy and smooth combined with the massive torque.

438.841 -> So you will not have a problem driving the Hilux.

441 -> Now, I have driven it on many kinds of roads.

443.212 -> One is this smooth tarmac highway,

446.4 -> And other is the off-road where we felt the car to be pretty bouncy.

449.736 -> Especially with the boot completely empty.

452.143 -> But if the boot is full of luggage,

453.964 -> The leaf springs help to make the ride even better.

455.573 -> I am not getting into technical details,

457.377 -> But the leaf springs help to make the ride better with the loaded boot.

461.51 -> Or else it tends to get bouncy.

463.722 -> The only solution is to keep the tyre pressure less than required,

468.883 -> Which will help to make the ride less bouncy to some extent.

473.784 -> Else you will feel it to be bouncy very much.

476.892 -> Overall the drive is really good.

480 -> We did not have to struggle on the bad patch of roads.

484.755 -> Even the gear shifts are pretty smooth.

487.603 -> I wish it had come equipped with paddle shifters,

491.428 -> Which I feel is a clear miss out.

493.917 -> In terms of off-road capabilities, it’s very easy.

498.72 -> You don’t have to struggle or put in any extra effort, or anything like that.

505.299 -> You should not face all such problems in most cases,

508.92 -> With respect to performance.

510.774 -> If your tyres are not in good condition,

513.85 -> Or if they are stuck in some sticky parts,

517.692 -> Then that will be a different case altogether.

520.165 -> Other than that you can take this car anywhere.

524.251 -> Even you should not face the problem with ground clearance in most cases.

530.309 -> So it is sorted in these areas.

532.439 -> Now for off road test,

535.611 -> We took it on various kind of bad road patches.

538.833 -> For instance, we took it for wheel articulation where one tyre goes up in the air.

543.522 -> So I did just two things,

545.131 -> Shifted it to 4 low,

547.751 -> Switched on the differential lock,

549.392 -> And the car did the job effortlessly.

551.392 -> It was very comfortable and convenient and there was no problem at all.

554.533 -> You can easily take it in such conditions without any problem.

559.255 -> The best part about it is you don’t need to struggle.

563.536 -> Later, we drove the car on an incline.

568.828 -> So the route was a sideway incline and we were going downwards.

574.462 -> I thought it to be difficult but as soon as I took the car on it,

579.542 -> It just went effortlessly.

582.21 -> It was very easy than I actually thought to be a difficult task.

588.855 -> Later we went incline on a riverbed,

591.995 -> And even there it went effortlessly, buttery smooth,

597.531 -> With no extra effort needed.

599.873 -> And that is the best part of the Hilux.

603.091 -> So if you are going off-road you will not have to struggle.

611.218 -> And even if the road is narrow,

614.212 -> The judgment of this car is good that we passed it without any problem.

621.168 -> So once get used to the dimensions,

624.57 -> You will not face any issues driving it.

628.859 -> So this was all about the Hilux.

631.706 -> Now the question is should you buy it or not?

635.132 -> So guys this was our today’s video on the Toyota Hilux.

639 -> We have reviewed so many cars,

642.147 -> But this was our first review of a pickup.

644.84 -> So if you want us to do something different and special,

648.665 -> Let me know in the comments.

649.557 -> I feel we must do a road trip.

652.502 -> Do let me know about today’s video,

654.502 -> And will you consider a pickup?

657.8 -> I am open to knowing your views.

659.556 -> I am very much curious as there are not many pickups.

663.446 -> There is this Hilux and one is from Isuzu.

666.571 -> So there are just two of these lifestyle pickup trucks in the market.

669.842 -> So what’s your view on this category?

672.787 -> More than that,

673.532 -> If you are confused as to which car to buy with so many options available in the market,

677.716 -> There are pickup trucks, sedans, SUVs like the Fortuner,

683.204 -> And the list is pretty long.
