TRD Sport Therapy : For The New 2016 Toyota Hilux Revo

KUALA LUMPUR: By seeing this off-road prototype of 2016 Toyota Hilux Revo TRD Sport, one thing is surely clear that a lot of effort has gone in crafting this sport master piece by Toyota. Unveiled at the Bangkok International Auto Salon 2015 ,which commenced on June 24-28 in Thailand, 2016 Hilux enjoyed its world premiere. The truck display looked like one stage prior to production.

As far as the engine is concerned, the new Hilux has got new turbocharged engines, the 2.8 liter 1GD-FTV and a 2.4 liter 2GD-FTV from the GD family, which will give it an enhanced performance. Also both Euro 4-compliant oil burners feature common-rail direct-injection, variable-nozzle turbos and exhaust gas recirculation. A stop/start system is also coupled with the engine.

The 2.8 liter version has 177 hp at 3,400 rpm and 450 Nm between 1,600 and 2,400 rpm as its output numbers, when paired with the new six-speed automatic transmission. As for the 2.4L variant, which spews 150 hp at 3,400 rpm and achieves a peak torque of 400 Nm between 1,600 and 2,000 rpm with the six-speed automatic gearbox.

The new Hilux, has got a very bold aura, which is contributed by a thicker and stronger frame, TRD front grill and sump guard, bumper cover, sport bar, overfenders and a spoiler on the tail gate. The wing mirrors have a carbon cover, which adds to the masculinity of this beast. Areas such as safety,comfort and convenience have also received a raise in the new Hilux.

This truck, which featured accessories like bespoke black grille, a front guard, tailgate spoiler, carbon fiber mirror caps, body graphics, side steps, shift knob, interior trims, off-road suspension, rear stabilizer bar, brake caliper kit, and a sports exhaust system with a carbon fiber pipe and provides the owner with six-speed intelligent manual and auto gear box, surely garbed the spotlight of the auto show.
