Toyota temporarily halts Hilux bookings in India

However, Toyota did not give any indication about the number of bookings it has received for the Hilux in the country.

Toyota Kirloskar Motors Hilux Pick-up unveiled In January this year in India and while we were curious to know the price of the car, Toyota kept that information a secret. However, it announced that bookings for the utility vehicle were open and attracted a lot of attention. Toyota today announced that due to the overwhelming response to the Hilux in India, the company has temporarily suspended bookings for the pickup truck in the country.

“We are delighted with the overwhelming response Hilux has received from our customers within a fortnight of its launch. However, in light of various factors affecting our supply, we are unable to meet the increased demand,” the company said in a statement. Thus, we deeply regret our temporary stoppage of booking for Hilux to avoid any inconvenience to our customers.”

However, Toyota has not given any indication about the number of bookings it has received for the Hilux in the country and we are unable to provide you an even number. The Toyota Hilux will be offered only in a double-cab variant and shares its underpinnings with the existing Toyota Innova Crysta and Fortuner. It is made by the IMV-2 platform and actually has some recognizable bits that have been borrowed from the Fortuner.

Under the hood, Toyota will get the same 2.8-litre, four-cylinder, diesel engine from the Hilux Fortuner that develops 201 bhp and 420 Nm of peak torque in the manual version, while the automatic version makes 500 Nm of peak torque. The carmaker will be offering the Hilux only in 4×4 versions and the SUV is equipped with all the drive-assist features that we have come to expect in an off-roader, including hill-assist, brake assist, hill descent control and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Huh. Limited-slip differential, differential lock and has a water wading capacity of 700 mm.
