Exterior

The Hilux demands attention from the moment it comes into view. I mean just look at it, it is looking like a Red hulk. The huge grille at the front has a chrome surround all over it while the slats are black. What I really liked is that this is not a case of a vehicle which is having large grills and not suiting the vehicle. Even its a case where the grills can never be larger than the size of vehicle.

Enhancing the grille are chunky LED headlamps below which sit the LED fog lamps in a black housing. And at the side, you will get 18-inch alloy wheels that look really subtle but fit the character of the vehicle, I did feel that the side of the Hill has too many design elements, especially the door handles which are chrome garnished surround by black and then a chrome border.
