Performance to The Perfect Power & Control

Diesel engine perfection unfolds with the fusion of raw power and precise measurements in a vehicle meant to rule the roads of the world. Under the hood throbs Toyota's latest Common-rail diesel engine with Variable Nozzle Turbo Intercooler. Compared to previous diesel engine models, the Common-rail engine is able to supply high pressurized injections at all speed levels, controlled by a 32-bit ECU. The result is better combustion coupled with less vibration and noise in both dynamic engine displacements of 3.0L with Turbo Intercooler and the 2.5L variant.

An equally powerful and efficient gasoline engine with a displacement of 2.7 Liter, Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i) technology is also available. Whatever roads you take, the Hilux can take on the challenge. Here are some specifics defining its superior performance:

The part-time 4WD

The part-time 4WD varies the torque distribution automatically and instantly in response to driving conditions, contributing to excellent vehicle stability

Double Wishbone Front Suspension

Double Wishbone Front Suspension features coil springs which provide good wheel stroke. It is a significant contributor to the outstanding ride comfort and handling

Rear Suspension

The rear suspension is a rigid axle type. The leaf springs and the damping force of the shock absorbers are optimally tuned to provide excellent stability, control and flat ride comfort

High-Rigidity Frame Structure

The high-rigidity frame structure provides a strong platform for the Vigo's rugged performance. Use of CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) to optimise the body structure helped to reduce noise and vibration, and contributes to excellent stability and control

Safety to The Perfect Sanctuary

Toyota’s philosophy toward safety is mirrored in the Hilux. . Power without compromising safety is an ideal, which Toyota adheres to. For the new Hilux, perfect power deserves a perfect refuge. Numerous advanced features and technologies in the Hilux help enhance safety from an active and passive point of view. They are designed to prevent accidents and minimize injury to the driver and passengers in any given extreme situation.

Passive Safety

In an unlikely case of an accident, many features in the Hilux help minimize damage to the cabin and maximize passenger protection.

Crash Safety Body - The Hilux incorporates front crumple zones that help absorb impact energy in a frontal collision, and a high integrity cabin structure that dissipates impact energy into the entire body.

3-point ELR Seatbelts - 3 point ELR seatbelts are fitted in the front seats and 3-point ELR-ALR seatbelts in the rear seats. 2-point seatbelts are fitted on the centre seats in some models. The seatbelts are equipped with an Emergency Locking Reactor, which locks and rewinds the seatbelts when a predetermined load is exceeded (2 –point seatbelts at center seats).

Energy-absorbing (EA) steering column - In the event of a frontal impact, Toyota’s EA Steering column absorbs secondary impact to minimize injury to the driver.

Side impact door beams - Reinforcement beams inside the door panels provide resistance and help disperse energy from side collisions. They reduce door intrusion to the cabin during a side impact

Fuel tank - The fuel tank is positioned within the frame to hope protect it from damage.

Active Safety

Toward helping the driver relax and concentrate on the road, the Hilux offers an excellent view and switches strategically positioned to minimize disturbances.

Child protector – The rear doors cannot be opened from inside the cabin while the vehicle is moving.

Brake system - High-performance front disc brakes are standard on all models. A brake booster reduces the amount of pedal pressure needed for efficient braking, while blend valves automatically adjust rear braking in relation to the amount of load. The Hilux also features Toyota’s dual brake system, which helps ensure effective braking at all times.

Other Safety Features

TVSS - The TVSS (Toyota Vehicle Security System) ensures the drive peace of mind as well as keyless entry

Anti-Flood Feature - Anti-flood features such as repositioned intake vent prevent water from entering and damaging the engine

Collapsible Steering Column - This feature ensures the safety of the drive as it collapses inward and away from the driver in times of frontal impact

G.O.A. (Global Outstanding Assessment) body - The crash safety body is comprised of a high integrity cabin with a front crumple zone. The Vigo also incorporate a compatibility body structure which focus on reducing the damage to smaller cars in a collision

Safety and GOA

The body is built to Toyota's own Global Outstanding Assessment (GOA) standards, which meet all and exceed many of the safety requirements laid down by the relevant authorities in Japan, the United States, Europe and Australia. What it means for the customer is peace of mind, knowing that safety and build quality is a given. Vigo is equipped with enough security to qualify for the UK Thatcham-1 rating, with an engine immobiliser, anti-tow sensor, hyper-frequency sensor (to detect cabin intrusion) and a back-up battery for the siren.

The Toyota Hilux has already proved its ability to cope with the toughest conditions worldwide and has become one of the world’s best selling pick-ups, with nearly 12 million sold globally since launch. This legendary durability was put to the test for the BBC’s best Gear programme, where the Hilux survived trial by fire, flood, tumbling tower block and deadly caravan.

Load Carrying Ability

The Hilux Vigo is not compromised in its load-carrying ability, it has a gross vehicle weight of 2,780kg. It is a workhouse in factories and farms all around the world. Farmers in South Africa, Namibia, Angola and Pakistan are as satisfied with their Hiluxes exported by Sam Motors, as are small business owners in UK, Norway, Denmark, Spain and Latin America.
