August 24: HiLux GR Sport grade added to lineup

Toyota Australia has confirmed a new hardcore halo variant for the 2023 HiLux range, with the all-new off-road focused GR Sport set to be introduced in the second half of 2023.

Replacing the Rugged X as the flagship off-road vehicle of the HiLux range, Toyota says it will announce further details on the GR Sport closer to its local launch next year.

The GR Sport was revealed in Europe at the beginning of this year, and is already available in Japan, South Africa and Thailand too.

The most powerful version is the South African, which boasts outputs of 165kW/550Nm from its 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine – up from the current 150kW/500Nm.

August 16: 2023 Toyota HiLux pricing confirmed

Toyota has confirmed pricing details for the updated 2023 Toyota HiLux, which is set for a fourth-quarter launch.

SR and SR5 extra-cab and dual-cab pricing has increased by $1250, while WorkMate and single-cab SR variants remain unchanged.

Meanwhile, manual versions of the WorkMate and SR Hi-Rider 2.8TD 4x2 double-cab have been deleted from the range for 2023.

The standard HiLux variants are on sale now, ahead of an October launch.

Our previous coverage, below, has been updated to reflect the latest information.

Toyota Australia has detailed updates to its best-selling HiLux ute for 2023, after the nameplate posted its highest monthly sales ever in June.

The 2023 Toyota HiLux will launch in Australia in the fourth quarter (October to December inclusive), with the range-topping Rogue receiving a wider body and a host of off-road enhancements.

A wider track and updated suspension package highlight the updated Rogue dual-cab, with an increased track of approximately 140 millimetres front and rear and a 20mm increase to ride height.

19

Toyota claims these enhancements will improve off-road ability and on-road performance.

To accommodate for the track increase, the suspension in the Rogue has been overhauled with extensions to the front arm and front stabiliser bar length.

Meanwhile, an adjusted shock absorber angle is said to have improved efficiency.

The rear of the Rogue is also modified, with the axle length extended, dampers moved closer to the wheels, and a rear stabiliser bar installed to ‘enhance cornering stability and ride comfort’.

19

In addition, the suspension enhancements have enhanced roll rigidity by 20 per cent for a greater steering feel, particularly when cornering or changing lanes.

In a HiLux first, modern rear ventilated disc brakes will replace drum brakes – in line with the latest Ford Ranger and upcoming Volkswagen Amarok.

However, as with the Ranger, this change is limited to the top of the range, with the WorkMate, SR and SR5 to retain rear drum brakes, which date back to the beginning of the 20th century.

Other changes for the flagship Rogue include; 17-inch front disc brakes (one inch larger) and wider overfenders, mudguards and front body extension.

19

Toyota has recorded more than 17,000 sales of the locally-developed HiLux Rugged X and Rogue since 2018, with both vehicles developed to rival the Ford Ranger Raptor and Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior, amongst others.

However, the Japanese marque has confirmed the Rugged X is set to be discontinued for model-year 2023, with an as-yet-unnamed ‘apex’ off-road variant to take its place.

Further details for this model, including launch timing, will be announced in the coming months.

The brand has also fitted a blind-spot monitor and rear-cross traffic alert to the Rogue, joining the Isuzu D-Max and Mazda BT-50 – both of which include a radar sensor at the rear as standard across the range.

19

This change will extend to the SR5 dual-cab pick-up variant, which also gains a 360-degree camera and puddle lamps on the side mirrors, with the heating function deleted.

An anti-theft immobiliser, replacing a traditional steering column lock, is new for automatic SR5 and Rogue dual-cab pick-up grades.

Meanwhile, the mid-spec SR will gain black 17-inch alloy wheels – replacing steel items – and body-coloured door handles, but only in extra-cab or dual-cab form.

Pricing has increased by $1250 for the updated SR and SR5 variants.

Single-cab versions – available in WorkMate and SR – retain the HiLux’s pre-facelift styling, with 16-inch steel wheels and a plastic front bumper.
