Toyota Australia has expanded its top-selling HiLux range with a new
variant specifically developed for the mining sector and for small to medium-size businesses such as plumbers,
electricians and building industry contractors.
The latest HiLux 4x4 SR Double Cab provides customers with a more flexible and more affordable 'workhorse' suited to
their needs, combining the cab-chassis body style for the first time in this grade with a turbo-diesel engine and
automatic transmission.
Toyota in Japan developed the vehicle specifically for Australia following feedback from the local company about
customer demand for this specification.
The cab-chassis body style is particularly suited for industries needing customised fit-outs that typically include
storage lockers and toolboxes, the ability to carry additional spare tyres and water or fuel tanks, right through to full
mine specification.

The latest HiLux package retains the Double-Cab's ability to transport five people while meeting the growing driver
preference for the five-speed self-shifter in combination with the powerful and efficient 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine.
Lifting the number of HiLux variants to 23 in Australia, the new SR Double Cab scores highly on business checklists
with its renowned 4x4 ability, rugged construction, comfort and convenience features, and five-star safety credentials.
Recommended manufacturer's list price is from $43,740* - a saving of $1,500 compared with the identically equipped
ute version.
Toyota Australia executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the development of the new HiLux variant
demonstrated the importance of Australia and its customers to the global company.
"This new 4x4 HiLux package has been uniquely developed to meet the demands of workers in the harsh and remote
conditions experienced in Australia's mining and exploration industries," Mr Cramb said.
"Equally, those attributes make it a rugged, dependable and affordable choice for businesses and individuals around
the country, many of whom spend large amounts equipping their HiLux as a workhorse," he said.
"Our dealers are targeting an overall increase in volume as a direct result of the new variant, ensuring HiLux will
continue its extensive record of sales leadership."

HiLux has been Australia's best-selling four-wheel-drive vehicle since 2005 and number one in commercial-vehicle sales
since 1998. Overall Toyota HiLux sales have topped 820,000 since the first model arrived in 1971.
Safety features in the new variant include six airbags, stability and traction control, brake assist and electronic
brakeforce distribution.
The common-rail turbo-diesel with electronic direct injection and a variable-vane turbocharger is the most popular
engine choice in the HiLux range.
Matched to the auto gearbox, it develops peak torque of 360Nm from just 1,400rpm all the way to 3,200rpm. Maximum
power is 126kW at 3,600rpm. The fuel consumption rating is 8.7 litres of diesel fuel per 100km.
Standard convenience features in Toyota HiLux SR Double Cab include 6.1-inch display screens with
Bluetooth® connectivity for compatible devices, and steering-wheel controls for operating the audio,
multi-information display (MID), telephone and voice recognition.
The MID shows current and average fuel economy, average vehicle speed, cruising range, outside temperature, a compass
and the time.
The debut of the new variant coincides with the release of three new exterior hues across the HiLux range - Graphite,
Silver Sky and Eclipse Black. There are five other colours available.
Every new HiLux is covered by the capped-price Toyota Service Advantage at a maximum of $170 per service (conditions
apply).
NOTE:
* Manufacturer's List Price (MLP) excludes dealer delivery fees and the numerous statutory charges (commonly known as
on-road costs). Additionally, please note that all prices, fees and charges are subject to change without notice, as are
the specifications.
