Toyota Hilux Raider X (2023) Price & Specs

The new limited-edition Toyota Hilux Raider X has quietly hit the market in South Africa. Here are initial details of the fresh double-cab derivatives, including pricing…

Toyota South Africa Motors has added new limited-edition Hilux Raider X derivatives to its Prospecton-built double-cab bakkie range.

Offered exclusively in 4×4 guise and featuring the Japanese firm’s familiar 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine – which makes an unchanged 110 kW and 400 Nm – the Raider X can be specified with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic transmission with the same number of cogs.

From what we can tell, the Raider X derivatives have (temporarily) replaced the standard Raider 4×4 variants in the local Hilux double-cab range, though the length of this limited production run is unclear.

How much does the Toyota Hilux Raider X cost in SA?

Toyota Hilux 2.4GD-6 double cab 4×4 Raider X – R674 800

Toyota Hilux 2.4GD-6 double cab 4×4 Raider X AT – R704 300

The purchase price includes a 3-year/100 000 km warranty and a 9-service/90 000 km service plan (with intervals of 10 000 km).

Pricing: New Toyota Hilux Raider X aims to mark the spot for midrange bakkies

The new Toyota Hilux Raider X has just gone on sale in South Africa and it aims to bring some spice to the company’s mid-range 4x4 bakkie line-up.
With the range-topping Hilux Legend variant having recently breached the million-rand mark, it is refreshing to see something new at the less expensive end of the spectrum.

But less expensive doesn’t necessarily mean cheap. The Toyota Hilux Raider X is available only in 4x4 guise, and is listed at R674 800 for the manual model and R704 300 as an auto.

Although Toyota describes the Raider X as a limited edition model it appears to replace the regular Raider 4x4 model, which is no longer listed on Toyota SA’s website. Pricing remains the same as the latter, however, while extra features have been added.

 
Hydrogen-powered Toyota Hilux unveiled with 365-mile range

Government-backed project takes shape to create an alternative zero-emission vehicle for remote UK areas

Toyota has unveiled its hydrogen-powered Hilux pick-up, coming as part of a £70 million government drive to develop alternative zero-emissions vehicles to suit different use cases in isolated parts of the UK.

Unveiled at Toyota's Burnaston plant in Derby, the fuel cell version of the popular pick-up, normally fitted with a 2.4-litre diesel engine, has been in development since early 2022 and has been created using components from Toyota’s second-generation fuel cell system.

Toyota claims its hydrogen-fueled Hilux is a leap towards a cleaner tomorrow

Toyota has unveiled its Hilux Hydrogen Fuel Cell Prototype. Constructed at the Burnaston vehicle plant in Derby, England, this project witnesses collaboration among various consortium partners and is supported by UK government funds. Toyota has a determined plan to roll out 10 such prototypes before the curtains fall on this year.

The intriguing powertrain of this Hilux borrows parts from the Toyota Mirai, claiming a promising range of 587 km between those hydrogen pit stops. Now, for those pinning it against conventional fuel standards, the turbodiesel 2.8-liter engine of the Hilux boasts about 1,151 km before it's begging for a refill. That's nearly twice the distance, but who's counting?

The hydrogen tanks have snugly settled between the frame rails, precisely where the cabin traditionally sits. The fuel cell components are neatly squeezed under the hood, and the battery finds its place at the rear.

A quick trip down memory lane reveals that this project sprouted its first roots in early 2022. However, it wasn't until July 1, 2022, that the gears really began to turn in terms of design and development. Fast forward to June 2023, and the first prototype was under construction.

Toyota HiLux GR Sport

The Toyota HiLux range has become even more appealing to Aussie fans with the arrival of its new flagship variant, the all-terrain performance GR Sport which enters local showrooms priced from $73,990 plus on-road costs.

The result of extensive development, including by Australian styling design and engineering evaluation teams, the Toyota HiLux GR Sport takes the desirability and capability of Australia's favourite pick-up to new levels.

Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations Sean Hanley said the new HiLux variant would deliver a new level of excitement to the HiLux range.

"This is far more than a HiLux that looks the part," Mr Hanley said. "The extensive suspension, powertrain and underbody modifications give our new HiLux GR Sport the sort of performance credentials, that, along with its renowned towing and off-road capability, will appeal to recreational enthusiasts. The first-ever HiLux GR Sport's enhanced capability and performance is a fantastic example of how our skilled engineers and designers can improve our excellent vehicles even further and we are extremely proud to have been involved in its development".

More than just a series of visual upgrades, the performance enhancements start with an increase in maximum outputs for the venerable 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine, with a 10 per cent increase in power and torque to produce 165kW/550Nm.

The six-speed automatic transmission has also been recalibrated to optimise the GR Sport's increased engine outputs.
