Toyota Hilux Invincible

The 2019 Toyota Hilux 2.4 D-4D Invincible represents a significant evolution from its predecessors, combining rugged durability with modern refinements. While retaining the iconic Hilux DNA of reliability and off-road prowess, this model introduces a downsized but more efficient 2.4L turbocharged diesel engine (replacing the older 2.5L unit), delivering 148 bhp and 400 Nm of torque – a 12% improvement in low-end pulling power. The adoption of Toyota's Euro 6-compliant D-4D technology reduces NOx emissions by 40% compared to previous Euro 5 models, making it ULEZ-compliant and more environmenta...lly conscious. Key mechanical upgrades include an enhanced 4WD system with Active Traction Control and an improved suspension setup that maintains payload capacity (1,085kg) while offering 15% better ride comfort on paved roads. Externally, the 2019 refresh brings LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights, revised chrome grille styling, and 18-inch diamond-cut alloys – a departure from the 17-inch wheels on pre-2016 models. Inside, the Invincible trim adds premium features like dual-zone climate control (replacing manual AC), an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay (new for 2019), and synthetic leather upholstery – upgrades that position the Hilux closer to premium SUVs in cabin quality. Safety sees major improvements with Toyota Safety Sense, including autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning – technologies absent in earlier generations. Towing capacity remains class-leading at 3.5 tonnes, now with a standard trailer sway control system for improved stability. Practical enhancements include a 220V bed-mounted power outlet and front/rear parking sensors paired with the existing camera system. While maintaining its workhorse roots, this Hilux generation strikes a refined balance between commercial durability and lifestyle-oriented features that earlier models lacked.show more
