Hilux, one of Toyota’s most powerful pickup trucks, is currently in its 8th generation. It will finally undergo a major facelift in 2024. While making its debut in the international market, this off-road vehicle has undergone many updates from the inside out.

Although the car will hit the international market in March, interested Indian customers will have to wait longer. It will be launched in the country at the end of this year.
