Toyota updates HiLux, HiAce and Granvia ranges

TOYOTA Australia has introduced modest upgrades to its HiLux, HiAce and Granvia ranges in what it says is a reflection of its commitment to continually improve its models based on feedback from customers.

The changes see HiLux SR extra-cab and double-cab variants adopt black-painted 17-inch alloy wheels in lieu of the existing steel rims, and body-coloured door handles to replace the black raw finish items found on its predecessor.

For SR5 double-cab grades, Toyota has added new safety features including a blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert system, a panoramic view monitor (360-degree camera) and puddle lamps, which replace the heated mirrors of the outgoing model.

Toyota Australia says all SR5 grades and above – including the forthcoming HiLux Rogue – have the existing steering column lock replaced with a new ID Box anti-theft device which works in tandem with the HiLux’s smart key to provide “an extra level of security”.

The 2022 Toyota HiLux range now starts from $24,225 for the single-cab chassis Workmate and tops out at $64,430 for the double-cab pick up SR5+. Price increases of $1250 are found within the HiLux 4x2 range while the 4x4 range also sees price rises of up to $1250.

Toyota has not yet advised pricing for its wide-body HiLux Rogue, which is due in showrooms from October.

Changes to the HiAce commercial van range see the introduction of a new barn-door option available optionally alongside the existing top-hinged single tailgate.

The vertically split doors come with dual wipers on LWB models, says Toyota, and are offered on all LWB and SLWB variants except for the HiAce Crew, Commuter and LWB manual van versions. The barn doors may be opened to 90- or 180-degrees for ease of loading.

Further, all HiAce and Granvia grades now gain powered lumbar support for the driver’s seat.

The HiAce range is now priced from $44,760 for the LWB manual van through to $72,760 for the HiAce Commuter GL, up by between $109 and $670. Graniva models are priced from $62,250 to $75,950, up from between $100 and $109.

As previously, the HiLux range continues to be offered with the choice of 2.7-litre petrol (122kW/245Nm) or 2.4-litre turbo-diesel (110kW/400Nm) four-cylinder power on Workmate grades with SR, SR5 and SR5+ variants receiving a 2.8-litre turbo-diesel (150kW/500Nm) unit.

The latter engine is also fitted as standard across the HiAce and Granvia line-ups, but is detuned to produce 130kW/450Nm (and 120kW/420Nm in Commuter variants).

“Toyota always strives to bring the best possible vehicles to market, and these upgrades have been implemented with our valued customers in mind,” said Toyota Australia vice president of sales, marketing and franchise operations, Sean Hanley.
