The new Toyota HiLux has impressive power across the range. It produces excellent handling and stability and attention is paid to high-speed maneuverability and handling dynamics. Three different engines provide excellent acceleration from take-off and offer smooth response when accelerating to pass in the mid to high-speed ranges, even while towing or carrying a load.
The 2.7 litre 4-cylinder petrol engine delivers 116kW of power (240Nm torque)^ and the 4.0 litre V6 petrol engine delivers 175kW (376Nm torque auto / 343Nm torque manual). Both petrol engines have VVTi (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) technology for improved efficiency and performance. Equally impressive is the 3.0 litre Electronic Direct Injection (EDI) turbo diesel with 126kW of power (and a thumping 343Nm torque!)^.
HiLux's unbreakable reputation comes as much from phenomenal engine reliability as structural strength and durability. There is a choice of three powerful engines including 2.7-litre petrol, 4.0-litre petrol (both with VVT-i technology for improved efficiency and performance) and 3.0-litre turbo diesel with Electronic Direct Injection. These are all available with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a choice of 4-speed or 5-speed automatic transmission with gated shift (model dependent).
Each engine runs at its optimum level with the assistance of a microcomputer and Common Rail Fuel Injection System that detects operating conditions, controls common rail pressure, injection timing and fuel volume.
This engine features EDI (Electronic Direct Injection) and a common rail system for improved almost "petrol-like" levels of performance and efficiency. The common-rail system improves combustion efficiency while the variable vane turbo charger maximises low-end torque and provides a sharper response.
Updates to the turbo-diesel engine enable it to meet EURO IV emissions regulations. The catalytic converter has been increased in size, which has the effect of increasing the surface area of the material that aids the absorption of air pollutants such as nitrous oxides and CO2, releasing fewer toxins into the environment.
An engine gas recirculation system has been added. An EGR valve re-circulates exhaust into the intake stream. Since exhaust gases have already combusted, they do not burn again when they are re-circulated. These gases displace some of the normal intake charge. This cools the combustion process by several hundred degrees, thus reducing nitrous oxide formation.
The program of the engine computer unit (ECU) has been reconfigured to encourage more complete combustion, to reduce excess gases being released into the environment.
