Toyota introduced a second refresh for the eighth generation of the Hilux in 2020, especially for European countries, where, among other design upgrades, it also introduced a more powerful engine.
While the world was locked down in their homes due to the pandemic, Toyota followed its plans of refreshing the Hilux range. It still offered the vehicle with a choice of three cab versions, with the Double Cab at the top. The refreshed model was updated on the exterior, where the most visual changes happened. In addition, the automaker didn’t forget to keep up with technology and introduced a few new improvements to the interior, making people happier, even if they had to pay some extra money to get them. At least these were available. However, the most significant improvement for European buyers was found under the hood, where they finally got the engine that Australians, Asians, and customers from Africa had.
At the front, the 2020 Toyota Hilux Double Cab had a redesigned fascia featuring a broad hexagonal grille with black accents and the chromed automaker’s badge. In addition, a satin chromed trim adorned the upper side of the front fascia. At the same time, two angular-shaped black slats went down towards the skid plate placed underneath the bumper. The automaker also added new scoops for the fog lamps.
From its profile, the 2020 Hilux Double Cab revealed its black trims mounted around the wheel arches, emphasizing the vehicle’s off-road character. A set of black side steps was available, creating a strong visual connection between the front and rear fenders. Toyota also reshaped the door mirror caps, which integrated the turn signal lamps. At the back, the car manufacturer installed a black trim for the tailgate handle that also integrated the rearview camera. A significant visual difference was found in the triangular taillights. They had the same overall shape but sported new rectangular lamps and used LED technology.
The 2020 Toyota Hilux Double Cab came with interior upgrades in the tech department. While the overall design of the dashboard was the same, the automaker offered a new eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supported wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition, customers could use the integrated navigation unit if they didn’t want to use online programs such as Google Maps. Since customers used the Hilux as a sports truck for recreational use, Toyota offered the option of a powerful JBL sound system. Leather upholstery was still available, while base models still used fabric seating.
However, the most significant upgrade for European customers was the introduction of the 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine, which was previously reserved only for other markets due to emission regulations. Toyota managed to get it Euro 6d certified and made it available for the Old Continent. This version came to complement the already existing 2.4-liter turbodiesel. Both variants were paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic, and the upper grades received an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential.
