Toyota has finally announced the price of the much-awaited Hilux. The new Toyota Hilux starts at Rs 33.99 lakh, which makes it much more expensive than the only other pick-up truck available in the Indian market – the Isuzu V-Cross. It’s even costlier than stable-mate Fortuner, which starts from Rs. 31.39 lakh.
The Isuzu V-Cross BS6 starts at a price of Rs 16.98 lakh, ex-showroom. It is double the price of the Isuzu V-Cross but both vehicles belong to different segments. The Toyota Hilux is much more luxurious and is bigger in size compared to the Isuzu.
Toyota has already started delivering the Hilux pick-up to the dealerships and customer deliveries are expected to begin soon. Toyota earlier stopped taking new bookings officially due to an overwhelming response from the market.
