Toyota Hilux: technical specifications, description and reviews. Technical characteristics of Toyota Hilux Diesel engines Toyota Hilux

Started in 1968. Then it was a car on a small wheelbase and with a 1.5-liter engine. Now it is an attractive and powerful car that is loved and revered by tens of thousands of people. Even G Atherton, the world champion in downhill, rides it. Until 2010, by the way, the pickup truck was not supplied to Russia. But now anyone can buy it. There are 8 generations of the model in total, but now I would like to talk about the latest version.

Diesel engines

Two engines that consume diesel fuel are installed under the hoods of Toyota Hilux. The technical characteristics of each of them can be considered in more detail.

The more powerful engine is a 2.8-liter 4-cylinder 1GD turbodiesel. Its power is 177 “horses”, and it is controlled by a 6-speed automatic transmission. This unit consumes a little less than 11 liters per 100 city kilometers. In the extra-urban cycle, the same distance takes about 7 liters.

The second option is a 2.4-liter 2GD turbodiesel engine producing 150 horsepower. It comes paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Such an engine consumes slightly less than 9 liters of diesel fuel in city mode and about 6 when driving on the highway.

Both engines installed on the Toyota Hilux are popular. Their technical characteristics in terms of dynamics are not at all different - the limit of both one and the second option is the mark of 170 km/h.

Peculiarities

It is important to note that there are also gasoline units. There are also two of them. The first is a modernized 2TR 4-cylinder engine with a volume of 2.7 liters, producing 163 hp. With. The second option is more powerful. After all, with a volume of 4 liters, it produces 278 horsepower. But, unfortunately, only diesel versions are sold in our country.

Talking about the technical characteristics of the Toyota Hilux, we cannot fail to note the all-wheel drive system. On these pickup models, only the rear axle is constantly engaged. The front one is connected, but only if the driver selects the appropriate mode (via a switch on the console). It is impossible to miss the moment when traction forces begin to be distributed on both axles. The connection is rigid due to the lack of a center differential. But in general, the front wheels join when the needle on the speedometer exceeds 50 km/h.

Equipment

It also needs to be mentioned when talking about the Toyota Hilux. Technical specifications are important, but how well equipped the car is is equally important.

So, even the basic equipment package includes an impressive list of equipment and functions. Inside there is everything - from audio preparation and an armrest to power steering, a light sensor and a 12-volt outlet.

In addition to the usual options, there is an emergency call system, head lighting with automatic shutdown, central locking with remote control, a cooled glove box, halogen running lights, an immobilizer, hill start assist, an engine heater and much more.

By the way, the Toyota Hilux has a very strong body, but despite this, it also has additional impact-resistant protection. By the way, it is also installed on the rear window of the cabin.

Price

The Hilux has a fairly reasonable price, considering that it is a new car with good equipment, a reliable engine, increased cross-country ability and functionality. The “Standard” version costs from 2,020,000 rubles. But this is a model with a 2.4-liter engine. A version with a more powerful unit will cost a larger amount.

Also, the cost varies depending on the configuration. There is a Toyota Hilux, the price of which starts at RUB 2,240,000. This is a model with the Comfort equipment package. And the most expensive is the version in the maximum configuration called “Prestige”. Its price starts at 2,535,000 rubles.

The 8th generation Toyota Hilux pickup truck, sales of which started in 2015, is based on a frame with high resistance to bending and torsion. It rests on a front independent double wishbone and a rear continuous axle on springs (length 1400 mm). The suspension has three settings: Standard – for all types of roads, Comfort – for driving mainly on asphalt, Heavy duty – for maximum loads. In Russia, the car is offered only with the latest chassis version, designed for high payload, and a Double Cab with five seats.

Under the hood of the car there may be one of two completely new turbocharged diesel engines of the GD series, presented shortly before the release of the latest generation pickup truck. Units with a volume of 2.4 and 2.8 liters replaced the 2.5-liter and 3.0-liter engines of the KD series, which, by the standards of modern engines, reached retirement age (their debut occurred in 2000-2001). The 2GD-FTV engine, which has a smaller cubic capacity, is capable of delivering up to 150 hp. power and up to 400 Nm of torque, available from 1600 rpm. Its “bigger” 2.8-liter brother with the 1GD-FTV index boasts an output of 177 hp. and a torque of 450 Nm.

Each of the power units received its own gearbox. The 2.4 turbo-four works in conjunction with a 6-speed manual transmission, while the 2.8 diesel is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The distribution of traction, regardless of the modification, is handled by a plug-in all-wheel drive system with the rear axle constantly engaged and the front axle connected if necessary. There is also a reduction series with a gear ratio of 2.566. The Toyota Hilux pickup truck is ready to storm almost any off-road terrain, helped by the impressive ground clearance of 227 mm and decent approach/departure angles of 31/26 degrees. The car will not fail even when overcoming water obstacles up to 700 mm deep.

The installation of new generation turbodiesels has significantly increased efficiency. Fuel consumption of Toyota Hilux 2.4 with manual transmission, according to the passport data, does not exceed 7.3 liters per 100 km in a combined driving cycle. A car with a 2.8-liter engine at the same driving pace consumes about 8.5 liters of diesel fuel.

The transportation capabilities of the Toyota Hilux are limited by the size of the trunk (1569x1109x481 mm) and the maximum load capacity declared by the manufacturer (880 kg). The cargo potential can be increased using a trailer, the weight of which should not exceed 3.2 tons.

Frame

The 8th generation Toyota Hilux pickup truck is equipped with a ladder-type frame made with extensive use of high-strength steels (590 MPa). The optimal thickness and cross-section of the beams provide high resistance to torsion and bending.

Toyota Hilux diesel engines

GD series motors are a new development by Toyota. They are 15% more economical than their predecessors in the KD series, while having a 25% increase in torque. The improvement in technical characteristics was facilitated by the installation of pistons made of reinforced silicon-aluminum alloy, optimization of the shape of the combustion chamber, increasing the injection pressure to a maximum of 2200 bar, the use of a more compact compressor with variable geometry, the use of new software (32-bit controller), and the installation of a catalytic converter with additives urea SCR (reduces the content of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust by 99%). The introduction of new technologies made it possible to achieve a record thermal efficiency of 44%.

Toyota Hilux all-wheel drive diagram

The distribution of traction forces in the new Toyota Hilux occurs according to the Part-Time scheme. Only the rear axle is constantly engaged, and the front axle is connected only when the appropriate mode is selected. The connection is rigid, there is no center differential. The front axle is equipped with an Automatic Disconnecting Differential system, which disconnects one axle shaft, as a result of which rotation from the wheels is not transmitted to the driveshaft and it does not spin idle.

The reduction gear mechanism built into the transfer case provides a reduction of 2.566. The locking of cross-axle differentials is simulated by the A-TRC traction control system, which monitors slippage and brakes the desired wheel at a certain moment. The rear differential can be locked by pressing a button.

The transition between 2WD and 4WD modes is carried out using a switch on the center console. All-wheel drive can be turned off while driving, and turned on when driving at a speed of less than 50 km/h.
