Toyota Kirloskar Motor showcased its new Hilux Black Edition through an exclusive test drive event in Siliguri, offering potential buyers a first-hand experience of the brand’s latest premium utility vehicle. Positioned as a high-performance lifestyle pickup, the Hilux Black Edition combines rugged off-road capabilities with luxurious features and an aggressive all-black aesthetic.
The vehicle is powered by a 2.8L four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, delivering 500 Nm of torque through a 6-speed automatic transmission. With 4X4 drivetrain, Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), Automatic Limited Slip Differential (ALSD), and a best-in-class 700mm water wading capacity, the Hilux is engineered for challenging terrains. Safety features include 7 SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, Hill Assist, Downhill Assist, and front parking sensors.
The Siliguri test drive event drew attention from business owners, adventure enthusiasts, and fleet operators, indicating strong potential in the region. Given North Bengal’s proximity to hilly terrains and off-road routes, Toyota’s strategy to engage the Siliguri market appears well-timed. Inside, the Black Edition offers dual-zone climate control, premium leather upholstery, an 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a powered driver seat—blending comfort with capability. Toyota aims to strengthen its presence in the lifestyle utility segment with this premium variant.
