Earlier this month, Toyota South Africa Motors quietly added six new automatic derivatives to its local Hilux range. And now we can confirm that a small handful of specification changes will also be made as this expanded 32-variant line-up is rolled out.

All 2,8 GD-6 derivatives – across the single-, xtra- and double-cab ranges – (plus the sole remaining 4,0-litre V6 petrol model) will gain new LED headlamps, along with fresh 18-inch alloy wheels.

Meanwhile, Raised Body Raider and Raider variants powered by the 2,8-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine (and, again, that one V6) will furthermore benefit from LED foglamps up front.

This range update will be accompanied by a price-hike that varies from R1 200 to R18 900, depending on model. Interestingly, a single variant’s pricing (the 2,4 GD-6 RB SRX double-cab) is unchanged.

As reported earlier, the local arm of the Japanese automaker has introduced new automatic versions of six existing manual models, including two self-shifting 2,4-litre models. The news came after the brand quietly added a new 2,4 GD-6 4×4 AT model to its Fortuner range.

Interestingly, Toyota SA Motors also opted to cull one of its two V6 petrol-powered double-cabs. While the 4×4-equipped version survives, the rear-wheel-drive 4,0 V6 RB Raider AT double-cab was removed from the October price bulletin.

We should learn a little more about the tweaked range next week, when the updates are officially presented to the media. For now, take a look at how the pricing has changed on each derivative below…
