2021 Toyota Hilux Adventure now on sale in UAE and GCC

Toyota’s workhorse pickup is now available in a “consumer” trim, as the the 2021 Toyota Hilux Adventure is now available in dealerships across the GCC. The Adventure version is fittingly on display at the Dubai Festival City mall right now, signifying that for the first time in the UAE, a variant of the Hilux can be bought by any expat individual rather than just by companies and nationals.

Externally identifiable by its unique bumpers, lights, 18-inch wheels, plastic wheel arch extensions, unique door handle and tailgate designs and a skid plate below, the Hilux Adventure comes with a 235 hp 4.0-litre V6 with 376 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic and four-wheel-drive. The suspension is said to be updated with new shocks, rear leaf springs and bushings.

Inside the vehicle, the black cloth upholstery and trim is complemented with a new multi-information display and 8.0-inch centre console infotainment unit, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. It also comes with a rear bed-liner and tonneau cover as standard as well as a rear-view camera, parking sensors (with something called parking support clearance sonar), LED rear lamps and on-board air compressor.

For the exterior, there are eleven colours available including white, orange, silver, grey, blue, red, bronze and black.

Priced at Dhs 143,000, it seems competitive enough compared to its obvious rival, the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, and far cheaper than the overpriced Jeep Gladiator.
