New version Toyota Hilux hoping to continue success

Toyota’s legendary Hilux pick-up, originally launched in 1968, has been a dominant presence in its market segment for nearly 50 years, recording global sales of more than 16 million units and a new version of the vehicle is hoping to continue the success.

Since it was launched in Ireland, more than 5,000 Hilux have been sold with many of them still on Irish roads today. The current generation was launched in 2005 and enjoyed a refresh in 2011.

Since 2011, Hilux has enjoyed a No. 1 best-selling performance in its segment every year.
