About the 8th generation new Hilux minor change

This time, just like overseas models, the exterior design of the regular model has been changed. The large trapezoidal grille expresses the thickness of the face, and the front configuration that supports the grille expresses strength.

The shafts of the headlamps run through the thinner grille, giving the vehicle a wider feel, and the use of Bi-Beam LEDs creates an advanced look.
