In Australia, the 2023 Toyota HiLux’s headline act is the 2.8‑litre turbo‑diesel.

It makes 150 kW and 500 Nm with the auto (manuals get 420 Nm) via a 6‑speed, and it’s the one most buyers pick. Some base 4x2 variants run a 2.7‑litre petrol around 122 kW/245 Nm if you prefer revs over torque. Properly set up, the diesel 4x4 can tow up to 3,500 kg braked. Expect roughly 7–8.5 L/100 km for the 2.8 diesel, while the petrol lives nearer 10–12 L/100 km. It’ll haul tools all week and your pride on weekends.
