New Hilux 2012


 Toyota Hilux might not be the star in the family but recently, the Japanese automaker gave a makeover to the model for 2012.


The 2012 Hilux will receive a revised interior that features a new upper dashboard design in which a new horizontal centre instrument cluster reinforces the breadth and roominess of the cabin. It even incorporates Toyota’s Touch; a 6.1″ full-colour touch screen multimedia unit.
Furthermore, the new cabin is significantly improved in terms of design and quality, with greater colour consistency throughout the interior, and the addition of silver ornamentation.
Meanwhile, the exterior gains a redesigned front end sporting a different grille dressed in chrome, new bonnet, headlamps and front bumper. The changes continue with the redesigned front and rear wings, a new crop of 15” and 17” steel and alloy wheels, plus new door mirrors.
Through the introduction of variable nozzle turbocharging, the 2012 Hilux 2WD 2.5 D-4D models benefit from a 24bhp increase in power. The engine now develops 144bhp at 3,600rpm and 343Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm.
According to Toyota, despite the power increase, combined cycle fuel consumption has been reduced by 1.0 L/100 km to 7.3 L/100 km and CO2 emissions lowered by 26 g/km to only 193 g/km.


The on-the-road price for private registration with insurance in Peninsular Malaysia for the new Hilux are :
Hilux Double Cab 3.0G (A/T) - RM 107,250
Hilux Double Cab 2.5G (A/T) - RM 96,970
Hilux Double Cab 2.5G (M/T) - RM 91,900
Hilux Double Cab 2.5G STD (M/T) - RM 83,700
Hilux Single Cab 2.5G (M/T) (non-Metallic) - RM 73,256

Proton Inspira 2.0 Executive

Proton has introduced an Executive version of its 2.0 litre CVT Inspira – the variant replaces the 1.8 CVT Executive in the model lineup, slotting in between the 2.0 CVT Premium and 1.8 MT Executive. Most of the kit found on the 2.0 Premium is on the 2.0 Executive – from the steering wheel audio switches and paddle shifters to the auto light and rain sensors, it’s all here. What’s different, based on the feature specifications list, is that the Executive’s seats and door trim finishing is in fabric (as opposed to the Premium’s leather fitment), the wipers don’t feature automatic speed adjustment and the bodykit has been omitted. Fresh to the car is a new 16-inch wheel design. As for exterior colours, there’s no Plum Red for this one, with the Premium’s shade being replaced by Elegant Brown; otherwise, Tranquility Black, Genetic Silver and Solid White are shared by both variants.
