Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) introduces the enhanced Hilux Raider lineup for 2024, featuring innovative 48V technology, refreshed styling, and an extensive range of Toyota-approved accessories, reinforcing its status as a leader in reliability and versatility.
Innovative 48V Technology
The highlight of the 2024 Hilux Raider is the incorporation of Toyota’s cutting-edge 48V technology, initially showcased at the World Rally Championship in Kenya. This technology, now available in select Hilux and Fortuner models, enhances both performance and efficiency. By integrating a motor generator, 48-volt battery, and DC/DC converter into the robust 2.8-litre GD-6 turbo-diesel engine, Toyota achieves significant improvements in power delivery and fuel economy. Drivers benefit from a 12kW power boost, 65Nm torque enhancement, and up to 10% reduction in fuel consumption, thanks to the seamless stop-start system and enhanced engine efficiency during acceleration and deceleration.
Refreshed Hilux Raider Design
The 2024 Hilux Raider undergoes a striking visual upgrade with a redesigned front bumper, honeycomb mesh grille, and new fog lamp bezels, marking a departure from traditional chrome accents to sleek black finishes. The 2.8 models receive additional upgrades such as black side mirrors and door handles, while the interior boasts leather seats with 8-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. The Raider 48V variant includes smart entry, push start, and Multi-Terrain Select for enhanced off-road capability, catering to drivers seeking both style and functionality.
Toyota-Approved Lifestyle Accessories
Complementing its rugged design, the Hilux Raider offers a comprehensive range of Toyota-approved accessories designed for adventurous lifestyles. From roof racks and rooftop tents to bike carriers and solar panels, these accessories are tailored to enhance utility and versatility, ensuring the Hilux Raider remains adaptable to diverse customer needs. Collaborating with trusted suppliers like Ironman 4×4 and Thule, Toyota ensures these accessories maintain high quality and competitive pricing, available through its extensive dealer network across South Africa.
Connected Service and Customer Experience
To further enhance customer convenience, Toyota offers the MyToyota platform, providing owners with easy access to vehicle-related information and services. Additionally, new Toyota vehicles feature in-car WiFi capabilities and Connect services, empowering drivers with enhanced connectivity and digital convenience on the go.
Pricing and Warranty
The 2024 Hilux Raider lineup is priced competitively to offer exceptional value, with variants equipped with 48V technology commanding a slight premium over standard models. All Hilux Raider models come standard with a 9-services/90,000km service plan and a 3-year/100,000km warranty, with options to extend service and maintenance coverage through Toyota’s extensive dealer network.
