Invincible
A YEAR ago Hilux was on top of the world, the first car to be driven through the Arctic wastes to the magnetic North Pole.
Now it is top of the pile again with a new range-topping model that is Britain's most powerful production pick-up.
The Hilux Invincible 200 Double Cab is equipped with a Toyota Motor Sport diesel engine performance kit that transforms the performance of the 3.0 litre D-4D engine.
Power is increased from 169 to 194bhp and maximum torque rises from 343 to 430Nm, generated all the way from 1,600 to 3,200rpm, making the Invincible 200 more powerful than any of its market rivals.
What's more, the hike in output brings no penalty in fuel consumption or emissions compared to the standard Invincible. The new Hilux flagship enjoys a superior specification, too, with exclusive two-tone leather upholstery, heated front seats, steel mesh front grille and black metallic paint finish.
These are in addition to regular Invincible features, including darkened rear privacy glass, full-map touch screen satellite navigation, scuff plates and metallic finish alloy wheels.
Just 500 examples will be available, on sale from 1 July. The commercial vehicle on-the-road price is £21,540 for the manual version and £22,640 for the automatic, which additionally features cruise control as standard.
Service intervals are two years/20,000 miles.
