The 2020 Toyota Hilux in the Malaysian market primarily offers two diesel engine options: 2.4-litre and 2.8-litre turbocharged diesel units, with displacements of 2393cc and 2755cc respectively. The 2.4-litre variant churns out 150 horsepower and a peak torque of 400 Nm, while the beefier 2.8-litre steps things up with 177 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque - and if you opt for the 6-speed automatic, that torque figure jumps to an impressive 500 Nm. Both engines have built a solid reputation for their durability and fuel efficiency, making them well-suited to Malaysia's diverse road conditions and load-carrying demands. As a wildly popular pickup, the Hilux's engine design strikes a nice balance between everyday driving and commercial use, while also meeting local emission standards. For folks who regularly haul heavy loads or hit the trails, the 2.8-litre is the way to go. On the other hand, the 2.4-litre makes more sense for budget-conscious buyers who mainly stick to city driving.
