Does the 2018 Hilux have a turbo?

Yep, the 2018 Toyota Hilux does come with a turbocharged engine. Specifically, it's packing the 2.4-litre 1GD-FTV turbo diesel. This engine isn't just about more power-it also steps up the fuel efficiency game, making it a solid fit for Malaysia's mixed bag of road conditions. Turbo tech works by cramming more air into the cylinders, which means better combustion, more horsepower, and more torque. The 2018 Hilux's turbo engine puts out around 150 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, which is pretty impressive. On top of that, turbo engines hold their power better at higher altitudes, which is a nice perk for folks in some of Malaysia's hillier areas. Toyota Hilux has always been known for being tough and reliable, and adding that turbocharged punch to the 2018 model just made it even more competitive-no wonder it was one of the most sought-after pickups in Malaysia back then.
