Toyota Hilux Raider gains fresh look! SA prices revealed…

Toyota SA Motors has updated its Hilux Raider extended- and double-cab derivatives with fresh front-end styling. Here’s how much these new-look bakkies cost…

Back in February 2024, the Toyota Hilux was handed fresh front-end styling overseas. Now, Toyota South Africa Motors has applied this new look to the extended- and double-cab versions of its Hilux Raider trim level.

From what we can tell, single-cab Raider derivatives seemingly stick with the old design, as do the limited-edition Raider X double cab variants (though we suspect the latter will soon fall away).

Note the new grille treatment, as well as the revised foglamp bezels.

So, what do these design revisions entail? Well, the Hilux Raider’s updated face features a new-look matte-black grille and front bumper, combined in what the Japanese automaker describes as an “interlocking design with an octagonal grille, trapezoidal lower section and bold outer bumper”.

Judging by the images of the Prospecton-produced model, there’s also a fresh foglamp-bezel design, as well as a black rear bumper and black side-mirror caps (double-cab derivatives furthermore score black exterior door handles). It’s not yet clear whether any updates have been made to the cabin nor whether the list of standard specification has been expanded.

Xtra Cab Raider derivatives score black side-mirror caps but do without black exterior door handles.

As before, however, the Hilux Xtra Cab line-up includes 2 Raider derivatives, each using the familiar 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine, which delivers 110 kW and 400 Nm to the rear axle via either a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic transmission with the same number of cogs.

The updated 2.4 GD-6 Xtra Cab Raider 4×2 6MT is priced at R563 200, while the 2.4 GD-6 Xtra Cab Raider 4×2 6AT comes in at R587 200. For the record, these new prices represent a R4 900 increase in each case.

Meanwhile, there are again 8 Raider derivatives in the double-cab portfolio, powered either by the same 2.4 GD-6 engine mentioned above or the larger-capacity 2.8-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel mill (which generates 150 kW and 500 Nm). The latter powerplant is, of course, furthermore offered in 48V mild-hybrid form.

What about pricing for the dual-cab models? Well, the updated Raider double-cab derivatives start at R612 100 and run through to R876 600, with increases of R4 900 in the case of the 2.4 GD-6 derivatives and R10 600 for the 2.8 GD-6 variants.
