While the patent did not go into detail as to how it works, it is likely that it will drop into neutral when the accelerator is released at cruising speeds, all while the transmission is slotted into a gear. I found the decor appealing, with the mix of colour and textures lending the HiLux a premium feel. These initiatives have resulted in a direct and smooth driving experience with superior fuel efficiency, which has been improved by 6% over the existing transmission system.

And who knows - maybe TRD will give it to buyers as an available option? Konishi said that they wanted more people to have that fun-to-drive feeling. Ask anyone familiar with driving a manual transmission, and the answer is always the same - three pedals is just better when it comes to that all-important driver-car connection. In typical Toyota style the manual transmission offers a terrific ratio spread and is clean shifting.

Toyota HiLux SR5 4WD Dual-Cab Road Test The Toyota HiLux was due for a refresh… as were a number of its rivals. Sampled here in high-grade, diesel, manual format, the big-selling ute proves more dynamic and refined than ever before. But is it enough to help it claw back its number-one sales spot? After a successful 10 years in the Australian market, has arrived to continue the momentum set by its strong-selling predecessor… hopefully. But when reviewed in isolation — and sampled purely on-road — the HiLux shows a lot of merit. In typical Toyota style the manual transmission offers a terrific ratio spread and is clean shifting. The engine offers torque low in the piece with 420Nm on offer from 1400-2600rpm allowing gear shifts earlier than in some other utes, further saving fuel. Using no more than 2000rpm it was easy to keep pace with traffic while driving in an economic manner. The four-cylinder engine develops maximum power of 130kW at 3400rpm, and in Sport mode delivers a real surge through the mid section of the tacho, generating more mumbo for hills and overtaking. We should note, however, that it feels quicker than the numbers show. The ride and handling is a big step up in the HiLux; almost SUV-like. While the steering is a whisker heavy and the ride a tad firm, the HiLux handles its weight and height quite well in corners. It also communicates enough to allow accurate placement though tight, multi-lane roundabouts and narrow lanes and driveways. Entry to the HiLux is assisted by A-pillar grab handles. The door apertures are as good up back as they are up front a lot of dual-cab rear seats are a squeeze to get in to , and cabin space is rather generous. The front seats are well sculpted and supportive, and the driving position is bettered by a tilt-and-reach adjustable steering column and thoughtfully-placed ventilation outlets. All controls and secondary switchgear fall easily to hand. The dual-dial instrument panel and its Volkswagen-esque central information read-out is also user-friendly, replicating most of the features found on the central touchscreen. The infotainment screen accesses the usual gamut of phone, navigation, reverse camera and audio settings via simple landing buttons. The sat-nav works well as does the DAB+ digital radio reception. I personally prefer rotary dials and hard buttons, but the duplication of controls on the steering wheel alleviates any issues created on the main screen. Switchgear elsewhere is of a high quality, ditto the wiper and indicator wands. I found the auto-headlight sensor overly sensitive, and lamented the lack of sunroof, acoustic rear parking sensors and aforementioned sliding rear window all offered on the Nissan Navara ST-X. Visibility is good all-round — the broad bonnet helps wheel placement and the wide rear window eliminates blind-spots. I found the decor appealing, with the mix of colour and textures lending the HiLux a premium feel. Service intervals are set at six months or 10,000km while the warranty period covers three years or 100,000km again, whichever comes first. Increased towing capacity, load-hauling and off-road ability also add to its increasingly all-round appeal.

These clutches stop the drive system rotations, which transmit driving force to rear wheels when in 2WD mode, significantly reducing energy loss and improving fuel efficiency. Its small size contributes to improved fuel efficiency. Sampled here in high-grade, diesel, manual format, the big-selling ute proves more dynamic and refined than ever before. This enables the size of both belt and pulley components to be reduced. A new parallel reduction gear format helps to reduce the loss in the transaxle.

The system activates when sensors detect that coasting is intelligent manual transmission.
