    Adding the potentially life-saving tech to one of Toyota’s most legendary products, the HiLux Invincible X also adds black-coloured exterior trim such as mirror caps and door handles, an all-black interior with piano black details and new dials.

    While Toyota in Australia is yet to introduce AEB and advanced safety technology to its local HiLux line-up, a company spokesperson told CarsGuide the safety features would be launched here "at the next possible opportunity".

    "We are looking at introducing that technology at the next possible opportunity, but there are no immediate announcements to be made,” he said.

    Ford recently added AEB to every Ranger model for 2019 and both the Mercedes-Benz X-Class and SsangYong Musso are also equipped with AEB through their respective ranges. Most of the Mitsubishi Triton range is also equipped with AEB as standard.

    The HiLux is as capable off-road as ever. The HiLux is as capable off-road as ever.

    In 2018, the HiLux was Australia’s best-selling vehicle with 51,705 sales locally, ahead of the Ford Ranger’s 42,144 units.
