Last month, Toyota showcased the IMV 0 concept at the Tokyo Motor Show. It is said to spawn an affordable pickup, which according to the latest reports, could be called \u2018Hilux Champ\u2019.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest that the Hilux Champ would be the first IMV 0-based model. It is likely to be launched in Thailand by 2025.<\/p>\n
Unlike the standard Hilux, the IMV 0-based offering could be more utilitarian. It is likely to come in multiple body styles designed for different applications.<\/p>\n
While mechanical details of the Hilux Champ are not known, reports suggest that it could use a 2.4-litre diesel engine from the Innova Crysta paired with an automatic transmission. Toyota might offer the Hilux Champ in 2WD and 4WD configurations. A strong hybrid powertrain could also be on the cards.<\/p>\n
