A Legend in the making: New Toyota Hilux Raider blends style and utility
Raiding party: Toyota SA has introduced a new, high-end reimagined bakkie which now gives customers more choice across the range.
The Toyota Hilux underwent a significant model update in the latter part of 2020, boasting sharpened exterior styling, specification upgrades, a rationalised line-up, and a new flagship Legend grade.
The SRX model of old (which catered to customers requiring a blend of utility and comfort) has made way for the reimagined Raider nameplate.
Why rebadge the SRX as a Raider?
The simple answer, Toyota SA says, is that as the “bakkie” market has evolved, customers have come to expect more from even utility-biased derivatives.
