2025 Toyota Hilux 2.4L SR5 Manual 4×4 vs 2.4L Manual 4×4 – What’s New, What’s Better?
Toyota’s Hilux continues to dominate the UAE’s tough terrain and global pickup markets. And in 2025, two standout variants are turning heads:
Both are GCC spec, rugged, and ready for export. But which one fits your purpose better — and what improvements do they bring over older models like 2023 or 2024?
Let’s break it down.
Engine Specs & Performance – Refined Yet Rugged
Both 2025 models are powered by Toyota’s reliable 2.4L Turbocharged 4-cylinder Diesel (2GD-FTV). But tuning and transmission differences make a real-world impact.
2025 Hilux SR5 Manual 4×4 – Technical Overview
Improved from 2024: Smoother gear shifts, better torque control, and refined ride comfort — perfect for dual use (work + family or off-road leisure).
2025 Hilux 2.4L Manual 4×4 (Standard Trim) – Technical Overview
Improved from previous years: Better load handling, simplified electronics for easier serviceability, and rugged steel suspension upgrades.
2025 vs Previous Models (2023–2024)
| Feature | 2023/2024 Hilux | 2025 Hilux Upgrades |
| Gearbox | 5-Speed Standard Only | SR5 adds 6-Speed for better control |
| Safety | 2 Airbags, Basic ABS | SR5 adds extra airbags, ESC, rear camera |
| Infotainment | 6” basic screen | SR5 adds 8” touchscreen w/ Apple CarPlay |
| Styling | Plain bumper, no chrome | SR5 adds chrome grille, side steps, alloys |
| Comfort | Standard seats | SR5 features fabric/leather seats & more cabin insulation |
| Efficiency | Decent fuel economy | Improved engine calibration in 2025 models |
Verdict:
The SR5 version brings more than just looks—its improved 6-speed gearbox allows for smoother rev control and improved hill performance, especially when loaded. That’s something the older 2023–24 models didn’t offer.
