ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- The Toyota HiLux Rogue is a legend, but does the 2024 model live up to the hype? In this in-depth review, I analyse its rugged new design, upgraded interior, powerful engine, and off-road prowess.
We'll cover:
Performance and Handling: How does the engine and updated suspension perform?
Interior and Comfort: Is the Rogue a comfortable daily driver? Tech and material improvements?
Towing and Payload: How does it handle heavy loads compared to rivals?
Off-road Capability: Can the Rogue tackle tough Australian terrain?
Value for Money: Is it worth the premium over other Hilux models and competitors?

Good review. I’ll be ordering one soon, mainly to use as a family car, with the intention to go on longer trips. It might be as comfortable as a Ranger, but for a round trip of our beautiful country, I wouldn’t trust any other vehicle apart from this beautiful and reliable Toyota
Thanks for your feedback and I’m sure you’ll love your new car!
I'm actually in the market for a new 4x4 dual cab ute at the moment and have been test driving a range of models. The new gen Triton has some nice features, but the lack of in-dash cup holders in anything but the top GSR model is very disappointing, as is the fact you can't fold up the rear seats for storage. But the interior multimedia unit seems top notch and the instrument panel a lot more modern than the current Hilux.
As for the 'manual' handbrake, I think it is probably better in terms of longevity and in the event of an electrical problem. An electric handbrake isn't necessarily a deal breaker (like having to control air conditioning from a touch screen would be), but the manual option is my preference.
As for the Hilux v Ranger, well, everyone I know (except one) who's had a Ranger has had major issues with it. The one who hasn't also had an issue (the Motorised roll cover didn't work when we were camping and it started raining) - but I don't consider that a 'major' issue (though it did happen within 3 months of buying the car!). In any case, my point is I'm not even test driving the Ranger.
I would love to see a review of the SR5 with the 48v (so-called V-Active) technology. One thing not clear from your review, since the Rogue doesn't have the V-Active option, is whether it misses out on Toyota's new Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) technology or if that's only available on a V-Active equipped SR and SR5?
Thanks for your comment and for the great feedback!
I’m currently on my way to the Bangkok International Motor Show and hope to have further information for you on the 48v Hilux variant.
This Rogue doesn’t have the MTS option.
I have a few reviews of the new Triton range coming up and will be able to share some good insights shortly, the new Triton’s infotainment unit definitely is a winner though.
💯 mate , Hilux is the best Ute in the world. I drive a sr5. Best value in my view is the workmate with the 2.4 engine.
Thanks for your feedback and for watching!
Great review mate. I’ll be ordering mine very soon in this beautiful black colour. Hilux all the way for reliability
Appreciate the feedback and for watching! Helps massively
Beautiful vehicle
Certainly is!
I got one it's a beautiful ride offroad uo here in Cape york, deadly all round car 👌🏾❤️
Very nice! Thank you for watching and for sharing!
Are you running stock suspension?
Great review! I am torn between Isuzu Dmax X Terrain and 48v Rogue... What are your views on both?
Thank you! I’m a big fan of both, the interior screen has me sold on the D-Max every time, however the raised suspension and wider track of the Hilux Rogue is tough!
Hey
Will this car be good option for off road driving as well ?
Of course!
Review is good, but that is not the 2024 model Hilux.
Thanks for watching and for the comment.
A review of the Facelift MY24 HiLux will be done once the model lands in Australia, including the 48V variants.
@roadtrip_reviews . Just purchased the 48v. So just waiting on delivery now.
Plastic side steps for that price just looks really cheap
I agree. Could have had tougher side steps to match the car
As a big Toyota fan, Toyota has gone to absolute shit, same old 2.8l and same old design fukn disgusting, the reverse camera on this car looks like it got dunked in shit everytime you put it in reverse, shame
100% agree that the reverse camera quality is trailing other key brands, although I must say they’ve done a good job at keeping this car a usable work ute while “beefing” it up a bit and done the mechanical work required to do so.
Also; thank you for watching and for sharing
