What is the fuel consumption of the Toyota HiLux 2019?

The 2019 Toyota Hilux shows a wide range in fuel economy, generally from about 6.7 to 10 L/100 km depending on engine, transmission and drivetrain configuration.


In 2019, the Hilux was offered with multiple powertrains and layouts, including a 2.4-litre GD-6 diesel, a 2.8-litre GD-6 diesel, and a 2.7-litre petrol option in some markets. Transmission choices (manual or automatic) and whether the truck was configured as 4x2 or 4x4 also impact consumption. Official numbers vary by region and testing cycle (ADR, WLTP, or EPA), so the figures below are representative ranges rather than a single universal value.


Engine options and typical consumption


Below are representative ranges reported for the main Hilux configurations in 2019. Values are indicative and can vary by market and test method.



  • 2.4-litre diesel (GD-6), 4x2, manual: about 6.7–7.4 L/100 km

  • 2.4-litre diesel (GD-6), 4x2, automatic: about 6.9–7.6 L/100 km

  • 2.8-litre diesel (GD-6), 4x4, manual: about 7.5–9.0 L/100 km

  • 2.8-litre diesel (GD-6), 4x4, automatic: about 7.8–9.4 L/100 km

  • 2.7-litre petrol, 4x2, manual: about 9.0–9.8 L/100 km

  • 2.7-litre petrol, 4x2, automatic: about 9.5–10.5 L/100 km


Real-world fuel economy can vary significantly from these figures based on load, driving style, terrain, climate, and maintenance. Highway cruising with light loads usually yields the lower end of these ranges, while heavy payloads, off-road use, or city driving can push consumption higher.


Testing cycles and real-world results


Official figures for the Hilux in 2019 come from regional testing regimes such as ADR (Australia), WLTP or the older NEDC/European cycles, and sometimes region-specific methods. Each cycle produces different numbers, so a 7.0 L/100 km rating in one market may not translate exactly to another. Owners frequently report that real-world results skew higher in city driving or when the vehicle is loaded or driven off-road, with 10–20% higher consumption not uncommon in tough conditions.


Summary


The 2019 Toyota Hilux offers a spectrum of fuel economy figures driven by engine choice and configuration. For planning purposes, expect roughly 6.7–7.6 L/100 km for the 2.4-litre diesel variants, about 7.8–9.4 L/100 km for the 2.8-litre diesel, and around 9.0–10.5 L/100 km for the 2.7-litre petrol versions. Always consider regional test cycles and your own driving conditions when evaluating fuel economy.
