Toyota Hilux: Revo N80 Facelift vs AN220/AN230

Toyota Hilux Revo N80 Facelift

Toyota Hilux Revo N80 Facelift

Verdict

The Toyota Hilux Revo N80 Facelift is the rational Malaysian workhorse choice at RM123,600, leaving a huge RM102,700 in hand against the RM226,300 Toyota Hilux AN220/AN230. Its 2.4-litre diesel makes 148 hp and 400 Nm, but the newer electric model answers with two motors producing 193 hp and 473 Nm, plus far more driver assistance and cabin technology. The catch is a 257-km EV range, 2,455-kg kerb weight and a much higher purchase price. Buy the AN220/AN230 for its equipment and EV driving; buy the N80 Facelift when acquisition cost matters most.

Revo N80 Facelift

Pick the Toyota Hilux Revo N80 Facelift if you want the RM102,700 cheaper five-seat pickup with an 80-litre diesel tank, 18-inch wheels and a 2,075-kg kerb weight.

AN220/AN230

Pick the Toyota Hilux AN220/AN230 if you can pay more for 193 hp, 473 Nm, a 59.2-kWh battery, 257-km range and modern active safety equipment.
