Toyota has unveiled the most aggressive, most advanced - and most Australian -hero versions of the nation's best-selling vehicle, HiLux.

In this latest update, the new HiLux Rogue and HiLux Rugged X have been endowed with substantially higher performance and innovative new features.

Toyota Australia's significant role in developing and evaluating the 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, rear suspension and hydraulic power steering was supported by teams from Japan and Thailand, as well as representatives from other markets.

The upgraded 1GD turbo-diesel engine now develops 150kW and 500Nm, gains of 15 per cent and 11.1 per cent.

A wider, stronger-looking grille for Rugged X features a defined surround and bold 3D mesh that integrates with a new bonnet and dark headlamps that sit above body-colour infill panels to give them an even more distinct appearance.

The steel bumper design was preserved, but details like the driving light bezels have been re-designed to integrate with the new grille theme and lower bash plate that now proudly displays the Toyota brand in black.

Other Rugged X styling enhancements include bolder, more pronounced over-fenders combine with newly designed, chiselled jet-black 17-inch wheels, along with signature decals on the bonnet and rear quarter panel - all of which give the vehicle an even more purposeful look.
