The 2022 Hilux Legend is a version of Toyota’s famous Hilux pickup that blends the toughness, utility and reliability the Hilux is known for, with extra comfort, features and a more up-market feel.
Under the bonnet of the 2022 Hilux Legend is Toyota’s 2.8-litre turbo-diesel “GD-6” engine — a four-cylinder turbodiesel.
Output: ~ 150 kW and ~ 500 Nm of torque.
Transmission: 6-speed automatic on auto variants. Drivetrain depending on spec: 4×2 or 4×4 available
The diesel engine + 6-speed auto combo makes the Legend capable of either practical work or relaxed cruising, offering a balance of sufficient power for towing/loading and usable economy for daily driving. Some reported average fuel consumption (in certain conditions) around 8.0 L/100 km.
The Legend typically comes in a double-cab 4-door body style, with seating for five adults — making it more versatile than a single- or extra-cab work bakkie.
Load-bin / cargo capacity remains functional for loads, work gear or leisure gear. Toyota appears to have balanced the suspension for a smoother ride when lightly loaded — meaning the Legend rides better on tar and town roads than “hard-core” load-biased bakkies.
The cabin offers more comfort and convenience than basic Hiluxes: leather (or leather-trimmed) seats, power-adjustable driver seat (on Legend variants), modern infotainment and convenience features (on specified trim/market).
