Verdict
The Toyota Hilux AN220/AN230 is the far more advanced truck on paper: its two motors make 193 hp and 473 Nm, it carries seven airbags and can cover 257 km on its 59.2-kWh battery. But the RM226,300 price is RM152,301 above the RM73,999 Toyota Hilux N70 Facelift, while the newer truck is also 680 kg heavier. For a buyer seeking a used workhorse with a 76-litre diesel tank and simple five-speed manual, the N70 makes financial sense. Choose the AN220/AN230 for electric driving, safety kit and modern cabin technology.
Pick the Toyota Hilux N70 Facelift if RM73,999, a 76-litre diesel tank and a 1,775-kg kerb weight matter more than modern safety and convenience equipment.
Pick the Toyota Hilux AN220/AN230 if you can pay RM226,300 for 193 hp, 473 Nm, 257 km of EV range and a much fuller safety package.
