DAPURPACUID – PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) finally officially attached a price tag to the newest variant in its commercial product line, the Hilux Rangga, Tuesday (15/10).
With a price starting from IDR 188 million on the road (OTR) Jakarta, the All New Hilux Rangga is predicted to offer a number of conveniences to entrepreneurs according to their needs.
TAM President Director, Hiroyuki Ueda said, Hilux Rangga was specifically designed as multi-purpose mobility to meet the various needs of individuals, businesses and communities.
Furthermore, Ueda-san explained, all levels of society can take advantage of the multifunctional light commercial vehicle solutions offered by Hilux Rangga for all their business needs.
“This marks an important historical milestone for Toyota which is designed to support the mobility needs of wider society and contribute to prosperity for all,” he explained on the sidelines of the launch at JIExpo, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.
The presence of the All New Hilux Rangga cannot be separated from its ‘involvement’ in the success of the Toyota Kijang as the best-selling pickup in Indonesia, since the product was first released in 1977.
Even if you look at the name alone, it certainly reminds you of one of the variants of the multi-purpose vehicle product, aka Toyota’s MPV, namely the Kijang ‘Capsule’ which was launched in 1997.
