JAKARTA - Recently, Toyota officially launched the IMV series with the IMV 0 model for the Thai market. The car, known as the 'Rangga Concept', has opened its booking period in Indonesia.

The presence of this model also answers the mobility needs of customers who need commercial vehicles in Thailand.

Interestingly, for the IMV series, Toyota decided to return to its origin to create a pickup truck at an affordable price.

Reporting from Toyota's official website, Monday, November 27, the car, known as Hilux Champ, was introduced in 11 customization models that offer eight levels that cover various styles and business use in the country.

The deck has a bolt hole in various locations so that customers can easily customize using bolts and nuts. Toyota also partners with 100 accessories manufacturers so that customers can enjoy the option.

Available with short and long versions of wheelbase, the car offers three types of engines, namely 2.0 liters of gasoline and 2.7 liters of diesel with a capacity of 2.4 liters. The manufacturer also provides the type without equipment with flat decks.

The choice of the machine will later cooperate with the two-wheel drive system (2WD) as well as the option of transmitting five manual accelerations and six automatic accelerations.

The Hilux Champ or IMV 0 will be produced locally in Thailand, namely the Samrong factory. Toyota put the price for this pickup at 459,000 to 577,000 baht (around Rp202.6 million to Rp254.8 million).

Previously, the car was exhibited at several automotive events, such as the 2023 Japan Mobility Show (JMS) last October and the 2023 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) in August.
