A few days ago we told you that the design of the new toyota tacoma was registered in the United States, one of the main markets for this medium pickup. This allowed different media to make the first projections that serve to learn more about the design that the best-selling pickup in the segment will adopt in the US market.
If we are guided by the projections of the Russian site Kolesathe design of the Toyota Tacoma will be clearly inspired by that of its older sister, the Tundra. This confirms a strategy that was already expected, with Tacoma and Tundra aligned in terms of external appearance, with very robust lines and a more aggressive design if we compare it with the current model that has been on the market since 2015.
Beyond the aesthetic changes in the Exterior design and its great relationship with the full-size truck, the new Toyota Tacoma will present innovations in the cockpit, more precisely in relation to connectivity and multimedia, perhaps with the presence of a generously sized screen and a fully digital instrumentation.
There is still nothing officially confirmed by Toyota regarding the mechanical configuration, but speculation in different media points to a gasoline engine. 2.4 turbocharged which is used by the Highlander SUV, which in this case yields about 268 HP and 42.7 kgm of torque. In addition, the same drive could be combined with an electric motor to form a hybrid system with a combined power of 371 HP and more than 55 kgm of torquereally impressive figures that could give very good benefits to the Toyota truck.
Surely in the not too distant future we will have more information about what is perhaps one of the most anticipated launches in the United States, since the Tacoma widely leads the midsize pickup segment, outperforming other vehicles like Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier and Chevrolet Coloradojust to name the best known.
