Performance & Dimensions

Engine capacity	2.8 L
Cylinders	4 note Normalised from the string "Inline-4" to the integer 4. Toyota South Africa Motors states "Number of Cylinders and Arrangement" = "Inline 4" for derivative code B1K. The catalogue census of found this was the ONLY non-numeric value in the field across all 55 records — an outlier, not a competing convention.
Power	150 kW
Torque	500 Nm
Transmission	Automatic 6-speed
Gears	6 note Gear count read from this record’s own structured transmission field ("Automatic 6-speed"). Normalisation of an existing sourced value into its own field, not an external specification lookup — provenance is that of the transmission value, not a manufacturer statement of gear count.
Drivetrain	4x4
Consumption cycle	Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer) note Toyota South Africa gives a combined figure without naming the test cycle.
Fuel consumption	7.5 L/100km note Renamed from an out-of-schema 'consumption_combined_l_100km' field to “Fuel consumption”; value unchanged (7.5 L/100km combined).
Fuel tank	80 L note Toyota South Africa Motors vehicle-specification data for derivative code B1K, field "Fuel Tank Size (L)" = "80".
Fuel grade	Diesel (50ppm)
Range	1 066 km note Worked out from the tank size and the claimed consumption, rounded down.
0-100 km/h	11.9 s note 11.9 seconds, Toyota’s UK claim (0–62 mph) for the same 2.8 48V Hilux.
CO2 emissions	197 g/km

Width	1 885 mm
Height	1 865 mm
Wheelbase	3 085 mm
Ground clearance	312 mm note Toyota South Africa Motors vehicle-specification data for derivative code B1K, field "Ground Clearance (mm)" = "312".
Boot (behind 2nd row)	N/A
Boot (behind last row)	N/A
Boot (seats folded)	N/A
Kerb weight	2 155 kg note Renamed from an out-of-schema 'kerb_weight_kg' field to “Kerb weight”; value unchanged (2155kg).
Gross vehicle mass	2 950 kg note Toyota South Africa Motors vehicle-specification data for derivative code B1K, field "Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM)" = "2950".
Payload	795 kg note GVM 2 950 kg minus kerb 2 155 kg = 795 kg, both from the exact derivative column of Toyota SA spec sheet (issued 2026/09/04), 4X4 LEGEND MHEV 6AT column, — South Africa. Toyota UK’s figures were deliberately NOT used: UK gives GVW 3 210/3 250 kg and payload 1 035-1 065 kg, a different homologation. SA payload is derived from SA figures only.
Towing (braked)	3 500 kg note Moved from the bakkie group (loadbox-only) to core, where towing fields belong per schema.
Towing (unbraked)	750 kg note Moved from the bakkie group (loadbox-only) to core, where towing fields belong per schema.

Safety

Safety rating	5 stars (ANCAP 2025)
Airbags	7 note Toyota SA Hilux Legend spec sheet lists airbags as Side, Curtain, Driver, Passenger, Driver Knee; the count of 7 is derived by counting side and curtain as pairs (2 side + 2 curtain + driver + passenger + driver knee), per the standard configuration.
Airbag positions	Side, Curtain, Driver, Passenger, Driver Knee note Toyota South Africa Motors vehicle-specification data for derivative code B1K, field "Airbags" = "Side,Curtain,Driver,Passenger,Driver Knee". Toyota’s own itemisation. Airbag COUNT deliberately not inferred from it.

Electrification

Electric-only range	N/A
Battery (gross)	0.21 kWh note And flagged: NO manufacturer in ANY market publishes a kWh rating for this pack. Toyota publishes the pack as 4.3 Ah, 13 cells, lithium-ion, 7.6 kg, housed under the rear seats; 48 V x 4.3 Ah = 206 Wh, recorded as 0.21 kWh. pdf, "Diesel 48V" row, — United Kingdom ("Lithium-ion", "4.3Ahr", "13" cells) and the Toyota Europe newsroom release for the Hilux Hybrid 48V, which confirms the ninth generation uses a 48V lithium-ion battery beneath the rear seats. This is arithmetic on manufacturer-published inputs, not a manufacturer figure — hence derived.
