The runner is the hi-lux, which is marketed as the hi-lux surf and hi-lux pickup. I think it's sold as the hi-lux just about everywhere except the US, where the name is changed, some high-profit options are thrown on (eg, you have to get the running boards if you want the sport package, etc.), and the price is jacked up $20K.

First paragraph This year, the motor show which is held at the many places of the world, that the car manufacturer in the world competes, announces the new SUV, it seemed like whether to a considerable degree it is motor show for the SUV of. Like consent, the SUV from charm of the styling and the like which makes non- every day feel in addition to the practical aspect such as various use characteristics and mobility with the off load, entire has recorded favorable sale world. The new SUV where the Japanese-American European car manufacturer is putting effort into development of the SUV, especially, in North America which is the large market, size together exceeds 10 in these several years was thrown. In addition, the new SUV is thrown even in the Japanese country.
2nd On the basis of this kind of circumstance, the キラリ it shines in the SUV which is number, you thought we would like to make the car where the young person yearns the " stylish SUV ", I tackling the development of the new hyrax surf, was defeated in keyword. The merit is the next 3 points.
3rd (point 1) The sharp maneuverability and high rigid platform which actualizes pliant riding comfort shows the real value not only, actualizes the efficiency where in the on load is superior at the time of off loading to which the SUV is questioned efficiency. This off load and compatibility at the level whose on load efficiency is high were pursued. Point 2 The wheel base, it expanded the full-width and after guaranteeing the interior space of worldwide level, material feeling of interior, it pursued the silent characteristic which is a match to the high-class sedan, furthermore high-class audio and the equipment which it is easy to use it was complete, it was comfortable and upper quality the interior space was actualized.
Point 3 Even if you use with the high performance and you do not permit any to which the selfishness is good, impairs the styling. That, is the DNA of the hyrax surf. In the hyrax surf individual light image where external design collected strong body design to the high lift, succeeds from the first generation, being city, it granted the スポーティ impression of being refined. Interior design fuses design and the forcibleness which are refined youthfully, the スポーティ of new feeling produces the interior.
conclusion In the SUV which is number in the world, the car which has the individual existence impression with style and the high performance which are refined, that is the new model hyrax surf. In many people you can use widely from urban use to the レクリエーショナルユース including the young people, you think we would like you to taste the charm.

What I understood:
Introduction: Blah blah blah blah blah
Point 1: We put a rigid chassis in it unlike those other puny SUV's. We made it capable on road, but not to the point that it was crap off road, like those other puny SUV's. We tried to make a capable vehicle for both the off road warriors and the mall runs.
Point 2: Spacious Blah blah blah
Point 3: Stylish Blah blah blah
Conclusion: SUV's are the #1 selling vehicle so we had to make it a bit more like an SUV and a bit less like a rock crawler truck, Sorry.
