Before assessing the Stallion’s competition, let’s quickly recap the fundamental characteristics. The body-on-frame compact bakkie will have a slightly smaller form factor compared to the current-generation Hilux. The Stallion will be 5 300 mm long, 1 785 mm wide, and 1 740 mm tall, whereas the Hilux is 5 325 mm long, 1 900 mm wide and 1 815 mm tall.

No details have been released regarding what will power the Stallion, but speculation points to a 2,0-litre petrol four-cylinder serving as the motivator for Toyota’s upcoming compact bakkie model. Regarding price, the model is expected to be accompanied by an asking price of R190 000 upwards based on claims from industry sources and will take up the position as a no-nonsense appliance rather than a lifestyle bakkie.

The Suzuki Super Carry is 3 800 mm long, 1 562 mm wide and 1 883 mm tall. Additionally, the wide-eyed Super Carry has a 175 mm ground clearance and a 30-litre fuel tank.
