Toyota Hilux N70 vs N80 Digital Instrumentpanel: Vilken passar din Hilux?
If you already want a Hilux digital dash, the next question is more important than screen size: which Hilux generation is actually in front of you?
Snabbt svar: 2005–2014 vehicles normally follow the older Hilux / Vigo / N70 route. 2016–2024 vehicles follow the newer eighth-generation Hilux / Revo route. 2015 is the transition year and should not be selected by registration year alone.
For a 2015 Hilux—or any vehicle where the dashboard does not clearly match the expected generation—iKAGOO checks the original powered-on instrument cluster and dashboard before the final digital-cluster route is confirmed.
Toyota Hilux N70 vs N80: Why a 2015 Hilux Must Be Checked Before You Buy a Digital Cluster
Toyota's own Hilux generation history places the seventh-generation Hilux through 2015 and records the eighth-generation Hilux launch in May 2015. That is why a simple rule such as “2015 always means N70” or “2015 always means N80” is not safe enough for an instrument-cluster order.
In aftermarket fitment language this generation is commonly associated with terms such as Hilux N70 och Hilux Vigo.
Production timing, market introduction and registration date can create overlap. Check the actual vehicle.
Aftermarket buyers commonly search this later generation using Hilux N80, Hilux Revo and related fitment terms.
The practical buying rule is therefore simple: use the year to narrow the search, then use the actual dashboard and original instrument cluster to confirm the product.
Is Your Original Hilux Instrument Cluster Working Normally?
Generation identification does not replace basic vehicle diagnosis. The iKAGOO digital cluster is an upgrade for a normally operating instrument system—not a repair for an unresolved original fault.
Stop here and diagnose the original problem first. If the factory instrument system cannot operate normally, fitting an LCD cluster will not repair the underlying vehicle or instrument-system fault.
Now the fitment question becomes useful. Identify the correct generation, confirm the original cluster layout, then select the digital-cluster product route designed for that vehicle.
If you are still deciding whether you should repair or upgrade at all, read the Toyota Hilux Instrument Cluster Replacement guide before choosing a digital product.
Which Toyota Hilux N70 vs N80 Digital Cluster Route Should You Choose?
2005–2014 Hilux / Vigo
These vehicles normally fall into the older iKAGOO 2005–2015 digital-cluster product family.
- Common search term: Hilux N70 Digital Dash.
- Hilux Vigo is also widely used for this generation.
- 12.3-inch Linux LCD product route.
- No coding on supported versions.
- MPH ↔ km/h menu switching on supported versions.
2015 Hilux
Do not choose the digital cluster from registration year alone. This is the vehicle that deserves the most careful pre-purchase check.
- Check the actual vehicle generation.
- Check the powered-on original cluster.
- Check the surrounding dashboard.
- Confirm market and LHD/RHD.
- Let iKAGOO route the vehicle before shipment.
2016–2024 Hilux / Revo
These vehicles follow the newer iKAGOO 12.3-inch digital instrument-cluster route.
- Common search term: Hilux N80 Digital Dash.
- Hilux Revo / Rocco are useful regional search terms.
- 12.3-inch Linux LCD product route.
- Multiple digital UI themes.
- Coding and speed-unit setup are confirmed for the selected version.
Hilux N70 vs N80 Digital Instrument Cluster: Which Features Are Actually Confirmed?
Both products are digital instrument-cluster upgrades, but the verified claims are not identical. iKAGOO keeps those boundaries separate instead of using one Hilux specification for every model year.

This distinction matters because a confident but incorrect specification creates more risk than a careful confirmation step.
Compare the Real Hilux Digital Dash Routes Before Ordering
This is why a listing that simply says “Toyota Hilux digital instrument cluster” is not enough. The screen size can look similar while the vehicle generation, housing, original cluster and setup route are different.
Toyota Hilux N70 vs N80 Digital Cluster: Upgrade, Compatibility and Installation Scores
The two products answer the same three buying questions, but the values come from their own current product records. This article does not average or invent a new comparison score.
Both are strong upgrades when the owner wants to modernize the driver-facing cockpit rather than simply keep a normally functioning original gauge layout.
The older 2005–2015 route scores 90/99. The newer 2016–2024 route currently scores 92/99. Neither score means a working factory cluster must be replaced.
The 2005–2015 route has a current canonical 94/100 Near-OEM Match. The 2016–2024 route is currently 90/100 provisional strong match.
The difference is important. The newer product has good physical, visual and installation evidence, but its exact coding requirement and speed-unit setup should still be confirmed against the selected vehicle/version instead of being advertised universally.
Both routes require real instrument-area work. The original cluster must be accessed and removed, the matched product connected correctly, and vehicle information checked before final dashboard reassembly.
L3 means an experienced DIY owner familiar with dashboard work may be comfortable with the job, but an automotive-electronics installer is the safer route for buyers who do not regularly remove instrument trim.
Why iKAGOO Does Not Ask You to Guess Your Hilux Generation
The service value in a vehicle-specific digital cluster is not simply answering “yes, it fits.” It is knowing when there is not enough evidence to say that yet.
If the vehicle does not match the expected product route, it is better to identify that before shipment than to discover it after the dashboard has already been opened.
How iKAGOO Confirms the Correct Hilux N70 or N80 Digital Cluster Route
You do not need to diagnose every Toyota chassis code yourself. The useful information is the evidence that identifies the actual vehicle configuration.
