All-New Hilux Debuts Globally with All-Electric Powertrain

Toyota has unveiled the ninth-generation Hilux, introducing an all-electric powertrain for the first time while retaining the reliable 2.8-litre diesel engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system. The new model also features a full redesign both inside and out, incorporating advanced technology and a more modern look.

Design Updates

The latest Hilux draws inspiration from the recent Toyota Land Cruiser SUV. The front showcases sleek LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights (DRLs) and a bold, closed-off grille prominently displaying the "TOYOTA" badge. The robust bumper enhances its tough appearance with a muscular design, silver accents on the lower section, and LED fog lamps integrated on each side.

From the side, the Hilux maintains its iconic dual-cab silhouette and flatbed layout, complemented by aerodynamically styled alloy wheels. The electric variant includes a charging flap located on the front fender.

At the rear, the truck features vertically stacked C-shaped LED taillights and a blacked-out bumper. Notable details include a “TOYOTA” badge on the flatbed gate and high-mounted brake lights situated above the flatbed handle.

Powertrain Options

Toyota confirmed a hydrogen fuel-cell electric version of the Hilux is scheduled to arrive in 2028.

The new Hilux focuses on combining rugged utility with modern technology and sustainable powertrain options, marking a significant evolution of the popular pickup.

Author’s summary: Toyota's all-new Hilux brings a contemporary design, a new all-electric option, and plans for future hydrogen power, redefining the iconic pickup for the next decade.
