The all-new Hilux’s introduction builds on a heritage established over more than half a century and more than 27 million global sales. Throughout its history, Hilux’s success has been founded on its core Quality, Durability and Reliability, qualities that remain central to its latest evolution.

True to its customer-centred approach, Toyota is not offering a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, the all-new Hilux aligns with the company’s multipath philosophy to provide a choice of powertrains suited to different customer requirements and preferences, and operation in different driving conditions. Thus, the new model will be offered with two electrified powertrains: a 2.8-litre diesel engine supported by a 48V hybrid system – the option that will be the volume seller in Europe – and a battery electric version, both of which will be on display in Brussels. In selected markets, diesel and petrol combustion engines will also be available.

In line with customer preference, the all-new Hilux will be offered exclusively in double-cab format, providing a convenient combination of practical load-carrying and performance capabilities for business and a comfortable, well-equipped cabin, together with an extensive Toyota T-Mate active safety and driving assistance provisions.

The sharp new exterior design, developed on a “Tough and Agile” theme, projects fundamental strength and a powerful, contemporary look. Under the skin, the pick-up retains the body-on-frame construction concept that has underpinned its exceptional off-road performance across successive generations.

The all-new Hilux will be introduced in Europe from next April with the BEV model, followed by the Hybrid 48V version from July 2026. Further details of performance, equipment features, and local pricing will be announced in due course.

All-new Hilux with Hybrid 48V powertrain

The all-new Hilux adopts the Hybrid 48V system which was introduced in the current model earlier this year. The 2.8-litre diesel engine is supported by a 48V lithium-ion battery, giving quieter, smoother and more refined performance – qualities that are particularly noticeable when starting off and under acceleration. There are further benefits in fuel efficiency and lower CO₂ emissions compared to the non-hybrid diesel powertrain.

The Hilux’s load-carrying capabilities are maintained: maximum payload is one tonne, and towing capacity is 3.5 tonnes. Likewise, the design and positioning of the hybrid components do not compromise the model’s “go-anywhere” ruggedness; Hilux can wade through water up to 700 mm deep. The driver is further supported in off-road conditions by the availability of a Multi-Terrain Select system that optimises vehicle performance when driving over different terrains, as well as a Multi-Terrain Monitor and Panoramic View Monitor for precise manoeuvring on challenging surfaces.

All-new Hilux BEV

The introduction of the first battery electric Hilux creates a new proposition: a version of the “unbreakable” pick-up with zero tailpipe emissions. In introducing full electric power, Toyota has ensured the qualities that define Hilux and underpin its enduring success are retained, equipping it to meet the demands of business customers who require Quality, Durability and Reliability, together with serious off-road capability, but need to operate with zero CO₂.

The Hilux BEV uses a 59.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and front and rear eAxles to secure permanent all-wheel drive. The system develops 205 Nm of torque at the front axle and 268 at the rear. Final WLTP homologation data show up to 257 km of driving range in the combined cycle, and up to 380 km in the city cycle. The Hilux BEV offers 715 kg payload and 1.6-tonne towing capacity.

The model shares the same practical body-on-frame construction as other Hilux versions, with its BEV system providing smooth, effortless and silent power delivery. Optimal weight balance, electric power steering (to be standard across all Hilux models) and suspension engineering contribute to stable, secure and comfortable performance, while unique to BEV variant shift by wire technology allows for smooth gear changing.

The electric powertrain, including the battery unit, has been packaged and installed so that superior off-road performance is maintained: ground clearance is 212 mm and maximum wading depth matches other Hilux versions at 700 mm. A Multi-Terrain Select system has been developed specifically for use in a BEV, adapting braking and torque to provide enhanced control in challenging conditions.

With the addition of Russia and Ukraine, the Hilux is now available in 36 countries across Europe..

Hilux has been the segment leader in Europe since 2009. Despite the shrinking of the European pick-up segment, the Hilux has maintained its best-selling position in 2010, with a segment share of 21.6 % ².

The Toyota Hilux is the only pick-up available with a separate ladder chassis on all three body types - Single Cab, Extra Cab and Double Cab..

With a choice of 2.5 litre, 144 hp and 3.0 litre, 171 hp D-4D diesel engines mated to manual or automatic transmissions (only with 3.0l), the Hilux offers customers the widest model line-up in the European pick-up segment.

Toyota is continuously improving the Hilux line-up in response to the requirements of customers in the work, leisure and adventure arenas.

To that end, the towing capacity of the 2010 Hilux 4WD has been increased by 250 kg to 2.5 tons.

Already available on the 3.0 litre D-4D, the high, SR+ grade was made more accessible through its availability with 2.5 litre D-4D models. SR+ incorporates automatic airconditioning, sports seats, side and curtain airbags, 17" alloy wheels and Vehicle Stability Control.

The Hilux also features a comprehensive range of accessories, which increase the pick-up's comfort and practicality in both work and leisure environments. This range includes side steps, hi-over bars, a cargo manager and a hard top with side windows and a rear door.
