New Toyota Hilux Revealed
Toyota has officially unveiled the ninth-generation Hilux, one of the most eagerly awaited vehicle launches this year. The reveal occurred in Thailand, a significant market for Toyota’s pickup production and release.
Model Overview and Launch Details
This new Hilux arrives ten years after the current model debuted. It continues to be the best-selling vehicle in South Africa, produced locally at Toyota’s Prospecton plant in Durban. The global introduction is scheduled for 2026 and includes a variety of configurations.
Powertrain Options
- The new Hilux introduces a battery electric vehicle (BEV) version alongside updated internal combustion engine (ICE) models.
- Engine types and availability will vary by country, with Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) to announce local specifications.
Design and Features

Slim LED headlights and LED daytime running lights extend across the upper front section. A black horizontal bar replaces the usual Toyota badge with bold “Toyota” lettering.
The Hilux remains a key player in the pickup segment with its combination of tradition and modern innovation.
Author's summary: The ninth-generation Toyota Hilux blends classic design with electrification, marking a key upgrade with a BEV option and a launch planned for 2026 worldwide.
