The 2026 Toyota HiLux debuts Nov. 11, 2025, with new styling, tech, and a possible electric version, but trails Ford Ranger in 4×4 sales and lacks key powertrains.

The 2026 Toyota HiLux will debut on November 11, 2025, featuring a redesigned front with upswept headlights and C-shaped LED tail-lights, a new dashboard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a carryover ladder-frame platform. Powertrain updates may include a 2.8L turbo-diesel with a 48V mild-hybrid system, while the future of the 2.4L turbo-diesel and 2.7L petrol engines is uncertain. An electric variant could launch in Malaysia within a year, though availability in Australia is unclear. Despite leading in 4×2 sales, the HiLux trailed the Ford Ranger in 4×4 sales in 2023 and 2024, with the Ranger remaining Australia’s top-selling vehicle. The HiLux still lacks the Ranger’s turbo-diesel V6 and plug-in hybrid options.
