According to recent leaks and spy shots, Toyota‘s eighth-generation Hilux is poised for a major mid-cycle makeover, debuting in late 2025 for global markets with an Australian launch likely in early-to-mid 2026.

Hilux Powertrain & Efficiency

• A likely 2.4 L 2GD‑FTV diesel option remains for entry-level models.
  
• Future variants may include hybrid petrol or even a full-electric BEV version as Toyota expands its electrification plans.

• Expect sleeker front styling with a hexagonal mesh grille, thin LED DRLs on the bonnet edge, and vertical fog lights.
  
• The side profile retains its ladder-frame chassis, with a wider track, enhanced fenders, and improved geometry for performance.
  
• Rear gets modern LED tail-lights, updated tailgate, and integrated step bumpers.
  
• Off-road models (e.g., GR and TRD variants) will likely include electronic locking diffs, selectable terrain modes, and rugged suspension.

🛋️ Interior & Tech

• Cabin upgrades include full 12.3″ digital instrument cluster, up to 14″ infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, over-the-air updates, and possibly a panoramic sunroof.
