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

• 2.8 L turbo diesel (1GD‑FTV) continues, now paired with a 48‑V mild-hybrid system, delivering around 150 kW and 500 Nm.
  
• 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.
  

Design & Off-Road Readiness

• 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.
  
• Expect Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 with pedestrian AEB, lane-centering cruise control, blind-spot alerts, surround-view camera, and more.
  

The Goal with the New Hilux

The 2026 Hilux promises to build on its legendary reliability with fresh styling, mild-hybrid efficiency, and high-tech safety—ensuring it stays as Australia’s top-rated dual‑cab ute.
