Official Filing Details 2026 Toyota HiLux for Australia, Reveal Tipped for Late November

Overview

• Australian ROVER certification lists a HiLux AN2 program with new GUN2 model codes, with the filing taking effect on September 29, 2025.
• The documents name two 2.8‑litre 1GD‑FTV engines—HI high‑output automatic and MHV 48‑volt mild‑hybrid—with no petrol options listed for Australia.
• Analysis of the model codes suggests a streamlined local range that may drop the 2.7‑litre petrol, the 2.4‑litre diesel and the extra‑cab body style.
• A centre airbag for the first row is confirmed in the certification, bringing safety equipment closer to key competitors.
• Multiple reports point to a world premiere at the Thailand Motor Expo from November 28 to December 10, which Toyota has not yet confirmed, as the update retains the ladder frame with new exterior styling and a revised, screen‑led cabin.
