Toyota Sets November 10 Thailand Debut for Heavily Updated 2026 HiLux

The long-running ute receives a major facelift that retains its ladder-frame underpinnings.

Overview

  • The first official teaser from Toyota’s Thai division shows slimmer upswept headlights, C-shaped vertical tail-lights, new alloy wheels and retro-style TOYOTA script front and rear.
  • Leaked images point to a redesigned cabin with a larger infotainment touchscreen—reported up to 12.3 inches—and a digital instrument cluster with styling cues similar to the latest LandCruiser Prado.
  • The update is a heavy refresh rather than a clean-sheet redesign, with carryover doors and roof panels on a continued IMV-type ladder-frame platform.
  • The 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel is expected to remain the core engine with available 48V mild-hybrid assistance, while the future of the 2.4-litre diesel and 2.7-litre petrol in some markets is unclear.
  • A battery-electric variant is hinted by a leaked product slide shown to media, and Thai-market reports suggest the model may adopt the Hilux Travo name locally.
