Overview
- The Hilux BEV uses a 59.2 kWh LFP battery and two motors for permanent all-wheel drive, targeting about 240 km WLTP range with roughly 715 kg payload and 1.6 tonnes towing.
- Production of the BEV begins in Thailand in December 2025 with orders in Europe and Australia planned from early 2026, as Toyota signals limited volumes and a significant price premium in Thailand.
- Toyota says the BEV prioritizes short-range commercial use, offering DC fast charging with a reported 20–80% top-up in roughly 30 minutes and underbody battery protection for off-road durability.
- A 48V mild-hybrid diesel arrives from spring 2026 with up to 1,000 kg payload and 3.5 tonnes towing, complementing continued petrol and diesel offerings in select markets.
- The new model keeps a ladder-frame chassis and double-cab format, adds a De-Dion rear setup for the BEV, and is slated to gain a fuel-cell variant in 2028; entry-level and single-cab versions with a manual gearbox remain available in some markets.
