The 2026 Toyota HiLux diesel arrives with a bold new exterior, redesigned interior, and improved on- and off-road performance. It retains reliability and ruggedness across every grade.
Exterior Design
Designed by Toyota Australia, the HiLux uses a “Cyber Sumo” theme with slim headlights, sharp lines, and redesigned front and rear ends for a modern, robust look.
Interior and Technology
The cabin features a new three-tier dash, digital instrument cluster, and 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Toyota Connected Services for enhanced convenience.
Engine, Power, and Performance
The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine delivers 150kW and 500Nm with automatic transmission, or 420Nm with a manual gearbox. 48-volt V-Active tech improves start-stop function and low-speed torque.
Suspension and Off-Road Capability
Front independent coil springs and rear leaf springs vary by grade. SR5 and above prioritize comfort, while WorkMate and SR support heavy-duty load carrying. 4×4 models include rear locking differential and Multi-Terrain Select.
Advanced Safety Systems
Toyota Safety Sense includes pre-collision braking, lane trace assist, road sign assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front/rear parking sensors across all grades.
Additional Features
Electric power steering improves handling, lane-keeping, and comfort. Hydraulic engine mounts and shear-type cabin mounts reduce vibration and enhance stability.
Summary
The 2026 Toyota HiLux diesel blends rugged reliability, 2.8L turbo performance, advanced tech, and modern design. Comfort and off-road capability are fully upgraded.
