New-Gen Toyota Hilux Teased –
Toyota’s lifestyle pickup will be getting a generational update this month. The latest teaser reveals the front-end of the model with more modern and rugged aesthetics. We already know that the new model will get a honeycomb pattern grille, along with slim LED headlamps. The side profile remains largely unchanged; however, it now sits on a new set of alloys.
The same exterior update is also expected to be carried over to the new-gen Fortuner that could arrive by early 2027. This is because both the Hilux and Fortuner share the same platform.

The teaser didn’t reveal anything related to the interiors of the model. However, we are expecting this pickup to boast several changes on the inside. The model will feature a new dashboard layout, a new interior theme, and a new steering wheel. The feature suite on the model is expected to include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, 9-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and more in its package.
Similar to the exteriors, the interior updates are also expected to be equipped on the new Fortuner. However, that SUV would get more features like a panoramic sunroof and a JBL sound system compared to the new-gen Hilux.

The Toyota Hilux is expected to retain the 2.8-litre diesel engine (201bhp & 500Nm) from the current outgoing model. Transmission duties will be handled by a manual or a torque converter automatic gearbox option. We are also expecting the inclusion of a 48V mild-hybrid setup with the new Hilux, as the Fortuner already has it.
