The 2026 Toyota Hilux is expected to launch in India in July 2026. Having debuted globally in November 2025, the ninth-gen Hilux introduces major changes over its predecessor, which was launched in India over four years ago. The new Hilux continues to be built on the Toyota IMV body-on-frame platform.
Under the bonnet, the new Toyota Hilux is expected to retain the current model’s 2.8-litre diesel engine, but with a 48V mild hybrid system added. Gearbox options are likely to comprise a 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic, with 4x4 fitted as standard.
On the outside, the new Toyota Hilux introduces a sharper, more modern design language while still retaining rugged proportions. It gets slim high-set LED headlamps, large vertically oriented tail-lamps with C-shaped DRL signatures, Toyota wordmarks on the front and rear, a honeycomb-patterned grille, muscular bumpers, 17-inch alloy wheels, and squared-off body cladding.
The new Toyota Hilux interior is a much more modern and premium affair over its predecessor too. The all-new dashboard layout is dominated by dual 12.3-inch displays, along with a chunky three-spoke steering wheel and an abundance of physical controls. As for features, the new Hilux packs terrain and drive modes, dual-zone climate control, a wireless charging pad, a blind-spot monitor, connected car tech, powered and ventilated front seats, multi-terrain and 360-degree cameras, over-the-air (OTA) updates, an ADAS suite, driver drowsiness detection, and more.
