Toyota is readying the next-generation Hilux – one of the world’s favourite bakkies – for an official reveal on Monday, 10 November 2025. But already some of the car’s key Eastern markets like Australia and Thailand have revealed these teaser pictures of the Hilux’s silhouette.
What is quite apparent is that this is a rather heavy update, rather than an all-new car. Some are calling it an extreme facelift, but a facelift nonetheless. From our limited perspective we see a masculine design, with a strong front end, contoured bonnet and J-shaped rear lights. At this point one cannot tell how much longer and wider this car is compared to the current model.
However, we do know that it will also be manufactured at the company’s Prospecton Plant in Durban from 2026 as is the current model, with a choice of powertrains and include the trusted 2.4-litre and 2.8-litre turbo diesels, a Hybrid of some sort and a fully-electric model, although the latter is not necessarily for Mzansi.
