All-new Ninth-Generation Toyota Hilux Launches First-Ever BEV Variant

Since its debut, the Toyota Hilux has earned an iconic reputation for durability, performance, and value. Now, ten years after the eighth generation, the 2025 ninth-generation Hilux builds on this legacy while introducing a major milestone: the first fully battery electric (BEV) Toyota Hilux. This move aligns with Toyota's “multi pathway” strategy for electrification.

The new Hilux features what Toyota calls a “Cyber Sumo” styling motif, presenting a tough, futuristic, and advanced appearance. The pickup showcases a revamped front and rear with the “TOYOTA” wordmark replacing the traditional logo. The front end has a sharper and more aggressive design, including a body-colored grille and redesigned LED headlights. LED taillights are now standard.
