Toyota calls it “The Most Aussie HiLux Ever”
Toyota Australia’s Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations, Sean Hanley, described the 2025 Toyota HiLux as the most Australian-developed model yet.
“The HiLux has long been one of Australia’s favourite cars, trusted by customers to perform day in, day out, whether hauling tools to the job site or camping gear to the furthest reaches of the country,” Hanley said. “It is a vehicle that is baked into Australia’s identity, so it is fitting that this new-generation HiLux can lay claim to being the most Aussie HiLux ever.”
The design and development were heavily influenced by Toyota’s Australian engineering teams, underscoring the ute’s strong local DNA.
2025 Toyota HiLux lineup and powertrain
The 2026 HiLux lineup will be available in five grades, catering to both trades and lifestyle buyers:
- HiLux WorkMate

Every model is powered by Toyota’s 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, paired with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, depending on variant.
V-Active 48V Mild-Hybrid System
Select 4×4 automatic variants of the 2025 Toyota HiLux SR and SR5 now feature Toyota’s V-Active 48-volt mild-hybrid system, which integrates an 8.5kW/65Nm electric motor-generator. This system improves take-off response, enhances fuel efficiency, and reduces noise and vibration, making the HiLux smoother to drive without compromising durability.

Key takeaways for buyers
The 2025 Toyota HiLux stays true to its reputation as Australia’s go-to ute, tough, dependable, and built to last. It’s now more refined inside, with better tech and comfort, and Toyota’s push toward hybrid and hydrogen power makes it feel future-ready.
Still, it’s not without flaws. The ride remains firm, the higher trims are pricey, and some rivals like the Ford Ranger offer a smoother everyday drive. Details on tray capacity are yet to be confirmed, and the hydrogen model won’t arrive until 2028.
In short, the new Toyota HiLux is for buyers who value proven reliability over plush comfort. It’s a workhorse first, lifestyle ute second, but one that continues to deliver where it matters most.
