New Toyota HiLux shown online in leaked images
Words: Andrew Sluys
Images showing details of the next-generation Toyota HiLux have been leaked online, after reportedly appearing at a preview to the Thailand Motor Expo.
Shared to Instagram by users gilvane_bailker and bfmsoficial, the images show the uncovered double-cab ute in a variety of trim levels.
With slim, aggressive headlights and a relatively flat nose, the images reflect what Toyota showed in the official Hilux teaser images that were released last week.
This includes the bolder front-end treatment featuring upswept LED headlights and C-shaped tail-light elements, signalling a sharper, more modern look for the HiLux.
As well as showing off the new body, it looks like an electric variant of the HiLux was also spotted, with its blank front grille, and potential charging port on the front left guard.
Though Toyota is claiming this HiLux is all-new, it’s believed that it will retain its current ladder-chassis frame and cabin structure.
The same goes for the ute’s engine, with the 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel likely to return. Power outputs should remain around 150kW/500Nm, with the GR Sport variant expected to continue as the performance flagship at 165kW/550Nm.
Toyota has confirmed that the next-generation HiLux will make its global debut on November 11, 2025.
