New Toyota Hilux World Premiere Live Updates: Toyota is all set to take the wraps off the next-generation Hilux, with the world premiere scheduled for today. Ahead of the debut, Toyota Motor Thailand has released the first teaser, offering a clear look at the truck’s redesigned front end. The new Hilux appears more aggressive, sporting a wider grille, slimmer LED headlamps, and a raised bumper that complements its muscular stance.New Toyota Hilux: ExteriorThe bonnet now features deeper creases, while the overall proportions look chunkier, suggesting a stronger road presence. At the rear, the truck receives fresh C-shaped LED tail lamps and a reworked tailgate that modernises its familiar silhouette. The updates point to Toyota’s intent to keep the Hilux relevant in both form and function, especially in markets where durability and reliability are key.New Toyota Hilux: InteriorInside, the cabin is expected to take a major leap forward in terms of comfort and technology. Reports indicate a new dashboard layout with a 12.3-inch touchscreen supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota has also focused on improving material quality and overall ergonomics, bringing the interior closer in feel to its passenger car lineup rather than a traditional utility vehicle.New Toyota Hilux: Engine SpecificationsUnder the hood, the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine will continue, producing around 201 hp and 500 Nm of torque. However, the big change this time is the addition of mild-hybrid technology aimed at improving efficiency and drivability. The powertrain will be paired with an automatic gearbox, offered in both rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations. The smaller 2.4-litre diesel and 2.7-litre petrol options are likely to be dropped from the lineup.New Toyota Hilux: India LaunchLooking beyond the diesel setup, Toyota is reportedly developing hybrid and all-electric versions of the Hilux for future markets. Production will remain centred in Thailand, which serves as the global hub for the pickup. Following the international debut, the next-gen Hilux is expected to arrive in India, where it will compete with the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross and Mahindra’s upcoming Scorpio-based pickup.
