All-new Ninth-Generation Toyota Hilux Ushers in a New Era with First BEV Variant

Since its inception, the Toyota Hilux has earned legendary status for durability, performance, and value. A decade after the eighth-generation launch, the 2025 ninth-generation Hilux continues this legacy while introducing the brand's first fully battery electric vehicle (BEV) pickup, reflecting Toyota’s “multi pathway” approach.

Distinctive "Cyber Sumo" Styling

The 2025 Hilux adopts a bold “Cyber Sumo” design, balancing toughness with a futuristic, advanced aesthetic. It features a redesigned front and rear with the “TOYOTA” wordmark replacing the traditional logo. The front sports a sharper, aggressive look highlighted by a body-colored grille and updated LED headlights. Standard LED taillights complete the new exterior.

Cabin and Interior Upgrades

The central body structure—cabin, doors, roof, and glass—remains mostly unchanged from the previous model. Inside, the Hilux introduces a fully revamped cabin inspired by the Toyota Land Cruiser. The interior emphasizes a squared, functional layout with conveniently placed physical buttons to enhance usability.
