Overview

The Toyota Hilux BEV represents a breakthrough innovation for the legendary pick-up, introducing battery electric power to the ninth generation without sacrificing any of the model's renowned Quality, Durability and Reliability (QDR).

As part of Toyota's multipath philosophy, the Hilux BEV offers zero-emission performance while maintaining the fundamental strength of its signature body-on-frame construction. It's specifically engineered for off-road performance with measures to protect the battery from damage or water ingress.

This electric pick-up will have particular appeal to fleet customers seeking a vehicle that combines zero emission performance with everyday practicality, uncompromised QDR and genuine off-road capability. The market roll-out commences with the BEV model from December 2025.
