Toyota Kirloskar Motor has confirmed that the new-generation Hilux will launch in India on July 28, 2026. The new model will arrive with a design change as well as with better equipped.

According to expectations, the new Hilux will continue to retain it’s rugged appearance but with some refreshed exterior changes.

The new Hilux gets a sharper front-end design with a larger grille, slimmer LED headlamps, and a redesigned bumper. The silhouette remains familiar, but fresh alloy wheels and subtle updates at the rear help give it a more contemporary look.

Step inside, and the cabin is where the difference is likely to be most noticeable. Toyota is expected to introduce a completely revised dashboard with a larger touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, and a 360-degree camera. Overall, the interior should feel far more modern than the current model.

Under the bonnet, there aren’t expected to be any major changes. The Hilux will most likely continue with the tried-and-tested 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox. The four-wheel-drive system with a low-range transfer case will also continue, preserving the pickup’s strong off-road credentials.

Toyota is also expected to strengthen the safety package. Along with six airbags, vehicle stability control, hill assist, and downhill assist control, higher variants could benefit from an expanded ADAS suite with features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert.

The current Hilux is priced from Rs. 30.40 lakh (ex-showroom). Considering the added equipment and the comprehensive updates, expect the new model to carry a modest premium when Toyota announces prices on 28 July.
