Toyota Hilux hybrid arrives in 2026 with futuristic design and sustainability: New GENERATION of Brazil's most beloved pickup truck
The new Toyota Hilux hybrid will be launched in Brazil in 2027. The pickup truck will be manufactured in Argentina before arriving at Brazilian dealerships.

Scheduled to debut in 2026, the new Toyota Hilux promises to surprise with unprecedented hybrid technology, bold design with LED headlights and a 2.8 turbodiesel engine adapted to global standards. Discover how the pickup truck aims to redefine the market against competitors such as the Silverado and RAM.

Who doesn't know the Toyota Hilux? The robust and reliable pickup truck that has won over drivers around the world is ready to surprise once again. In 2026, Toyota will bring the ninth generation of the Hilux, now with hybrid technology and a design that promises to be revolutionary. Are you curious to know what's coming?

The ninth generation Toyota Hilux: What to expect?

The Hilux, one of Toyota's most iconic pickup trucks, will have big changes in its ninth generation. Photographed for the first time in Thailand, the pickup truck already displays promising details, even with the camouflage. With an official launch scheduled for the second half of the year, the new Hilux promises to combine robustness with cutting-edge technology, maintaining its essence, but with a touch of modernity.

The front grille will be divided into two distinct parts: a rectangular area on the bumper and another closer to the hood. This separation will give it a robust and futuristic look. The bumper will include an air intake and strategically positioned circular fog lights.

The headlights have also been given a new look, being thinner and equipped with LED bulbs and projectors. A daytime running light line at the top complements the look, bringing modernity and safety. Triangular details just below the headlights add a unique aesthetic touch.

Hybrid technology: The future of Hilux

The model is expected to be launched first in Thailand in 2026. In Brazil, the expectation is for a launch that combines technology and sustainability to win over even more fans.

In addition to the design, the big news is the hybrid engine. Toyota is betting on a 48V system combined with the 2.8 turbodiesel engine. This means energy efficiency, lower pollutant emissions and compliance with European sustainability standards.

The system uses a battery to power auxiliary electrical components, reducing fuel consumption and optimizing engine performance. This technology is already a success in other markets and now it's here to revolutionize pickup trucks.

For Brazilians, the wait will be a little longer, as the production of the new Hilux will take place in Argentina and its arrival in Brazil is scheduled for 2027. However, the inclusion of the hybrid model reinforces Toyota's commitment to sustainability in emerging markets.

Global production and arrival in Brazil

The new Hilux will be launched first in Thailand, with distribution to other markets later. Meanwhile, production in South America is expected to be concentrated in Argentina. This strategy ensures that the model meets the specific needs of each region while maintaining competitiveness.

Hybrid Hilux vs. competitors: Silverado and RAM on the radar

How does the Hilux compare to its competitors, such as the Silverado and RAM? Despite being robust options on the market, Toyota offers an important difference: hybrid technology combined with innovative design. The Hilux promises to be a sustainable and economical option, ideal for those looking for power without sacrificing energy efficiency.

With the ninth generation of the Toyota Hilux, the automaker raises the bar in the pickup truck market. Combining hybrid technology, modern design and traditional robustness, the model promises to win even more admirers. Are you ready for the new era of pickup trucks? The Hilux 2026 will be a milestone in sustainability and innovation in the segment.
