New Electric Pickup Model Will Have Modern Design, Double Cabin, and May Arrive in Brazil Challenging Even Fiat Toro
Toyota has just confirmed its new electric pickup, a new model smaller than the Hilux, scheduled for release in Europe in 2026. With a monocoque body and double cabin, the new pickup is expected to be based on the Toyota EPU Concept, unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show 2023, according to the website Terra.
What to Expect from the New Electric Pickup from Toyota?
The model features a design inspired by SUVs and elements aimed at a lifestyle audience. Additionally, it will include innovative technologies for greater versatility. Check out some of the main features:
- Impressive Dimensions: 5.07 m in length, 1.91 m in width and 1.71 m in height – measurements close to the Ford Maverick;
- Generous Wheelbase: 3.35 m, surpassing Ford’s pickup by 28 cm;
- Modern Body: black plastic details on the doors and fenders, plus black-painted “A” pillars creating a floating effect on the roof;
- Functional Bed: foldable rear seat back, expanding the space from 1.35 m to up to 2.40 m with the tailgate open!
- Futuristic Interior: minimalist dashboard, Yoke-style steering wheel (semi-circular, like in Teslas) and console with integrated table.
Additionally, the new pickup will be 100% electric, but there are chances of hybrid and even combustion variants for some markets.
