Additionally, the system incorporates regenerative brakes, which reuse the energy generated during braking, ensuring a smoother and more economical ride. The compact layout allows the battery, weighing only 7.6 kg, to be installed under the rear seats without compromising interior space.
Innovative Features and Robust Design
The Toyota Hilux hybrid has not lost its distinctive characteristics. The model maintains a towing capacity of 3,500 kg, a payload of up to 1,000 kg, and a ground clearance of 310 mm.
New features like the Multi-Terrain Select system offer six driving modes: Sand, Mud, Rock, Dirt, Snow, and Auto. These modes automatically adjust the vehicle for different terrain conditions, optimizing the off-road experience.
In terms of technology, the Hilux hybrid comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense, Smart Connect multimedia system, and JBL sound with nine speakers, ensuring safety and comfort for occupants.
When Will We See the Toyota Hilux Hybrid in Brazil?
Still without an exact date, the expectation is that the hybrid Hilux in Brazil will be launched in 2025, following the trends of models already available in Europe and Australia.
Toyota believes that electrifying its best-selling model could attract both fans of the Hilux’s robustness and consumers looking for greater energy efficiency.
The Brazilian market is increasingly receptive to hybrid vehicles, and the arrival of the Toyota Hilux hybrid reinforces the brand’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. Keep an eye out, as this pickup promises to be a game-changer in the segment!
