2026 Toyota HiLux price and specs

UPDATED 26/01/2026 08:00am: Now that deliveries of the brand new HiLux have commenced, we’ve updated this text with fuel consumption, towing capability and payload figures that weren’t yet available after we first published it on November 12, 2025.

The 2026 Toyota HiLux officially went on sale on December 9, 2025 with an expanded lineup introducing a refreshed exterior, recent cabin design and now just one diesel powertrain.

The expanded lineup sees the return of the top-end Rogue and Rugged X models, though a GR Sport version (or higher) to tackle the Ford Ranger Raptor hasn’t been confirmed just yet. 

The brand new HiLux uses the identical ladder-frame chassis as before – not the newer TNGA-F platform used on LandCruiser Prado and LandCruiser 300 Series – giving it similar dimensions to its predecessor.

With the surface designed by Toyota Design Australia, the newly styled front and rear sandwich the identical doors and cabin as before, with the nose running thinner LED headlights, recent grille and sharper lines. 

Down back, there are recent tail-lights in addition to a brand new integrated step behind the rear wheel on pickup variants. Other cosmetic changes include fresh colors and wheel patterns.

The inside has been completely redesigned, too, with recent tech and redesigned seats.

The usual engine is the carryover 2.8-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder which partly justifies the upper entry price, given the previous 2.4-litre diesel engine and a pair of.7-litre petrol have each been dropped. 

A manual transmission stays available in some model grades, making it one among a diminishing variety of utes offered in Australia with three pedals. 

The bottom WorkMate has gained more standard safety equipment, including blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, in addition to LED headlights, while all HiLuxes have been upgraded to a bigger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with satellite navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Pricing

Toyota Australia has only announced pricing for the diesel HiLux to date across five model grades in cab/chassis and dual-cab ute body styles, kicking off with the WorkMate before the SR, SR5, Rogue and – returning after being dropped in 2022 – the Rugged X.

The 2026 HiLux starts at $33,990 before on-road costs for the WorkMate 4×2 manual – up from its previous $27,730 before on-roads start for the previous petrol 2.7-litre version.

The most cost effective diesel previously was the two.4-litre, which began at $32,790 before on-road costs in its least expensive WorkMate Hi-Rider guise.

At the highest end, the Rogue dual-cab and Rugged X are each $71,990 before on-roads – a meagre increase of $460 for the Rogue, and lower than the previous GR Sport’s $74,310 before on-roads price. 

A GR Sport to rival the hero Ford Ranger Raptor hasn’t been announced, nevertheless given GR was one among the five core brands inside the Toyota group announced in October 2025 – with Daihatsu (not sold here), Century, Lexus and the Toyota brand itself – it’s a near certainty to hitch the lineup. 

Drivetrains and Efficiency

All 2026 HiLuxes run a carryover 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder – with an unchanged 150kW/500Nm for automatic and 150kW/420Nm for manual versions – with a alternative of 4×2 or 4×4.

WorkMate, SR and SR5 model grades also offer the six-speed manual, while SR model grades and above with the automated transmission include 48-volt mild-hybrid technology as standard. 

The two.7-litre petrol and a pair of.4-litre turbo-diesel engines have been dropped, making the two.8-litre the one powertrain offered at launch, with electric (EV) and hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) versions confirmed for Australia.

The HiLux EV is planned for an area arrival between January and March 2026, with the FCEV – which uses hydrogen, just like the Toyota Mirai sedan – is scheduled to reach sometime in 2028. 

Kerb weight varies across the range:

• 4×2 single-cab/chassis: 1690-1700kg
• 4×4 single-cab/chassis: 1830kg
• 4×4 extra-cab/chassis: 1940kg
• 4×4 double-cab/chassis: 1975-2030kg
• 4×2 double-cab pickup: 2035-2045kg
• 4×4 double-cab pickup: 2105-2342kg

The double-cab Rogue (2342kg) and Rugged X (2327kg) pickups are the heaviest within the lineup.

Dimensions

All HiLuxes ride a 3085mm wheelbase.

Servicing and Warranty

The Toyota HiLux is roofed by Toyota’s five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty which covers any Toyota-produced part, panel and accessory.

Engine and driveline warranty might be prolonged by one other two years provided the vehicle is serviced in accordance with schedule, and the automotive is backed by seven years of emergency assistance.

Previous HiLux service pricing was capped between $245 and $290 per visit for the primary six visits, covering three years or 60,000km.

Maintenance continues to be required every six months or 10,000km, which is notably shorter than the same old 12 month/15,000km intervals offered by most rivals.
