- Likely to be built on Toyota's TNGA-F platform.
- Expect Toyota to introduce a mild-hybrid option in more SUVs.
Following the successful prototype testing in Africa recently, Toyota has introduced a mild-hybrid version of the Hilux in the European market. This upgraded model retains the 2.8-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine enhanced with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, aiming to improve fuel efficiency and driving performance. This setup, comprising the turbodiesel unit, a small electric motor, and a 48-volt battery, is expected to be managed by a 6-speed automatic transmission, although detailed specifications have not been disclosed.

While Toyota promises "enhanced on- and off-road performance," there is no compromise on towing and payload capacity, maintaining figures at 3,500 kg and 1,000 kg, respectively. The placement of components in the mild-hybrid setup is in a way that allows for a water-wading depth of 700 mm. Toyota previously mentioned that this system will deliver enhanced torque assist, smoother start and stop functions, regenerative braking, and up to 10 per cent better fuel efficiency as compared to diesel powertrain.
