Two electric versions of the Toyota HiLux have been confirmed for local showrooms as part of the new-generation lineup launched this month with carryover diesel engines.

The HiLux, Australia's best-selling vehicle last month, will beat arch-rival Ford Ranger to offer an electric vehicle (EV) version, joining a handful of electric utes here including the LDV eT60 and upcoming Isuzu D-Max EV .

Toyota Australia plans to add a HiLux BEV (battery-electric vehicle) to the local range in the first quarter (January-March) of 2026, with a hydrogen fuel-cell electric (FCEV) version to follow sometime in 2028.

Exact timing for the FCEV version is yet to be confirmed, but it's expected in local dealers by the end of next year.
