The 2025 Toyota Hilux has officially arrived, combining rugged off-road strength with new premium touches. Known worldwide as a dependable workhorse, the latest Hilux steps up with modern styling, advanced features, and powerful performance that caters to both adventure seekers and lifestyle buyers.
Features and Design
The 2025 Hilux stands out with refreshed styling, including LED headlights, bold alloy wheels, and a more aggressive grille. A special Black Edition variant adds an all-black theme with dark alloys, blacked-out mirrors, handles, and premium leather interiors.
Inside, the cabin feels more premium with dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and an 8-way powered driver’s seat. Safety has also been enhanced with seven airbags, vehicle stability control, traction control, and hill-assist systems.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Hilux is powered by a 2.8-litre, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine delivering around 204 PS and 500 Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, with 4×4 capability available on higher trims.
Off-road performance remains a highlight, supported by electronic differential lock, downhill assist, and a water-wading capacity of up to 700 mm. Globally, a new 48V mild-hybrid version has also been introduced, promising better fuel efficiency and smoother torque delivery, though its India availability is still awaited.
Pricing and Variants
The 2025 Toyota Hilux is offered in multiple trims, with prices starting at ₹30.40 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Standard Manual variant. The High trim is priced at around ₹37.15 lakh, while the High Automatic and Black Edition are available at approximately ₹37.90 lakh. On-road prices will vary by city and can be several lakhs higher after taxes and registration.
