Toyota Hilux 2022-2026 vs Toyota Hilux - Which One Should You Buy

India has two pickup trucks for private buyers. The ninth-gen Toyota Hilux launched in July 2026, and the Isuzu V-Cross was updated earlier this year. Here is how they compare.

The Toyota Hilux comes in three variants in India. All three share the same 2.8-litre diesel, 6-speed automatic, and 80-litre tank. But the differences in 4WD hardware, off-road features, and cabin tech make the variant decision far from straightforward.

Toyota refreshed the Hilux this week at Rs 31.99 lakh, and the timing puts Mahindra in an awkward spot. With the Scorpio-based pickup now likely slipping to 2027, Toyota gets a clear run at a segment Mahindra has been circling for three years.

Toyota has launched the ninth-generation Hilux in India at Rs 31.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Three variants, a new cabin with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a first-ever 4x2 option, and the same proven 2.8-litre diesel. Here is everything you need to know.

Toyota teased the next-generation Hilux ahead of its global debut in November 2025. The updated pickup (launching in India on July 28, 2026) retains the IMV platform while gaining a bolder design, a tech-rich cabin, and a 48V mild-hybrid diesel option.

There are quite a few key car launches to look forward to this month.

The Hilux was introduced in India in 2022.

The new Hilux was launched in Japan on May 28.

The Hilux pickup truck and select Hyryder variants are offering the highest savings.
