Tokyo‑based Toyota is set to roll out the next‑generation Hilux in Vietnam at the end of January 2026, just in time for the Lunar New Year celebrations. The new pickup arrives with fresh styling, upgraded technology, and three power‑train options that aim to keep the Hilux at the top of the midsize‑truck segment.
Trim lineup and drivetrain choices
Vietnamese buyers will be able to choose from three configurations:
- 2.8‑litre naturally aspirated diesel, manual transmission, 4×2
- 2.8‑litre diesel, automatic transmission, 4×2
- 2.8‑litre diesel, automatic transmission, 4×4
All three versions share the same robust chassis that has proven its durability in harsh off‑road conditions worldwide.
Exterior makeover
The most noticeable change is the front fascia. Toyota has given the Hilux a larger, more expressive grille and a modernised headlamp cluster with refined LED signatures. The bumper and bumper guards have been restyled to echo the look of Toyota’s flagship off‑road SUVs, giving the pickup a bolder road‑presence.
Cabin technology – a leap forward
Inside, the new Hilux adopts a cockpit that feels more like a compact SUV than a traditional work truck. Highlights include:
- A 12.3‑inch central touchscreen that runs Toyota’s latest infotainment system, supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built‑in navigation.
- A matching 12.3‑inch digital instrument cluster positioned behind the steering wheel for a clear, glance‑free readout of speed, fuel, and driver‑assist alerts.
- Re‑engineered lever and button layouts that follow the ergonomics of premium off‑road models, making gear changes and feature activation smoother.
The cabin also gains higher‑grade upholstery options and additional USB‑C ports, catering to both commercial users and lifestyle buyers.
Powertrain details (still under wrap)
While Toyota has confirmed the 2.8‑litre diesel unit will power all variants, exact horsepower and torque figures for the Vietnamese market have not yet been disclosed. The engine is expected to meet the latest Euro‑VI emissions standards and to be paired with either a six‑speed manual or a six‑speed automatic gearbox.
Pricing, deposits, and delivery timing
Official pricing starts at roughly 603 million VND for the base manual 4×2 model and can exceed 900 million VND for the top‑spec 4×4 automatic. Toyota dealerships in northern Vietnam have already begun taking deposits since late December 2025, reporting a strong early‑bird response, especially for the 2.8 MT 4×2 and 2.8 AT 4×2 trims.
Customers who secured their orders before the end of 2025 are slated to receive their vehicles before the Tet holiday in early 2026. Orders placed after the first week of February may see delivery pushed to the post‑Tet period.
Market showdown – Hilux vs. Ranger
The revamped Hilux enters a heated competition with Ford’s Ranger, which continues to dominate the Vietnamese midsize‑pickup market. With its refreshed design, larger infotainment screens, and a more aggressive price bracket, Toyota hopes the new Hilux will spark a fresh “pickup king” battle in 2026.
What’s next?
All eyes are now on the official launch event scheduled for late January. Until then, prospective buyers can visit authorized Toyota showrooms for a sneak peek, book a test drive, or place a reservation to lock in a pre‑Tet delivery.
