Electric Power Meets Pickup Toughness
At the 2026 Bangkok Motorshow, Toyota unveiled the all‑electric version of its legendary Hilux – the Hilux Travo‑e. Positioned prominently on the showroom floor, the electric pickup draws attention with its sleek, closed‑grille front and modern lighting that echoes the newer RAV4 and Camry models.
Dimensions and Exterior Styling
Despite the shift to electric propulsion, the Travo‑e retains the Hilux’s familiar footprint: 5,320 mm long, 1,855 mm wide and 1,800 mm high, with a 3,085 mm wheelbase. The traditional rugged wheel arches remain, while the rear gains a practical integrated step and a re‑styled pair of tail lamps.
Cabin Design – From Land Cruiser to Luxury
The interior takes cues from Toyota’s Land Cruiser FJ, blending ruggedness with contemporary comfort. Soft‑touch matte plastics and synthetic leather cover the dashboard, while the central 12‑inch floating touchscreen anchors the infotainment zone. Below the screen, dedicated buttons control climate, heated windshield and seat adjustments.
Driving‑Range and Battery Specs
The Travo‑e is equipped with a 59.2 kWh lithium‑ion battery pack and dual electric motors, delivering a WLTP‑type range of up to 300 km on a single charge. A charging port is discreetly placed in the left wheel arch, supporting fast‑charging capabilities.
Pricing and Market Outlook
In Thailand, the all‑electric Hilux starts at ฿1.491 million. While the model is a clear sign of Toyota’s EV ambitions, a rollout in Vietnam looks unlikely in the near term, as the market is currently focused on the upgraded internal‑combustion versions priced between VND 632 million and VND 903 million.
What This Means for the Pickup Segment
The Hilux Travo‑e shows that electrification can coexist with the utility and durability expected from a pickup. With a respectable range, familiar dimensions, and Toyota’s reputation for reliability, the electric Hilux could set a benchmark for future off‑road EVs.
