New spy photos of the 2026 Toyota HiLux single-cab have surfaced ahead of its global reveal later this year. 

Shared by Indonesian publication AutonetMagz on Instagram, the images show the single-cab with a refreshed front end, featuring slimmer headlights and a new grille, similar to updates seen on previously spied dual-cab models.

Earlier spy shots of the dual-cab HiLux offered a broader view of the ute during testing in Thailand. They revealed a redesigned rear with updated tail-lights, while the mid-section remains largely unchanged, suggesting a major facelift rather than a full redesign.

Despite earlier rumours of an all-new model, the HiLux is expected to retain its IMV platform with substantial updates rather than adopting Toyota’s TNGA-F architecture used by the Tundra, Prado, and 300 Series.

Interior leaks from Instagram account @cars_secrets indicate a significant tech upgrade, including two 12.3-inch screens—one for the driver’s instruments and another for infotainment—replacing the current 8.0-inch display. The cabin takes styling cues from the LandCruiser Prado, with an infotainment system similar to models already sold overseas.

Power is expected from the familiar 1GD 2.8-litre and 2GD 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesels, potentially updated for stricter emissions standards. There is also speculation of a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, likely a 2.5-litre petrol-electric setup similar to the RAV4 PHEV, joining diesel and mild-hybrid options to help the HiLux compete with rivals like the Ford Ranger and BYD Shark.

The global debut is expected in Thailand in late 2025, with an Australian launch likely in early 2026.
