Toyota has confirmed it will begin manufacturing an electric HiLux ute by late 2025, initially targeting the Thai market, with potential for exports.

Following the introduction of the HiLux Revo BEV concept in Australia last year, production plans for the electric variant have been solidified.

Pras Ganesh, Executive Vice President of Toyota Motors Asia, stated that production will occur in Thailand, and export possibilities are being considered.

The electric HiLux is anticipated to be available in 2026. Australian engineers, who previously accessed the HiLux Revo BEV, may see this model introduced in Australia.

Currently, a limited number of pre-production electric HiLux units are being tested in Thailand.

These single-cab, short-range vehicles are part of the pre-production trials.

Details regarding battery size, range, payload, and towing capacity have not yet been disclosed.

The development process aims to balance battery capacity with vehicle weight and usability. The possibility of an electric dual-cab version remains uncertain.

I’m Matt, the Founder and CEO of CarSauce. I kicked things off back in 2020 with "Matt Brand Cars," back when it was just me and a camera trying to change how car reviews were done. Before I traded the corporate suit for steering wheels, I worked in management consulting at KPMG and in the aviation industry after finishing my Commerce degree at Melbourne Uni.‍ That business background helped me turn a passion project into what CarSauce is today, but my real goal is to make sure our reviews stay entertaining and honest. When I’m not deep in car specs, I’m usually on camera trying to keep Jacob in line - though, as you’ve probably seen, that’s easier said than done!
