The next-generation Toyota Hilux Revo has been spied extensively during testing, revealing a significant design overhaul. While retaining the existing platform and cab, the new Hilux features a fresh front-end design with slimmer headlights, a large grille, and a redesigned bumper. The rear also sports a new integrated bumper and repositioned taillights. Interior updates are expected, including a larger infotainment touchscreen and a possible digital instrument cluster. Engine options are likely to remain unchanged, but expect emissions-compliant tweaks and the addition of new driver assistance features.
The Toyota Hilux Revo is being replaced, and quickly. Just over a week after reports surfaced that Toyota had caught the ninth-generation pickup truck undergoing testing ahead of its debut in the second half of the year, the design looks finalized and appears completely different from the current model. The front end sports slimmer headlights with eyebrow-style daytime running lights, linked by a decorative strip.
Below this sits a large rectangular grille, as well as a U-shaped front bumper housing a sizeable air intake and a radar sensor for the adaptive cruise control. Look closely and you’ll also spot triangular cutouts for the fake corner air intakes, giving this truck some high cheekbones. The rear design is less discernible, but it does appear that the Hilux will mirror its rivals in switching to a more integrated bumper, while the triangular taillights also look to have flipped upside down compared to the previous arrangement. All these changes mask the fact that the Hilux will retain the Revo’s cab and platform, as evidenced by the unchanged centre section, windows, doors, door handles and wing mirrors. This is a similar approach to the one Toyota took with the new Land Cruiser. Expect a redesign of the existing model’s dated dashboard, with a larger infotainment touchscreen almost certainly on the cards, along with possibly a digital instrument display. Toyota states that the Hilux is expected to retain the use of 2GD-FTV 2.4 litre and 1GD-FTV 2.8 litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engines, albeit tweaked to pass the latest emissions regulations. To that end, the existing available 48-volt mild hybrid system should also be carried over, while new electric power steering should enable more advanced driver assists, including Level 2 semi-autonomous driving, to be added. Could we also finally see an automatic transmission option
