Concrete details on Toyota’s electric Hilux remain scarce, leaving fans to ponder its powertrain performance, range and charging capabilities.
Following news in 2023 that the beloved Toyota Hilux was rumoured to become an electric offering, it seems as if the Japanese automaker is planning to go ahead with the model with a debut slated for 2025.As environmental regulations tighten their grip on the automotive landscape, Toyota Thailand President Noriaki Yamashita’s recent confirmation of an electric Hilux signals a seismic shift in the iconic bakkie trajectory.
Advantages abound for an electric bakkie, including reduced carbon footprint and lower operating costs, thanks to fewer mechanical components. However, sceptics may question its towing capacity, range, and charging infrastructure readiness, particularly in regions where rugged terrain and remote locations are commonplace.

Yet, without concrete technical specifications, we all remain in suspense, eagerly awaiting details on powertrain performance, range, and charging capabilities.
As Toyota navigates the transition toward electrification, the reception of the electric Hilux among loyalists will serve as a litmus test for the broader acceptance of electric pickups. Ultimately, the success of the electric Hilux hinges not only on its ability to adapt to evolving environmental standards but also on its capacity to win over die-hard fans enamoured with the Hilux’s rugged heritage.The post Electric Toyota Hilux Expected to Debut on Roads by 2025 appeared first on CAR Magazine.
