An all-new generation Toyota Hilux will be launching in 2025, reports Australia’s CarsGuide, quoting Toyota Australia's VP of Sales and Marketing, Sean Hanley, who said "You'll have to wait until '25." Australia is the second biggest right-hand drive market for the Toyota Hilux, after Thailand, where Australian market Hiluxes are made. No further details were shared, understandably, but the possibility of a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant was discussed. Adding a Hilux PHEV variant may be necessary

Toyota is currently conducting field trials with a battery electric vehicle (BEV) prototype of the current generation Toyota Hilux in Thailand and Australia. The first tangible result of that study will soon materialize in this Toyota EPU concept, which will be making its world debut at this Wednesday’s Japan Mobility Show.

Isuzu Malaysia is paving the path to normalcy for potential Isuzu D-Max customers by offering a moratorium for financing payments on new vehicles purchased from 1 June 2020 till 31 August 2020.

Toyota has quietly registered the GR Hilux name in Australia, hinting that the company could be injecting its Gazoo Racing goodness into the Hilux.
