The blurry pictures here are claimed to be of the upcoming 2025 Toyota Hilux, according to the Thailand publication Headlightmag.com. The 2025 Toyota Hilux is expected to make its global debut in Thailand in the second half of this year, reportedly using the Hilux Travo name. For the past three decades, all generations of the Hilux have been given a unique name, starting with the Hilux Mighty X in the late ‘80s, to the Hilux Tiger, which later made way for the Hilux Vigo, and the current Hilux R

UMW Toyota Motor finished 2024 with over 102,300 units of Toyota and Lexus models sold, down 5.4% from the previous year.

Total new car sales for 2024 are expected to exceed 814,000 units (final figures to be announced later this month), which is around 1.7% higher than the previous year, but most of the increase is co

As picked up by Headlightmag, Toyota filed a trademark for the Hilux Travo name in the Kingdom’s DIP on 23 December 2024. Unlike the Toyota Innova Zenix though, this new su

Toyota has officially unveiled the hydrogen-powered Toyota Hilux Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) project at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2024 (KLIMS 2024). This marks the debut of the first working prototype of the model, showcased on the shores of the Toyota Manufacturing UK plant in Derby, England.

Toyota Australia and BHP, the mining company, have announced a new trial of the Toyota Hilux battery electric vehicle (BEV) prototype, marking the first test of its kind for the vehicle. The electric Hilux will be deployed at BHP’s Port Hedland site in Western Australia, taking on duties typically handled by diesel-powered vehicles. The test will begin in November and run for around a year, with BHP to provide feedback on the vehicle's performance. Matthew Callachor, President and CEO of Toyota

Despite the increase in diesel prices, more Malaysians are looking to buy pick-up trucks. At the same time, dealers are facing increasing challenges in converting these searches into actual sales. Between January to September 2024, sales of pick-up trucks in Malaysia have gone down by 18.1% compared to last year, according to registration figures provided by JPJ. It would be tempting to conclude that the slowdown in pick-up truck sales is due to the removal of diesel subsidies, which took effect
