Overview
The Toyota Hilux enters a new generation in 2026 as a five-seat electric pick-up aimed at buyers who want AWD traction and a conventional truck format without a combustion engine. Malaysia gets one EV variant, priced from RM226,300, with a 59.2 kWh battery, 193 hp and a quoted 257 km range.
Hilux in 2026 — what's new
The 2026 Hilux is a new-generation model in Malaysia, launched as the Thai-built, CBU Hilux EV. The local line-up consists of the EV, pairing a 59.2 kWh battery with a 193 hp electric powertrain, AWD and a single-ratio automatic transmission. Its quoted driving range is 257 km. This is the electric Travo-derived Hilux rather than a facelift of the previous Malaysian range.
Verdict
The Hilux EV brings a familiar pick-up nameplate into the electric truck class with AWD, five seats and a 257 km quoted range. The Hilux name has been a sales leader in Malaysia’s pick-up segment, but this EV is priced close to the top of its electric peer group: it costs substantially more than the JAC T9 EV and sits just below the Maxus eTerron 9. Range needs to suit the intended routes.
