Toyota has confirmed production of an electric HiLux, with Thailand as the initial target market with potential for export to other right-hand drive markets. This news follows the unveiling of the HiLux Revo BEV concept in Australia last year.
Pras Ganesh, a high-ranking official at Toyota Motors Asia, confirmed that the electric HiLux will be built in Thailand, with exports being explored. The electric ute is expected to debut in 2026.
