Toyota Hilux Price in India 2026

The 2026 Hilux retains the bulletproof 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV Turbo-Diesel engine but now incorporates a 48V Mild-Hybrid system as standard on higher trims. This system provides a smoother start-stop experience and a torque-assist that improves low-end grunt. The engine produces 204 PS of power. Torque figures vary by transmission: the Automatic delivers a massive 500 Nm, while the Manual is tuned to 420 Nm. For extreme utility, it maintains a 700 mm water-wading capacity.

The 9th-gen Hilux is equipped with either a 6-speed Intelligent Manual (i-MT) or a 6-speed Torque Converter Automatic. All India-spec variants come with a Part-time 4WD system including High (H4) and Low (L4) range. New for 2026 is an enhanced Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) system and an Electronic Differential Lock as standard, ensuring it remains the gold standard for "Go-Anywhere" capability.

The Hilux is a literal giant on Indian roads, measuring 5,325 mm in length with a wheelbase of 3,085 mm. Its unladen ground clearance is a class-leading 279 mm, significantly higher than its SUV sibling, the Fortuner. The kerb weight stands at approximately 2,290 kg, and it features a specialized heavy-duty leaf spring suspension at the rear to handle a payload of up to 470 kg in the cargo deck.

The Hilux is designed for long-distance expeditions with an 80-litre fuel tank. While it is a 5-seater lifestyle vehicle, the rear seats now feature a 60:40 tip-up function, allowing for secure interior storage of tall items when the rear bench isn't in use. The exterior cargo deck is expansive, capable of carrying dirt bikes, camping gear, or industrial equipment with ease.

The new-gen Hilux has secured a 5-star safety rating under the latest stringent 2025/2026 protocols. It comes standard with 7 SRS Airbags and the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (ADAS) suite, which includes Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Trace Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Unique to the Hilux is the Tyre Angle Monitor on the MID, which is crucial for precision off-roading.

Built on the GA-F Ladder-frame platform, the Hilux uses a Double Wishbone front suspension and a Rigid Axle with Leaf Springs at the rear, specifically tuned to eliminate "rear-end bounce" when unladen. It features Ventilated Discs at the front and heavy-duty Drum Brakes at the rear. High-end trims feature 18-inch Blacked-out Alloys wrapped in All-Terrain rubber.

The 2026 update brings a massive leap in luxury. The dashboard is now dominated by a 12.3-inch floating touchscreen with Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a fully digital instrument cluster. Premium touches include Ventilated Front Seats, dual-zone climate control, and an 8-speaker premium audio system. The "Black Edition" adds an all-black theme with soft-touch leatherette surfaces.

Toyota provides a 3-year or 1,00,000 km standard warranty, which is essential for a vehicle often used in harsh environments. Service intervals are strictly every 10,000 km or 6 months. The 48V hybrid battery carries a separate 8-year warranty. It also includes Toyota i-Connect with specialized off-road concierge features and remote vehicle tracking.
