Still, Toyota knows the EV won’t suit everyone, which is why the 2.8-liter turbodiesel with mild-hybrid tech will continue in the new generation. It can carry up to 2,205 lbs (1,000 kg) and tow 7,716 lbs (3,500 kg), making it far better suited for heavy-duty work than the electric Hilux. In Eastern Europe, the lineup will also include non-electrified 2.8-liter diesel and 2.7-liter gasoline engines.
Looking ahead, Toyota’s diversification plan goes beyond battery power. Starting in 2028, a fuel cell version will join the range, because yes, Toyota still believes in hydrogen. The company is also collaborating with BMW to help the German automaker launch its first production fuel cell vehicle, the iX5 Hydrogen, in the same year.
