Australia is already testing the new 2025 Toyota HiLux, which is bigger and has more features.
But Toyota says it is so good at hiding test drives and prototype utes that we probably won't see it until it's officially shown off, which, according to stories from Japan, could be later this year.
Ray Munday, the company's vehicle evaluation manager, confirmed that Toyota Australia has played and will continue to play a key part in the development and testing of key global off-road and commercial models from the world's biggest car company. This includes the next-generation HiLux.
"We are known there as the only country outside of Japan that gets the prototypes for the LandCruiser, Prado, HiLux, 70 Series, and all those commercial products," he told carsales.
"And when it comes to a global product like HiLux, the other markets usually come here for research and development on vehicles."
"For almost all commercial products, Toyota Australia is seen as the best place to test them in the real world." "We're a global center of excellence," said the head of engineering, who has worked on chassis development for race teams in the WRC, Dakar, and Super GT.
Munday wouldn't say for sure when the new HiLux will come out in Australia, but most people think it will be in 2025. This will give the improved mild-hybrid turbo-diesel engine in the current HiLux, which is ten years old, about a year on the market after it comes out in the next few months.
The new HiLux will be built on the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma in North America. It should be on sale in Australia well before the locally-made GR Sport flagship, which comes out in September 2023.
Toyota won't say when the next HiLux will come out, but Sean Hanley, Toyota Australia's local vice-president of sales, marketing, and franchise operations, told carsales, "Obviously there will be a next-generation HiLux at some point." He also said that Toyota Australia would be very involved in testing and developing it.
„We always get good feedback on all models, and right now we're converting the Rogue here in house. So, yes, we have a lot to say, as do people in other parts of the world and Ray's team.
"So we have a lot of local input into all of these kinds of models."
