The legendary Toyota Hilux is back with its controversial, Australian-designed "Cyber Sumo" look and a revolutionary multi-pathway powertrain strategy. In this deep dive, we break down why Toyota executives call the polarizing design merely "fine" and analyze the specs that matter most to truck buyers globally.

5 Powertrain Options: Toyota is attacking the global truck market with five different versions: standard combustion, the new 48V mild-hybrid, a pure diesel, a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), and a future Fuel Cell EV.

Key Specs & Controversies:

48V Hybrid: Set to be the volume seller in Europe, this 2.8L diesel hybrid boasts an impressive 7,700 lbs (3,500 kg) towing capacity and retains its legendary wading depth. We explore why this hybrid is the real workhorse.

Hilux EV (BEV): The first-ever electric Hilux features a 59.2 kWh battery and an estimated WLTP range of just 150 miles (240 km). Is this limited range a dealbreaker, or is Toyota smartly targeting city fleet buyers?

Design: The aggressive, angular, and "overly busy" Cyber Sumo design is a massive departure from the old model. Local designers are betting this bold style will win over new and old customers alike. #toyota #hilux #cybersumo #hiluxEV #48vhybrid #trucks #pickup #newhilux #toyotahilux #cartrends #automotive #offroad
