The ninth-generation 2026 Toyota Hilux has been launched in India at ₹31.99 lakh to ₹36.69 lakh ex-showroom. The range now begins with a GX 4x2 automatic, giving buyers a lower-priced route into the lifestyle pickup, while two 4x4 variants retain the off-road-focused positioning.

2026 Toyota Hilux prices and variants

Engine and key features

The 2.8-litre diesel produces 204hp and 500Nm and is paired with an automatic transmission throughout the range. Equipment highlighted for the new Hilux includes a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 360-degree camera and seven airbags. Final feature distribution can vary by variant, so buyers should check the detailed equipment list before booking.

What the new 4x2 variant changes

The GX 4x2 AT lowers the entry price by ₹1.70 lakh compared with the GX 4x4 AT. It is likely to appeal to buyers who want pickup practicality, road presence and touring ability without needing a four-wheel-drive system. The GX 4x4 remains the more relevant choice for regular low-traction, trail or work-site use, while the VX 4x4 sits at the top of the range for buyers seeking the fuller equipment package.

Bookings and deliveries

Toyota has opened bookings for the new Hilux, with deliveries planned from the second week of August. Buyers should confirm their city-specific on-road price, waiting period and variant availability with an authorised dealer because these can vary by location.
