The next-generation Toyota Hilux, rumoured to be called "Travo," has been spotted in its final testing phase in Thailand.
However, reports suggested a heavily camouflaged prototype, hinting at a refreshed design for one of the most popular pickup trucks worldwide.
The Hilux Travo seems to combine familiar elements with bold updates. While the side profile remains similar to the current model, major changes can be seen at the front and rear.
What to expect from Toyota Hilux Travo?
The front end features redesigned fenders, a new hood, an updated bumper, and a refreshed grille with modern headlights. The rear also shows changes, including a revamped tailgate, taillights, and rear fenders.
Rumours suggested this update is similar to Toyota's Camry facelift, where the exterior underwent significant changes without altering core body panels.
Toyota Hilux Travo performance and features
The Toyota Hilux Travo is expected to retain its reliable 2.8-litre GD-series turbo-diesel engine. However, Toyota is likely to improve its fuel efficiency and ensure it meets stricter global emission standards.
One standout upgrade is the inclusion of Electronic Power Steering (EPS), which promises better steering precision and smoother handling. EPS will make the Travo more adjustable, enhancing the driving experience.
Toyota Hilux Travo launch timeline
The Toyota Hilux Travo is set to launch in Thailand in late 2025. Its combination of rugged performance, refined design, and improved handling will likely set a new standard in the competitive pickup truck market.
