2026 Toyota Hilux Launched at Rs 31.99 Lakh: Key Specs Inside

Toyota Kirloskar Motor has launched the 2026 Toyota Hilux in India at a starting price of Rs 31.99 lakh (ex showroom). The lifestyle pickup truck arrived on July 28, with bookings now open across Toyota dealerships and deliveries set to begin in the second week of August.

The new model brings a fresh design, an upgraded cabin, a new entry level 4x2 automatic variant, and more technology while keeping its rugged ladder frame construction. For buyers, the biggest takeaway is a lower starting price than expected and a wider choice of variants.

Alongside the launch, the carmaker also unveiled the Hilux Camper, priced at around Rs 50 lakh. It comes equipped with amenities designed for camping and adventure travel.

The 2026 Toyota Hilux is available in three variants:

Variant	Price (Ex-showroom)
GX 4x2 AT	Rs 31.99 lakh
GX 4x4 AT	Rs 33.69 lakh
VX 4x4 AT	Rs 36.69 lakh

Toyota has also introduced a rear wheel drive (4x2) automatic variant for buyers who like the Hilux's road presence but do not need four wheel drive every day. This could make ownership more practical for urban buyers while reducing the entry price.

The pickup continues with Toyota's trusted 2.8 litre four cylinder turbo diesel engine producing 204hp and 500 Nm paired with a 48V mild hybrid system. Power goes through a six speed automatic gearbox, while the 4x4 variants retain low range capability for off road driving. 

Toyota says the mild hybrid setup improves drivability and fuel efficiency, especially in stop and go traffic.
