Toyota has officially announced UK pricing and specifications for the ninth-generation Hilux lineup, marking a significant milestone with the introduction of the brand's first battery-electric Hilux. The electric pick-up truck enters the market at a starting price of £57,845, positioning it in the premium segment of the growing electric commercial vehicle market in the UK.
Order books are set to open on 1 June, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin later that same month — a notably swift timeline that signals Toyota's confidence in supply readiness for this flagship model. The electric Hilux joins a pick-up truck segment that is increasingly attracting EV competition across Europe.
The Hilux nameplate carries decades of reputation for durability and off-road capability, making the electric version a high-profile test of whether Toyota's EV strategy can translate its combustion-engine heritage into battery-powered vehicles. Detailed technical specifications, including range and charging speed, have not yet been disclosed by the automaker.
For international observers, the UK launch serves as a key indicator of Toyota's broader European EV ambitions. The company has historically been more cautious about full battery-electric vehicles compared to rivals, favouring hybrid technology — making this electric Hilux a noteworthy strategic shift.
