2027 Toyota Hilux launches in UAE from AED 107,900

Exterior Design: A tougher, more contemporary Hilux

The 2027 Toyota Hilux measures 5,320 mm in length, 1,855 mm in width and 1,795 mm in height, with a 3,085 mm wheelbase and 312 mm of ground clearance.

Developed around Toyota’s Tough and Agile design philosophy, the new Hilux retains its functional pickup proportions while introducing a more assertive front end, a prominent grille, sculpted bodywork and slim LED headlights. New exterior colour options include Ash and Sulfur Metallic, while selected variants receive alloy wheels and additional styling details.

At the top of the range, the Hilux Overland targets buyers who want a more adventure-oriented pickup. It features a distinctive front bumper, wide black wheel-arch extensions, 18-inch black alloy wheels, side steps, additional cargo-bed steps and underbody engine protection.

Engine, performance and off-Road capability

The 2027 Toyota Hilux UAE range offers two four-cylinder engine options. The 2.7-litre petrol engine produces 164 hp and 245 Nm of torque, paired with either a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel develops 201 hp and 500 Nm, matched to a six-speed automatic gearbox.

All six variants come with four-wheel drive and an 80-litre fuel tank. Toyota’s claimed fuel-efficiency figures range from 10 to 10.1 km/l for petrol models and reach 13.9 km/l for diesel versions.

The suspension setup comprises independent double wishbones with coil springs at the front and a rigid axle with leaf springs at the rear. The Overland receives softer rear leaf springs, while increased body rigidity, revised engine and cabin mounts, and electric power steering are intended to improve ride comfort, handling and stability across different driving conditions.

With 312 mm of ground clearance and four-wheel-drive capability across the range, the Hilux continues to cater to buyers who need a pickup for demanding work environments as well as outdoor driving.
