Toyota Hilux MHEV (2024) Price & Specs
Pricing scoop! We’ve uncovered local prices for the new Toyota Hilux MHEV derivatives ahead of the market launch in South Africa. Here’s how much these fresh mild-hybrid double-cab bakkie variants will cost you…
Yes, the Toyota Hilux is set to be lightly electrified. The venerable 8th-generation bakkie range – which was again South Africa’s best-selling nameplate last year – will soon be bolstered with a raft of fresh 48V mild-hybrid derivatives. And Cars.co.za has unearthed local pricing for these Toyota Hilux MHEV (that’s “mild-hybrid electric vehicle”) double-cab variants ahead of the official market launch.
Expected to go on sale at some point in March 2024, the 6 new mild-hybrid derivatives (3 rear-driven and 3 featuring 4×4) will each feature the double-cab body style and an automatic transmission as standard. By our maths, that means the Prospecton-built Hilux portfolio will swell to as many as 45 variants, though Toyota SA Motors may well use this as an opportunity to rejig the line-up slightly. On that front, we’ll simply have to wait and see.
The 48V mild-hybrid package – which ostensibly brings both acceleration and efficiency gains – will be available on all auto-equipped Hilux 2.8 GD-6 Raider, Legend and Legend RS models. According to our information, the least-expensive electrified derivative will be the Hilux 2.8 GD-6 Raider 6AT 4×2 MHEV, which will be priced from R774 800. For the record, that’s R20 600 more than the non-MHEV version (based on current pricing for the latter; whether a general price increase will be implemented across the range at the time of the MHEV launch remains to be seen).
Upgrading to 4×4 will push the Hilux Raider 6AT MHEV’s price to R866 000 (or R23 100 more than the non-electrified version), while the Hilux Legend 6AT 4×2 MHEV will cost R869 100 (a premium of R15 900) and the Hilux Legend 6AT 4×4 MHEV will be pegged R921 800 (up R18 400).
How much does the new Toyota Hilux MHEV cost in SA?
Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-6 RB Raider DC 6AT 4×2 MHEV – R774 800
Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-6 RB Raider DC 6AT 4×4 MHEV – R866 000

Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-6 RB Legend RS DC 6AT 4×4 MHEV – R1 023 400
While we expect the new Hilux MHEV to ship standard with the same 9-service/90 000 km service plan (with intervals of 10 000 km) and 3-year/100 000 km vehicle warranty as the standard models, it’s not yet clear whether Toyota SA Motors will also offer a warranty specific to the battery pack.

Toyota Hilux GR Sport III (2024) Price & Spec
The widebody Toyota Hilux GR Sport III is due to launch in South Africa soon – and we’ve managed to unearth pricing! Here’s how much you’ll pay for what Toyota bills as the “ultimate off-roader”…
In January of this year, Toyota South Africa Motors confirmed plans to launch the new widebody Toyota Hilux GR Sport III at some point in March 2024 (though the media launch is scheduled for the 2nd week of April). Now, ahead of this local market introduction, Cars.co.za can reveal pricing for what the Japanese firm bills as the “ultimate off-roader”.
According to our information, the widebody Hilux GR Sport III – which was displayed at Toyota’s State of the Motor Industry (SOMI) 2024 event in January – will be priced from R999 000, slipping in just under the 7-figure mark. For the record, that represents a R51 400 premium over the outgoing version, which is currently pegged at R947 600.
How much will the new Toyota Hilux GR Sport III cost in SA?
Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-6 DC 4×4 GR Sport III – R999 000
The above price includes Toyota’s 3-year/100 000 km warranty and a 9-service/90 000 km service plan (with intervals of 10 000 km).

New Toyota Hilux 48V: mild-hybrid fuel economy revealed
How much diesel will you save by opting for the new Toyota Hilux 48V mild hybrid over the standard bakkie? We’ve discovered the flagship version’s claimed fuel-consumption figure…
Late in February 2024, Cars.co.za brought you pricing for the new Toyota Hilux 48V derivatives, which are scheduled to join the Japanese firm’s popular bakkie range in South Africa at some point in March. While Toyota has yet to officially release fuel-economy data for the 48V variants, we’ve managed to unearth the claimed figure for the flagship version of the mild-hybrid bakkie.
As a reminder, the 6 new mild-hybrid derivatives (3 rear-driven and 3 featuring 4×4) will each feature the double-cab body style and a 6-speed automatic transmission as standard. The 48V package – which Toyota promises will bring both acceleration and efficiency gains – will be available on all auto-equipped Hilux 2.8 GD-6 Raider, Legend and Legend RS models.
So, what sort of fuel savings are we looking at here? Well, we’ll use the range-topping Hilux 2.8 GD-6 Legend RS 6AT 4×4 as an example. For this derivative, Toyota lists a combined fuel consumption of 8.0 L/100 km. According to our information, the lightly electrified version of this model will sip at a claimed 7.4 L/100 km. By our maths, that’s an improvement of 7.5% courtesy of the 48V system.
The Hilux 2.8 GD-6 Legend RS 6AT 4×4 with the 48V system has a corresponding CO2 figure of 195 g/km, down from the standard model’s 209 g/km. The mild-hybrid model furthermore scores a stop-start system, subtle “48V” badges on its front doors (right below the “2.8 GD-6” wordmark) and Multi-Terrain Select. The latter off-road system is a first for the Hilux line-up, offering various selectable modes to “help improve traction in a range of conditions”.

Toyota Hilux and Fortuner ‘48V’ mild hybrid models hit SA
The Toyota Hilux and Fortuner are taking their first steps toward electrification with the release of the new 48V mild hybrid models.
Six 48V Hilux double cab models will be offered in South Africa, kicking off with the 2.8 GD-6 48V Raider at R774,800 in 2WD guise, representing a premium of R15,500 over the non-hybrid model, while the 4x4 version is priced at R866,000.
If a Legend is more up your alley, the 48V 4x2 model is yours for R869,100 and the 4x4 will set you back by R921,900. The RS “roller shutter” models cost R967,500 and R1,023,400 respectively.
The Toyota Fortuner 48V models have an even smaller price premium, with the 2.8 GD-6 48V coming in at R834,800, which is just R8,400 more than the equivalent non-hybrid. There’s also a VX 4x2 model on offer at R879,300, while the 4x4 and 4x4 VX variants are priced at R918,600 and R961,800 respectively.
Although not full hybrids in the same sense as the Corolla Cross, the mild hybrid variants do bring a slight fuel economy advantage, with overseas claims putting the advantage at around five percent.

All-New 2025 Toyota Hilux Early Details Emerge
The 2025 Toyota Hilux is coming next year says a Toyota Australia exec. Here are some early details about its powertrain options.
A fresh report from CarsGuide suggests the next-generation 2025 Toyota Hilux will be launching in Australia in 2025. In an interview with Toyota Australia’s VP of Sales and Marketing Sean Hanley, some details about the new model’s powertrain were shared.
The Australian market is concerned about the ever-stricter emissions laws and when asked about the new 9th-generation Hilux’s engine, Hanley said: “You’ll have to wait until 2025.” While its still early days and Toyota is known for keeping its cards very close to its chest, there’s no denying that the new Ford Ranger and subsequent confirmation of a plug-in hybrid bakkie, must have set off a few alarms.

Toyota Hilux EV to arrive next year, exec says
The Toyota Hilux is iconic. The "indestructible" (in the words of old Top Gear) pickup truck can be seen across the world, and one of Toyota's key markets for it is Thailand. Thus it's important to listen when the president of Toyota Thailand, Noriaki Yamashita, says the all-electric battery powered Hilux EV could arrive by the end of next year. Specifically, the company is aiming to mass produce the Hilux EV by the end of 2025.
He didn't specify where the Hilux EV will be made - Thailand having the status of a regional automaking hub, it could well be there. Toyota is the Thai market leader, accounting for a third of sales.
Next month, Toyota will deliver a dozen Hilux EV pickup trucks to the town of Pattaya in Thailand "for trials as public transportation", Yamashita said. It's unclear what exactly that entails, but that will be our first ever glimpse at the Hilux EV, so we're looking forward to it.

Ford Ranger Tremor Vs Toyota Hilux GR Sport III: Spec Check
The off-road-focused Ford Ranger Tremor will compete against the incoming Toyota Hilux GR Sport III. With both bakkies priced at just under R1 million, we compare the major styling and specification differences between the rivals!
Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa recently launched the luxurious Ranger Platinum and off-road-biased Ford Ranger Tremor. Slotting in snuggly beneath the Wildtrak X, the Tremor is positioned as a “more affordable” alternative to its higher-specced sibling and is priced at R977 500 (April 2024).
The Ranger Tremor will, however, soon face off with the incoming Toyota Hilux GR-Sport III, which is due to be launched in South Africa soon. The new Hilux GR-Sport III is similarly priced from R999 000.
If you’re wondering what sets these off-road-focused double cabs apart from one another, this article will highlight the key specification differences between them. Let’s take a closer look at the details!
