Toyota unveils ninth‑gen Hilux with electric version and previews Innova Hycross facelift

Toyota Motor Philippines launched the ninth‑generation Hilux, featuring a radical "Cyber Sumo" design and a new battery‑electric variant that delivers 196 hp from a 59.2 kWh lithium‑ion pack. The lineup also includes diesel models with a 2.8‑L turbo engine and updated interior technology such as larger touchscreens and wireless connectivity.

In India, a facelifted version of the Toyota Innova Hycross MPV was spotted during testing. The prototype shows an SUV‑inspired front fascia with slimmer lighting, a larger grille and a more upright stance that echo the styling cues of the new Hilux. The updates suggest Toyota is applying a unified global design language across its vehicle range in multiple markets.
