Though Toyota has been talking about making a full-electric Hilux pick-up for a very long time, it's only with the launch of the ninth generation model that it's actually felt able to do it. In truth, this is a somewhat tentative step into this genre; design constrictions have affected battery size and range, payload and towing. But Toyota is proud of the way it's been able to preserve this Hilux's legendary off-road prowess with a completely different kind of powertrain. Ultimately, only a certain kind of customer will want a Hilux BEV. But it could conceivably satisfy that person very much indeed. Let's take a closer look.
The electric pick-up segment has taken a while to get going and this Hilux BEV is a case study in just why. If you ever doubted how difficult it might be to make a truck of this kind without a combustion engine, look at how much trouble the world's biggest car maker has had doing so here. Battery size, driving range, payload and towing capacity are all below the class best. Having said that, if you don't do long journeys or carry heavy loads, there's a lot to like here. The Hilux BEV has the best off-road prowess of any electric pick-up. You also get the best interior in the class and the longest warranty. And, history would suggest, the toughest most reliable build. If that's enough for you, then Toyota will be relieved. In future, the brand will produce much better Hilux EV models than this. But this one represents a decent start on that journey.
