Toyota Hilux @ Bharat Mobility Expo 2025

Big shoutout to .anshuman for shooting these pictures & his coverage of the Bharat Mobility Expo. Thanks for sharing, man!

Toyota has brought in not one, or two but three different Hilux models to the 2025 Auto Expo. First up is the FCEV or the Fuel Cell Electric vehicle variant of the popular pickup truck:

The Hilux FCEV looks like a normal Hilux save for a different front end. The FCEV is nothing but an electric vehicle that is powered by a fuel cell:

From the sides, the pickup gets FCEV branding...

... and this tiny FCEV logo on the driver's door:

The rear too gets the same FCEV logo under the Hilux badge:

Here's the rear motor that powers the rear wheels:

The centre console reveals's some interesting bits like a button for one-pedal driving, a separate 'P' button for Park, and possibly adjustable regenerative braking modes

Toyota had also displayed the internal components of the vehicle including the fuel tank and the fuel cell:

Also on display was the Hilux off-road concept:

This version came loaded with extras like a blindspot mirror, gloss black grille, underbody protection plates, snorkel etc:

Check out the chunky BF Goodrich tyres mounted on abuse-friendly rims:

A parting shot.. Don't miss the internal roll cage as well:

Perhaps the most handsome version of the Hilux at the Toyota stall was this Black Edition:

Finished in an all-black shade, including the rims, the only chrome bits are the T logo and the Hilux badging:

The all-black Hilux looks menacing and masks the huge size of the Hilux:

Like the front, the only minimal chrome can be found on the badging, tailgate handle and the bumpers:

My best if any of the above vehicles is going to come to our market - Black Edition

Toyota India has the least interest in our market as far as any premium vehicles are concerned

I am not sure about others but I heard about this Black edition coming soon in india. I heard this news from a hilux owner who is known for authentic hilux updates.
Though I don’t attest this without any official statement from Toyota.

Re: Toyota Hilux @ Bharat Mobility Expo 2025

Companies are now building up the hype and launching the rudimentary and supposedly standard black paint as a limited/special edition. Honda is another example with their Elevate black edition. This one looks good though but Toyota should offer a power outlet in the flatbed on the Hilux which is surprisingly missing but present on the higher models(Tacoma, Tundra).

Re: Toyota Hilux @ Bharat Mobility Expo 2025

It would have been interesting to see the Australian GRS version, with its wider track, suspension lift, BFG all-terrains, radar cruise control etc - it’s probably a small niche of a product, like my Fortuner GRS, where appearances are everything, but it looks really cool for sure
