    Toyota HiLux 2025 review: SR5 V-Active Double-Cab 4x4 auto - GVM test
    By Mark Oastler · 02 Sep 2024
    The current generation Toyota HiLux ute is perilously close to its tenth birthday and Toyota has moved to freshen up its appeal with a mild hybrid version of the SR5 grade. Does it make a difference and is it enough to change you mind about that Ford Ranger you've had your eye on?

    Toyota HiLux 2024 review: Rogue V-Active - off-road test
    By Marcus Craft · 15 Jul 2024
    The 2024 Toyota HiLux represents a small step in an EV-lite direction. Some new variants have 'V-Active Technology', a combination of a motor generator, 48-volt battery and DC/DC converter aimed at improving performance and fuel efficiency, compared to the standard HiLux's 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine. It's not a hybrid HiLux, but it's the closest thing you'll get until that arrives in 2025.

    By Mark Oastler · 15 Dec 2023
    Toyota's GR (Gazoo Racing) performance brand is spreading across the Japanese giant's line-up. Even the HiLux ute is getting in the act with a GR Sport variant designed to take the fight up to Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Raptor. But what's it like as a work truck?

    By Tom White · 21 Sep 2023
    The GR HiLux is mean, but in the new world of mean utes, is it mean enough?

    By Mark Oastler · 18 May 2023
    It's been eight years since the eighth-gen HiLux landed in Australian showrooms, and it is the country's favourite vehicle - by sales. But newer rivals like the Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max have taken a bite out f its market share in recent years. How does the dual-cab HiLux stack up in 2023?

    Toyota HiLux 2023 review: Rogue - off-road test
    By Marcus Craft · 24 Apr 2023
    Rogue is the top-grade variant in Toyota's HiLux line-up now that the Rugged X has been discontinued and the range-topping GR Sport hasn't arrived here yet.The Rogue has new suspension and is now wider, taller and, supposedly, tougher than ever before. But can it compete with the likes of Ford Ranger Wildtrak, Nissan Navara Warrior, or even Ford Ranger Raptor?

    Toyota HiLux 2023 review: Rogue - GVM test
    By Mark Oastler · 25 Oct 2022
    In 2018 Toyota Australia launched three 'halo' variants of its HiLux dual cab 4x4 ute comprising Rugged, Rogue and top-shelf Rugged X. Although the Rugged had an early departure due to slow sales, the 'urban adventurer' Rogue and 'hardcore off-road' Rugged X have proven popular with premium-grade HiLux buyers, finding more than 17,000 homes.

    Toyota HiLux 2023 review: SR5+ Double-Cab auto Premium Interior
    By Byron Mathioudakis · 05 Aug 2022
    Australia's bestselling vehicle, the current Toyota HiLux is now in its twilight years, and must mostly rely on reputation to stay ahead of an increasingly stronger pack, led by the 2023 Ford Ranger. On the other hand, the popular SR5 Double Cab still looks great, is reassuringly familiar and is quite the performance powerhouse, thanks to a host of Aussie-influenced tweaks. But do they do enough? Particularly around town?

    Toyota HiLux 2022 review: Workmate petrol manual 4x2 single-cab cab-chassis - GVM test
    By Mark Oastler · 28 Dec 2021
    Up to the end of November the Toyota HiLux 4x4 was outsold by Ford's Ranger 4x4 in 2021, but the HiLux continued to maintain top spot in Australian ute sales because of its firm grip on the work-focused 4x2 market, in which it commands an enviable sales share of around 40 per cent.

    Toyota HiLux 2021 review: Rogue family test
    By Kate Edwards · 07 Apr 2021
    When they think of a Toyota HiLux most people would think of a tradie workhorse, or a ute for some serious off-roading. This week I've driven it as a family car around the inner suburbs of Sydney, and there was lots to like about it.
