Regenerative braking to recover energy.

No external charging required.

Unlike a full hybrid, the diesel engine still powers the vehicle at all times.

Pros
Excellent reliability and resale value.
Strong 3.5-tonne towing capability.
Proven 2.8L diesel engine.
Improved refinement with the 48V system.
Comprehensive Toyota Safety Sense package.
Strong off-road capability.
Cons
Rear suspension is firmer than some rivals when unladen.
Cabin space is slightly tighter than a Ford Ranger.
Six-speed automatic is effective but less modern than some competitors' 8- or 10-speed transmissions.

Overall, the 2026 Hilux SR5 48V is one of Australia's best all-round dual-cab utes, particularly if you value long-term reliability, strong resale, towing performance and genuine off-road ability. The addition of the 48V V-Active system makes it smoother and more fuel-efficient while preserving the durability for which the Hilux is known.
