SR5 Highlights

The SR5 builds on the SR with a more premium specification, including:

18-inch alloy wheels
LED exterior lighting
Premium interior appointments
Larger multimedia display
Digital instrument display
Dual-zone climate control
Smart key and push-button start
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Reversing camera

Toyota Safety Sense driver-assistance systems
4x4 with low-range gearing

The new-generation Hilux also moves to electric power steering and an updated cabin/infotainment system.

48V V-Active System

The 48V system is a mild hybrid rather than a plug-in or full hybrid. Its electric motor-generator assists the diesel engine, particularly during acceleration, while regenerative braking recovers energy.

The key benefit is smoother low-speed operation and improved efficiency while retaining the familiar 2.8L diesel's 500 Nm of torque.

Towing & Work Capability

This is one of the major strengths of the new SR5:

3,500 kg braked towing
750 kg unbraked towing
965 kg payload
6,300 kg GCM

The 3.5-tonne braked towing rating is particularly significant, as it is now standard across the new-generation 4x4 Hilux range.

Overall

The 2026 Hilux SR5 48V is a substantial upgrade over the previous-generation Hilux, combining the proven 2.8 diesel with 48V assistance, improved cabin technology, stronger towing capability and updated chassis/electrical systems.
