Video: Toyota Hilux BEV – Never far from home on this range

Toyota has finally electrified the HiLux, but does the battery-powered ute have the range and capability Australian drivers expect?

We take a closer look at the Toyota HiLux BEV, including how it drives, what it can carry, where it makes sense and the biggest limitation: a driving range that may keep it relatively close to home.

Could this be a useful workhorse for fleets, farms and local trades, or does Australia’s best-known ute need a much bigger battery before it can genuinely replace diesel?
