2026 Toyota HiLux 4x4: Detailed review – 0-100 & POV test drive

2026 Toyota HiLux WorkMate 4x4: Detailed review – 0-100 & POV test drive. The new HiLux continues on the same platform as before (not the TNGA platform), and it's available with a mild-hybrid 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder. This is the entry level WorkMate variant which doesn't get the mild-hybrid tech. But it does offer excellent off-road capability thanks to high clearances and an advanced traction control system even in low range. For more details and insight, our written review will be up on our website soon. Stay tuned: https://drivingenthusiast.com.au/category/toyota/toyota-reviews/
