The price gap between the new-generation Toyota Hilux Hybrid 48V diesel and the fully electric Hilux BEV is €5,000 in Spain. Toyota lists the Hybrid 48V for private buyers from €45,000, while the battery-electric Hilux BEV starts at €50,000.

According to Toyota España’s official announcement dated October 7, the new Hilux Hybrid 48V is already available through the brand’s dealer network. Separate fleet prices start at €36,848 for GX, €43,170 for VX and €47,633 for Invincible. These are flotas offers and are not directly comparable with the retail price list for private buyers.

The diesel pickup retains a 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbo engine producing 204 hp and 500 Nm. It is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, 4x4 four-wheel drive and a 48 V electrical assist system.

Despite the Hybrid badge, this is a mild-hybrid system. A motor-generator assists the diesel engine when starting and accelerating, recovers energy and makes stop-start operation smoother. The Hilux does not need to be plugged in and the system is not designed for sustained electric-only driving.

The ninth-generation pickup gets revised bodywork, an upgraded chassis and a more modern cabin. For the first time on the European Hilux, electric power steering is used. Equipment varies by trim: GX gets a 7-inch digital instrument display and a 9-inch multimedia screen, while VX features a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and 12.3-inch center display. Toyota Safety Sense driver-assistance systems have also been expanded.

In Europe Toyota is keeping the 48 V diesel alongside the fully electric Hilux. The BEV uses a 59.2 kWh battery, two eAxle electric drive units and permanent four-wheel drive. The two powertrains target different use cases: the BEV suits routes with reliable charging access, while the diesel Hybrid 48V retains an advantage for long-distance work away from charging infrastructure.

Spanish prices need to be compared within the same customer category. Toyota officially lists the Hilux Hybrid 48V GX at €45,000 and the Hilux BEV GX at €50,000 for private buyers. Fleet offers start at €36,848 and €42,894 respectively, so fleet and retail figures are not interchangeable.
