2027 Toyota Hilux Arrives in the UAE From AED 107,900: Six Variants, Two Engines and a Smarter Cabin

Dubai: Toyota has launched the ninth-generation 2027 Hilux in the UAE through Al-Futtaim Motors, starting at AED 107,900 (excluding 5% VAT). It brings six variants, two engines, a restyled body, a new cabin and a longer safety list. 

The Hilux has long been a UAE favourite, though it recently lost its best-selling spot, as our UAE new car sales review for the first half of 2026 shows. Below, we cover prices, engines, design, cabin, safety and which version suits which buyer.

Key Takeaways

What does the new Hilux cost?

From AED 107,900 for the 2.7L Single Cab GLX MT, up to AED 164,900 for the 2.8L Overland, excluding 5% VAT.

Which engine is stronger?

The 2.8L turbo diesel, with 201 bhp and 500 Nm, against 164 bhp and 245 Nm from the 2.7L petrol.

Price and Variants: Six Ways to Buy a Hilux

You can choose a Single Cab or Double Cab, petrol or diesel, and manual or automatic. The Overland sits at the top for buyers who want a more rugged look.

Variant	Price (excl. VAT)
2.7L Single Cab GLX MT	AED 107,900
2.7L Double Cab GL AT	AED 120,900
2.7L Double Cab GLX AT	AED 125,900
2.8L Double Cab DLS AT	AED 126,900
2.7L Double Cab GLX AT (listed again)	AED 137,900
2.8L Overland AT	AED 164,900

The launch details list the Double Cab GLX AT twice at different prices, so please confirm that trim with Al-Futtaim.

Engines and Drivetrain: Petrol Comfort or Diesel Muscle

Both engines drive all four wheels and pair with a 6-speed manual or automatic. The petrol suits city use and comfort, while the turbo diesel is the better match for dunes and heavy work thanks to its torque.

Specification	2.7L Petrol	2.8L Turbo Diesel
Power	164 bhp	201 bhp
Torque	245 Nm	500 Nm
Gearbox	6-speed manual or automatic	6-speed manual or automatic
Drivetrain	4X4	4X4

One change to note: the optional 4.0L V6 petrol from the previous generation is gone. If you are still comparing rivals, our guide to the top 3 pickup trucks you can buy in the UAE right now is a helpful next read.

Design: A Fresh Look on a Familiar Platform

The Hilux still rides on the same IMV platform, but the bodywork is new and looks similar in spirit to the RAV4 Hybrid.

• Front: upright bonnet, grille built into the bumper, LED projector headlights with daytime running lights, vertical foglight housings and underbody protection
• Side: 18-inch alloys with all-terrain tyres, redesigned flatbed support bars and new colours
• Rear: vertical LED taillights, a new tailgate with Toyota lettering and a bumper with a loading footstep
• Overland: chunky body cladding, wider tyres and extra off-road details

Cabin and Tech: A Big Step Up Inside

The dashboard is all new, and the cabin now feels closer to a modern SUV than a work truck. Toyota has also improved cabin insulation.

Feature	Details
Central screen	12.3-inch floating display
Phone link	Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Driver display	12.3-inch digital cockpit
Steering wheel	Three-spoke leather wheel from the Land Cruiser Prado 250

Safety and Driver Aids: A Longer List

Our Expert Take: Who Should Pick Which Hilux

The 2027 Hilux keeps the strengths of the older model, adds a modern cabin and brings far better safety technology. The Single Cab GLX MT is the simplest way in, the Double Cab petrols suit daily and family use, and the diesel suits off-road drivers and heavy loads. The Overland is for those who want the boldest look.

The missing V6 is the main drawback, and the launch details do not cover payload, towing or delivery timing, so ask your dealer. To see where it fits in Toyota's range, our complete 2026 Toyota model and price guide is worth a look.
