TOYOTA HILUX DOUBLE CAB 2.8

The 2026 Toyota Hilux Double Cab 2.8 is the outgoing eighth-generation Hilux in its facelifted form, a body-on-frame double-cab pickup with seating for five. It is offered here as UAE-market GCC-spec stock in left-hand drive, in two 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-wheel-drive automatic variants: the Adventure and the GR Sport. Both share the 1GD-FTV engine and six-speed automatic, so the choice comes down to styling, stance and trim rather than mechanicals. This record covers the eighth-generation shape only; the newer ninth-generation Hilux is listed separately.

Variants

There is no manual-gearbox variant in this lineup. Both variants use the double-cab body, a rear leaf-spring suspension and a rear cargo bed.

Dimensions

The GR Sport uses a wider-stance body with flared arches and a more aggressive front end, so its overall width and track are slightly greater than the Adventure. Exact width, height, ground clearance, bed dimensions and kerb weight differ by variant and tyre fitment; confirm the figures for the specific unit before relying on them.

Available Colours

Colour availability depends on the unit in stock and is confirmed per vehicle. The eighth-generation Hilux range is typically offered in a mix of solid white, pearl white, silver, grey, black and darker metallic shades. The GR Sport is commonly finished with contrasting black exterior accents.
