TOYOTA HILUX SINGLE CAB
2026 ModelLeft Hand Drive·Light-Duty Truck·2 Variants
Last updated
The 2026 Toyota Hilux Single Cab is the outgoing 8th-generation Hilux, the current-shape facelift that most GCC and African fleets know well, and it is offered alongside the new 9th-generation 2027 Hilux, which is a separate model record on IPAS. This single-cab light-duty truck is sourced from the UAE in left-hand drive (LHD) and is listed in two variants: the GLX 2.7L Petrol 4x4 Manual and the GL 2.4L Diesel 4x4 Manual. Both are 3-seat, part-time 4x4 workhorses built around a long cargo deck, and both pair a proven naturally aspirated or turbo-diesel engine with a manual gearbox.
Data note: figures are taken from the manufacturer's published GCC single-cab data and, where marked "dealer-listed", from a UAE dealer listing for the diesel grade. Figures marked "approximate" are rounded dimensions and may vary slightly by build, tyre and body option. Toyota UAE's current model page shows the 9th generation, so the 2.4 diesel single-cab grade is not published there; its grade name varies by dealer (GL or DLX).
Variants
| Variant | Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission | Drivetrain | Fuel | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GLX 2.7L Petrol 4x4 Manual | 2TR-FE, 2,694 cc, 4-cylinder petrol | 164 hp (122 kW) @ 5,200 rpm | 245 Nm (181 lb-ft) @ 4,000 rpm | 5-speed manual | Part-time 4x4 | Petrol | 3 |
| GL 2.4L Diesel 4x4 Manual (dealer-listed) | 2GD-FTV, 2,393 cc, 4-cylinder turbo-diesel | 147 hp (110 kW) @ 3,400 rpm | 400 Nm (295 lb-ft), 6-speed manual rating | 6-speed manual | Part-time 4x4 with Auto Disconnect Differential | Diesel | 3 (40/60 bench) |
Both variants are LHD with a light-duty truck body in single-cab configuration.
- GLX 2.7L Petrol: the petrol option for buyers who prefer a simple, widely serviceable engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox and part-time 4x4. The 2TR-FE is one of the most common Hilux engines across GCC, African and Asian fleets.
- GL 2.4L Diesel (dealer-listed): the torque-rich diesel option with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 400 Nm figure is the rating for the 6-speed manual 4x4 configuration. For reference, the 5-speed manual 4x2 version sold in Saudi Arabia is rated at 343 Nm, so torque depends on the gearbox and drivetrain combination.

| Gross vehicle weight | 2,859 kg (6,303 lb) | Not published by the dealer listing |
| Tyres and wheels | 265/65R17 | 225/70R17C on steel wheels |
| Seating | 3 | 3 (40/60 bench) |
| Cargo deck | Long single-cab deck | Long J-deck with 5 cargo hooks |
The long wheelbase and single-cab layout give a generous flat load deck, which is the main reason this body style is favoured by fleet, utility and project buyers.
