After several years away from Australian showrooms, the HiLux Rugged X is making its highly anticipated return. The 2025 model has been reimagined from the ground up, combining the proven strength of the HiLux with new technology, refined capability, and a tougher design that is ready for anything.

Originally a favourite among off-road enthusiasts, the Rugged X built its reputation on durability, recovery-ready equipment, and a bold stance that set it apart from the pack. When production ended, its absence left a noticeable gap for drivers who wanted a factory-built 4WD that could handle serious terrain straight from the showroom floor.

Now, the new 2025 Rugged X is back and better than ever. It features improved suspension tuning, enhanced underbody protection, and advanced traction systems tuned for Australian conditions. The Multi-Terrain Select and Multi-Terrain Monitor give drivers real-time visibility and control over challenging tracks, while design upgrades provide both strength and style.

Developed with input from Toyota Australia’s local engineering team, the 2025 Rugged X carries on the legacy of the HiLux as Australia’s most capable and trusted ute. It is built to take on worksites, weekend adventures, and everything in between.
