Why Mzansi must wait longer for the Toyota Hilux Legend 55
This bakkie is likely to be the last special model of the current generation. After initially planning to roll out the Toyota Hilux Legend 55 in July, Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) has pushed back the bakkie's introduction to August. TSAM told The Citizen Motoring that the delay has been caused by 'production planning and the readiness of elements unique to the Legend 55'. The bakkie is built in the Toyota assembly plant in Prospecton alongside the Fortuner, Hiace, Corolla Cross and Corolla Quest. The new instalment in Legend series arrives five years after the 50 and is likely the last special model of the bakkie's current generation as the new Toyota Hilux is expected in the next year or two. Engine mystery TSAM showcased a Legend 55 at its State of the Motor Industry address (SOMI) at Kyalami in January. While the bespoke styling enhancements were clear and some specification was divulged, the powertrain was said to be 'under discussion' at the time. Until we get official word, the Toyota Hilux Legend 55 could feature any one of three mills. The current Legend comes in a choice of two engine options. The standard GD-6 2.8-litre turbodiesel; which produces 150kW of power and 500Nm of torque, and the 48V which adds mild electrical assistance to the same diesel mill to produce an additional 12kW/65Nm. ALSO READ: 'New' Toyota Hilux spied again as reported 2026 debut gets closer Another alternative in the stable is the uptuned version of GD-6 diesel engine used in the GR Sport (GR-S). It produces 165kW/550Nm and is only offered on the GR-S. Styling upgrade for Toyota Hilux Legend 55 The one piece of hardware we can be certain of is the gearbox. Like all the mentioned engines, the Legend 55 will most certainly feature the same six-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota Hilux Legend 55 features the same widebody and wide track suspension as the GR-S III. The model on display at SOMI featured bespoke alloy wheels. But these were not shod in all-terrain rubber like the GR-S. The Toyota Hilux Legend 55 shown at SOMI featured black fog light bezels, grille and mirror caps. It also boasted a Legend 55 branded bash plate, extended wheels arches, side steps and new sports bar. New interior details were given, but we expect a good dose of Legend 55 branding inside.

Key details of the updated 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross lineup, including pricing, has been leaked online. A dealer bulletin shared on the Toyota Corolla Cross Owners Australia group on Facebook reveals the entire lineup will receive a $960 price hike, while also detailing some of the spec changes coming to the small crossover SUV. Toyota has previously confirmed a local launch for the upgraded small SUV in the second half of 2025. We've contacted the company for an update. Per the bulletin, the Corolla Cross will arrive at dealerships in late July in both GX and Atmos trims, with the GXL and new GR-S trim (pictured below) arriving in early October. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The bulletin mentions 'production delays due to pending certification' for the GXL and GR-S, which were originally set to arrive alongside the rest of the range. The updated lineup will open at $37,440 before on-road costs for the base front-wheel drive GX, and top out at $50,990 before on-roads for both the all-wheel drive Atmos and GR-S. All variants get HF01234YF refrigerant for their air-conditioning systems and an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) to alert passersby to the hybrid SUV's presence. The front and rear Parking Support Brake function, which applies the brakes if it detects an object or vehicle and which was previously exclusive to the Atmos, is being rolled out to the GX and GXL. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The GXL also picks up the following features from the Atmos: Rain-sensing wipers Surround-view camera Snow drive mode (all-wheel drive model only) Wireless phone charger Heated front seats The Atmos gains ventilated front seats. There's also updated centre console trim for the GX, GXL and Atmos. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The new GR-S (or GR Sport) variant revealed in May features unique front and rear bumpers, as well as lower sports suspension, retuned steering, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels. Ever since petrol-powered variants were dropped locally in 2024, all Australian-market Corolla Cross vehicles come with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid powertrain delivering 146kW of total system power. The wider range receives refreshed exterior styling including new LED headlight internals for the GXL and Atmos. Toyota may be the best-selling car brand in Australia by a country mile, but the Corolla Cross was only the seventh best-selling vehicle in its segment last year, behind the MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, GWM Haval Jolion, Mazda CX-30, Mitsubishi ASX and Subaru Crosstrek.
