Toyota is set to release brand new models in the upcoming new year, including the anticipated Corolla Pickup. Toyota has long been a company that has held its place as one of the top vehicle developers in the world. Constantly producing reliable and advanced models, which range from entry-level to luxury, the Japanese developer has established a loyal following through catering to different consumer bases while also continuing to embrace sustainable engine technology.

Toyota continues to stay ahead of the curve

Toyota has consistently prioritized reliable models that embody innovative technological advancement. By ensuring that their vehicles remain durable and reliable, while also not sacrificing on advanced engine capabilities, the company seamlessly caters their models to the first-time buyer all the way to those looking for more luxury vehicle offerings.

One of the most iconic models recognized on the road by the Japanese developer includes the Toyota Corolla, a vehicle that was first introduced in 1966 and has not left Toyota’s lineup since. Known for its fuel efficiency and entry-level price tag, the vehicle has evolved with the times while maintaining a reputation as a quality and value-for-money option.

On top of Toyota’s ability to adapt and evolve its vehicles through multiple generations, the company has remained an industry leader in sustainable and alternative engine technology, particularly when it comes to hydrogen fuel-cell technology. Recognizing a gap in the market amidst the rise in competition for the electric vehicle, Toyota ensured that it continued to develop its electric engine offerings while also investing in its hydrogen fuel-cell projects in order to emerge as an industry leader in multiple alternative engine technologies.

The new Corolla pickup debuts with this surprise vehicle

Next year, Toyota will be releasing its first-ever ‘Corolla pickup’ for American consumers. While the company has developed midsize trucks (with its flagship model being the Tacoma), it may very soon be releasing a smaller truck, pertaining to the character of the iconic Corolla: compact, precise, and efficient.

“Decisions have been made. The question is when we can slot it in. It’s not a matter of ‘if’ at this point,” described  Toyota Motor North America’s head of planning and strategy Cooper Ericksen regarding the debut of a small Toyota pickup truck.

Reports estimate that Toyota may release a small pickup as early as 2028. However, if they are to compete with models such as the Ford Maverick, the preferred small pickup for the American consumer, experts describe that Toyota will need to perfect pricing, towing-performance, and fuel economy features. They will also need to compete with local competitors who are also looking to penetrate the American pickup market.

On top of an upcoming Toyota small pickup, the company may also debut a brand new version of the Hilux as early as 2027; however, it has yet to confirm this date. In January of this year, the new Hilux model was spotted in Thailand undergoing vehicle testing.

New vehicles and technologies for the future

Each year, new vehicles are seen on the road with associated technologies that break boundaries and heights that have never been thought to move beyond conception. While many of these breakthroughs have been associated with advancements in alternative engine technology, a new technology that is beginning to accelerate in development is fully automated vehicle technology.

To date, there are five levels of automated vehicle technology, with current ones limited to levels one and two, which still require driver assistance. However, companies such as Tesla are currently underway with developing level three and four automated driving technologies, which would not require a driver to be behind the wheel when these technologies are in use. However, before these become available to consumers, companies will need to address regulatory and ethical concerns.
