WINTER BONUS MAGAZINE 2026

The record-breaking showcase formed part of Toyota’s inaugural dynamic Hilux Showcase at NAMPO. The showcase attracted significant interest and excitement from customers and enthusiasts alike. Since it’s South African debut in 1969, the locally manufactured Toyota Hilux has become synonymous with durability, dependability, and everyday capability. At the historic event, one of the oldest Hilux model dated back to the early 1970s. Another Hilux had travelled over one million kilometres - a true reflection that the Hilux is indeed built to last, generation after generation. The historic, record-breaking event offered a festive, family-friendly atmosphere with live entertainment, exclusive giveaways, and a variety of spot prizes. To celebrate further, one lucky participant, Hendrik Coetzee, won a brand new, new generation Toyota Hilux Xtra Cab with complimentary insurance and accessories. His selection came as part of a draw open to participants in the world record attempt. Coetzee’s selection makes him one of the first customers in South Africa to take ownership of a new-generation Hilux. To further amplify the excitement, Toyota also undertook four additional Guinness World Record attempts during the event. These results are currently under adjudication and will be announced once officially confirmed. “Our customers are our community and their participation reaffirmed that the Hilux is not only a vehicle. It is a legacy that is proudly South African - one that is truly built for generations and built into families, communities, and shared moments. To everyone who came out to support us, thank you for being part of Toyota’s local history and the Hilux legacy. We couldn’t have done any of this without you,” added Theron. Toyota is at the 2026 Nampo Harvest Festival until Friday, 16 May. Festival goers are invited to go and experience the new generation Hilux at the Toyota Avenue and the exhilarating UrbanTrax. https://www.toyota.co.za/
