Toyota Motor Corporation plans to launch three fully electric vehicle (EV) models in South Africa in 2026, as announced on August 15, 2025. These will be Toyota's first fully electric models introduced in the South African market.
This strategic move marks Toyota's official entry into the Battery Electric Vehicle segment in South Africa, where it currently holds a dominant 67% share of the hybrid market. The company aims to leverage its established presence to drive EV adoption.
While these initial EV models will be imported, Toyota has indicated plans to eventually produce some models domestically. This initiative expands Toyota's global electrification footprint and positions it to cater to evolving consumer preferences in the region.
