How many people can Toyota Hilux carry?

The Toyota Hilux’s passenger capacity depends on the cab configuration you choose. In modern models, a typical Double Cab seats up to five, an Xtra (Extended) Cab seats four, and a Regular/Single Cab seats two. This guide explains those numbers and what to check when shopping or planning trips.


Seat capacity by cabin configuration


To help buyers understand seating options, below is a concise breakdown of the main Hilux configurations and their usual passenger limits. Regional variations can affect exact figures.



  • Double Cab (four doors): up to five occupants — two in the front and a rear bench for three.

  • Xtra Cab / Extended Cab (two doors with a small rear seat): typically four occupants — two front seats and a rear bench for two; some markets may offer different rear seating arrangements.

  • Regular / Single Cab (two doors, one row): typically two occupants — only the front seats.


For buyers and operators, the takeaway is clear: five seats in a Double Cab, four in an Xtra Cab, and two in a Regular Cab. Always verify the exact seating on your vehicle’s specification sheet or door placard to avoid surprises.


Practical implications for use


Beyond the raw seat count, safety belts, cargo space, and overall comfort matter when planning trips or daily use. Some markets and model years offer variations in rear seating, and future updates could adjust layouts. If you regularly transport more than four adults, the Double Cab is the sensible choice.


Summary


In short, the Toyota Hilux’s capacity is configuration-dependent: five seats in a typical Double Cab, four in an Xtra Cab, and two in a Regular/Single Cab. Check the specific vehicle’s specs for your market and model year to confirm exact numbers.
