I got 2007 Hiace with 984000kms on the clock.. still goes pretty strong..
+Harpreet Sekhon wood won't be long and it will have 0 km!!, i agree a business I worked for had a number of HiAces, the one I drove was a 2009 SLWB and it was trashed, they let me drive it from Frankston to Ballarat not knowing it didn't have oil or water due to not being serviced in 50,000 km. it drove like new and was fine afterwards!!
How many kms did you get from the old hiace?
@@Jakeman302 Well its a Hiace. As long as he kept up with oil and coolant after making his comment, the hiace should be running fine even now. Easy to do 1 million km in a hiace with casual maintenance. But if you maintain it as aggressively as you would with a less reliable European car (sprinter, crafter, transit, renault, etc) then you can easily do 1,5 million.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior Is a crafter really less reliable?
@@prichardgumpo1604 In my experience, its okay up to around 200k kilometers or just a little more, which is the maximum mileage a lot of companies keep their vehicles for.
If you plan to work the vehicle long term, the Hiace is vastly more reliable since the crafter will become a constant money pit beyond 300k. The price of the turbo alone on a crafter is worth just a little less than an old but fully functional hiace. a petrol version of the hiace is guaranteed to reach 1 million KM on the original engine and transmission.
But if you looking for a van just for camping purposes or for non commercial use, the crafter is fine because you'd more likely die from old age before reaching 1 million KM.
Toyota endurance and reliability easy 500 ,000 -1,000,000km and you will see who reach there first and who spend the least in maintaince cost.
I don't get it... Yes the Renault has newer technology, but the hiace is much larger. Shouldn't you be comparing vans with similar cargo space?
Those results are economical and nice to drive but they give more trouble than a teenager .If we could buy that hiace in Europe it would outsell all others but the health and safety brigade thinks having an engine under the seat is way too dangerous and someone could get a little bit more hurt in an accident .me I'd take my chances if I could have a van that would get me to work everyday without problems
nothing beats reputation
Well my 2007 KDH 3 litre diesel just clocked over 670,000ks and has sweet fa done to the motor, and gets a regular 9-10ks/100 fully loaded. its no sports car but man it has earnt me so much money in my business and cost nothing to run. Check back to how the euro vans are looking at 670,000ks. End of story
MrStubat 9 - 10kms to 100kms. Id like to see u prove that
You must consider fuel. Even if another vehicle lasts half the lifetime, it will pay for itself and a new vehicle in fuel if its more fuel efficient.
Well one thing is for sure, in Europe there are bunches of Renault Trafic standing north of the 500,000 km mark. In a flatter, longer distance travel habits AU. The Renault will also do the same easily. While spending a lot less fuel! With way more comfort and let's not talk safety!! ;-)
There's a good reason why in Europe NONE of the vans with this 80's design (seat over engine, all the way to the front). DON'T sell for decades!! The EuroNcap crash tests for one of this Hiace should be fun to look, from a distance. LOL 😂
Toyota should ditch this design not just in Australia, but other markets also. Some respect for the consumer would be nice. Reason why the European Hiace has a design more in line with this Renault Trafic!!
Well the real test is to be in the middle eastern climate.
The Toyota Hiace is the king.
Renault has tried hard, but unless they really adapt to the hot climate they can’t win.
On the long run kms, Hiace will still be way ahead of Traffic.
I'm having a 1999 toyota hiace van, runs well so far. over 200k on the clock. I think this baby will go further... haha ~~~ never breaks down. thinking a diesel engine now. would go for a hiace again.
👍
which one is the best between hiace and another van
i think this is crap, that was a low end hiace to start out with n hi ace has a good reputation for a reason....renault must have paid for this review
I heard the new shape will change September 2016 correct me if I am wrong!
I always bought toyota But, I recently bought a promaster 1500 and I see I did a good buy.
Renault looks good but isn't the load volume much more in the Hiace?
The hiace is banned from sale in Europe as it’s not safe in a frontal impact.
Hiace is the best 💪
I'll take the HiAce cause more cargo space and mini bus :)
why is the engine so loud on this hiace? we have a 2014 Toyota Hiace Grandia LXV here in Philippines and it's very quiet inside the cabin.
+Giovannie Doldolea We had a microphone failure and had to use the sound directly from the camera which makes the Toyota sound louder than it really is.
its a LXV Grandia, a luxury model unlike this one they tested like a commuter.
although the Hiace engine is loud compared to its competition
I don't know if you guys got the petrol version. Because I know they do have the diesel and the petrol engine variant.
They had the Diesel variant, also, here in the Philippines, HiAces aren't usually commercial vehicles, they're just people-carriers, even in the long wheelbase model.
I also found it strange how loud it is. The Hiace shuttles we drive here are so quiet, that i sometimes "switch on" the ignition without realizing the engine is already running. We drive the petrol engines however.
Hiace is the King of commercial vans and peoplemovers
moesha pempengco king of ma and pa kettle farm. old school . transporter eats hiace in all departments. go drive one and tell me what u think.
Trafic is the best selling van in Europe, because it is better, basically every van is better than the Hiace these days.
@@REPOMAN24722 its not thhe best selling van in europe at all. Dont know where u get ur information pal

My 2004 hiace as all the built in seat storage/clipboard ,wonder if Renault have been copying😊
Well putting it that way. Renault was founded in the XIX century! Toyota was founded a little before WWII. The first Renault vans and cars predate Toyota by several decades! Copying what?! LOL 😂
And how about costing to service these vans. Parts are a major factor when things break. No guessing which car has the cheapest replacement parts.
Which one has the cheapest parts
+MarinaDiamandis4Ever Toyota
The Renault vans are quite popular in the UK. They are known for not being particularly reliable and the 30,000 km intervals which is 15,000 miles is just nonsense. High milage intervals are just there to help sell the van and in the long run it's bad for your engine.
no chance hiace all the way. mines lowered /sound deadening the best
@5:41 the trafic fog light on the left side is not working ? Not good start?
It turns on when indicating :)
+Drive.com.au that looks strange to me ?
A lot of cars these days have this and it really is helpful for turning in to driveways etc.
+Drive.com.au agree thanks do u know any info about the new Hiace August is coming new shape I heard do u know any more ?? Tanks
I imagine (this) technology has not reached the southern hemisphere yet?
Just discovered this video. You forgot to mention all the failings of the Renault. Firstly, there is an aicon pipe that rubs on the body, so 2 months after new, it loses all gas. All 3 work vans were the same as well as 2 vans a friend bought, against my advice. The one I drive came back from its first service with master cylinder failure. At 170,000, it failed again. They burn oil, hazard lights stay on. Turning circle of a semi and tyres chew out on the front quickly.
comparing toyota with renault is like comparing chocolate with shit...
the hi ace is no longer available in Europe has not been for 4 years
Probably the only reason why Renault is the no1 selling van in Europe.
Eduardo
But, , , what about your left foot position?? This stopped me from buying one!!
Glad I'm not the only one, with boots on had to shift foot backwards
Wish they sold this and the new Hiace in the UK rather than the Proace
Hiace problem is two seats only at the front very tight other way is good van
Toyota👍👍
I bought this Van in June 2015. Im very happy, economy and powerfull. It takes only average 26 litres diesel from Sydney-Canberra-Sydney. Thats safe me money. :)
Which van, the Hiace or the Trafic?
another van review with no look on the cargo area. which i why ud get a van. vans ride crap and hiace would have to be one of the worst about. the dated public toilet like facade of the hiace has put me off in recent year. i wouldnt buy the traffic as yet but for a budget euro van id be more comfy driving that around. looks cooler too.
hehehe our 2012 hiace here in philipines overheated 3 times when we go to bicol
If you don't check the water level in ur van then obviously it can be high temperature if water level low.
Even you piss inside the radiator, it won't be go overheat.
I have 2004 model hiace and on clock 320000 miles. Not km.
And its still drives like bigboss.
Never letdown me.
Toyota is overrated
Give me the Hiace over the Renault everytime, Jamaicans love Hiace for commercial and commuting purposes, Renault would rot in the car lot here..
Hahaha same as Polynesians if you come to New Zealand you will notice that every Polynesian pastor owns either a hiace van or Nissan van lol
UI and UX and making hioce
This bloke thinks he's reviewing a car.
*Look like is just a...*
*European van vs japanese van*
Toyota Hiace van is super
Ford Transit Custom all day long.
The toyota looks like the old hippie vw van. 🤣
Don't get a Renault I brought one its only done 30k miles and its on its third turbo and second egr and injectors, there are a loads of shite
That Toyota looks soo wrong in sooooo many ways ! 3 litre diesel ? 1970ies design ? That noise inside , WTF? 12 litres per 100 km? I bet i drives like a seventies car :-) ... and that is the best selling van in Australia ?
Yeah but it lasts and is the most reliable commercial van in the world.
Trafic forever!
Hiace forever
Transit for life
kevin odonovan
promaster for life
redcinos is it not primastar? 🤔
PROmaster
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo9oooooopooooooooow... I want to but this car
Big problem Toyota are only two seats 😡
Toyota seriously needs to up it's game. It's interior is appalling. Big displacement engine but weak power. Renault's engine is so small and compact but producing slightly more than the Toyota. Suspension and body design are still stuck in the 2005. Loud, noisy and ugly. Japanese manufacturer suck nowadays.
Renault Traffic = Nissan NV300
Renault wont last
Hiace is such a crap car lel. Though it's million KM machine.
Then how's it crap
What a stupid comparison, I had one of these hi ace, 33 years ago, only difference is more modern engine, it was 10 years out of date then. Only positive then was reliability, but not in same league as Merc 307d. Test your doing is like comparing a Ford cortina mk5 with modern engine to current ford Mondeo.
Comparer renault et toyota c'est comme comparer l'incomparable
even if the HiAce is better!!! God it is so ugly 🤢
