Yeah, it's a box on wheels, but it's a box on wheel that just won't DIE!
Can absolutely second that!
They die.. In Kenya we sell more hiace engines than of any other car... The 7L is worst possible engine the hiace ever made. 3L or 5L are thought..
@@njenga.n.n He meant the diesel engine I think. It is in the prado and hilux. Won't break down when your in the Aussie bush driving neat Ivan Milat or Bradley Murdoch.
N.N N.N Is the 7L a V6?
Honestly, all the work cars i used was dmx's (long bed 2x4) hailux, hiace, prado and fj80 and they were beasts, never stucked with them abd they always did the job.. I am a big fan of toyota because they get take an abuse and still get things done, big ups fkr the new hiace im looking forward to order one when it wl be possible
RWD manual V6. Amazing this is now the cheapest way to buy a sports car! And people wonder why I sometimes prefer to drive my work car.
Where do I sign up?
Just got to fit it with the right exhaust too. People wouldn’t know what passed them on the highway!
Thats why you can see people use them for drifting in Asian countries
V6 in a HiAce? Now it's becoming even more interesting, even though I'd still rather get a Diesel.
And then fit a TRD supercharger!
very good review, really help a lot.
We use the HiAce as for public transport in my country. This new version is going to be great! Awesome review!
I'm waiting for these to hit the kenyan market and see them pimped out 😂
@@DuncanWekesa we use the older models im country and man those drivers can design their van bro
Same as well in my country
the HiAce is very popular with transporters in Zim and SA. Its a great van/minibus
Ph to😇
In the Philippines the Hiace is offered in many variants. The commuter, Grandia GL, And a Grand Touring. And the hiace is more on for a big family, for traveling or just for uv express.
I can tell this new HiAce will sell well. Its come a heck of a long way too-the previous generation didn't even have a tachometer.
Thank you for this information
Great review, here in the Philippines is the first to launch that van but no video review here so sad
Search PatrickReyesTV doon may review siya.
Also 2019 Mazda Bongo van (2005 Hiace).
I love the rear view mirror
I want Hiace now and I dont do heavy work
This would be great for fitting out as a camper or home on wheels
Roof is only 140cm so you would be crouched over cooking or walking in the van. The super long wheel version is 165 cm.
Good test, thanks. You didn't mention Mercedes Benz Vito - the updated version that should be in AU this year I believe. Test them all pls :)
Hi-Ace is very popular amongst tradies & consumer for commercial/passenger purpose in Malaysia. Wonder if Nissan brought this new version to my country, I guess it's looks like more practical for camper van.
it does not make sense to me why the hiace doesnt come with 4wd in australia most nearly all of these vans get turned into a campervan in the later stages of there life and it would be super handy to have
They do it’s called a jacana at Taree
Went to have a look at 1 in the weekend was going to trade my old 2002 2.4 petrol hiace button it's hard to let go of the old girl so reliable service it once a year $50
We had a slightly smaller one on fleet. Don't see too often, same with the NV200 which is a rebodied Vuaxhall Vivaro/Peugeot Boxer/Renault Master. The HiAce we had had broken doors. Think it got sold off n now we have Transits and Vivaros.
I do hope the cargo version is coming to America.
I've always loved the Hiace's, they drive the best. Being a sparky we need the vans to practically live out of.
the rough roads of East Africa - Uganda. i don't know much about this new gen but can if it be custom made as a Safari van. i look forward to this new gen.
Maybe Hilux 4WD bits fit
Liked the boxy styling of the previous version, it wasnt that safest way but looked great and was very practical with lots of space on the inside. I only got to experience these as tourist buses in alot of countries, the safety there comes or doesnt come from the driver :) Nobody is buckled up anyways and with these speeds of maniac tourist bus drivers even larger crumple zone wouldnt be enough :)
The 2.8 diesels had problems with the pre-DPF injector clogging up the DPF filter.
I’ll be impressed when it hits 800,000 km like the old generation does on the same engine 2.7 petrol.
Those 2.7 are crazy reliable. Used as maxi taxi in Aus. on LPG too. Just basic required servicing and they keep on going.
I would definitely buy a Toyota if it came to Canada. Presently have a Metris which is great but it needs a diesel. Unfortunately import vehicle distributors cater to the American market when it comes to engines and Canadians so not get diesels as often as they would like.
We need these in Canada!
We need this in USA !!!!
So the Nissan Urvan/NV350 is the last one with mid-engine chassis.
Wonder why Toyota hasn't brought that to America because Nissan has now entered the commercial vehicle segment with their NV models
Nissan.lol...nissan copies toyota autos honda d same.nissan is junk.dnt hold a resale value.its cheaper .ans sell cheaper.toyota king
Dorran Robinson In 2016 Nissan Global announced ( newsroom.nissan-global.com/releases/160921-02-e )the Nissan Nv 300 which is a collaboration with Renault. In year 2019 Toyota introduces the new Hiace. Review the video below who is copying the other? th-cam.com/video/CpCEv5Sppmw/w-d-xo.html. Resale value for Toyotas is higher due to perception and availability of cheap spare parts worldwide. Resale value of the best European vehicle brands is lower due to expensive repair costs due to expensive spares. But for LCVs (light commercial vehicles) Nissan Vehicles retain their value due to reliability and cheap repair costs compared to Toyota LCV. Case in point is that I own a Nissan Urvan TD 27 LCV that is 35 years, mileage 547,000kms / 342K miles and in a day, it can still cover 1000kms / 625 miles without a sweat. A friend of mine owned a Toyota Hiace 2KD with a D4D Engine that he sold in 2018 due to high maintenance cost from replacement of diesel injectors, turbo and off road the car could not cope due to a rigid rear end or leaf spring setup resulting wheel lifted. But the car on tarmac, was better especially less body swings when cornering.
@@dorranrobinson6207 Nissan van ha ha. I just spilt my Milo reading that. Nissan junk van ha ha.
I used to ride on the minibus versions of the Hi-Ace. They're pretty nice
I think it's brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
Better review than caradvice, you guys deserve more viewers
Hooooo friend that was exactly what i was filling
Yep!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Yep!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Although Matt Campbell used to work at CarAdvice. CarAdvice was better when he was still there before, then CarsGuide became better after he joined this motoring site.
Thanks! Be sure to share that opinion with your friends, family, anyone who'll listen :)
Cheers
Matt
My nxt car Diesel version... Can't wait as my Camper ....!!! Cheers
Was looking at a new van for a couple years and nothing compares to the old hiace, I ended up getting one with low ks in pretty good nick and I hope that lasts till toyota brings it back or something better comes because the new ones not the right horse for the course
Old Hiace is JDM 2022 Mazda Bongo Brawny
6sp manual v6 rwd. I'm sold.
You can't load pallet on back door, the forkleft will bump the door.
Let them hit 300,000kms then compare the vans with 30,000km service intervals and the 10,000km intervals
Couldn't agree more. 30k out of oil is why European vehicles only last 1/3 the life of Toyota.
Don't even argue with the idiots... proper maintainance isn't for everyone.
@@recommit Which is why I run an European built vehicle with long life service schedule on 10k oil changes.
Airborne Images is that a Ford?🤣
@@rasa319 Ha ha I just spilt my dinner reading that. Ford van ha ha.
Jeez you Aussie's are lucky to have access to that van. I'm in Canada and would love one... but not available.
Don't think this is available in Europe, either. Instead, we have the ProAce, which is basically a Peugeot.
Also Hiace is also ubiquitous in Philippines. Passenger models are only sold there. I know because I live in Philippines. Also, Philippine spec Hiace has no V6 option.
Come here down in Africa and buy yours.... You'll love it..... I hope
I'm so disappointed as well. I live in CANADA.
The Big Three would never allow a decent competitor on ANY American soil including Canada. The chicken tax and lobbyists make sure the white collar types get their dividends and keep trucks huge, expensive, and profitable. Any sensible vehicle like this would upset the market far more than the FCA vans or Sprinters
The good news is that the previous generation Hiace will be still produced for those who still wants the old flat nose design. I believe it might be available only for selected markets.
I know that Japan will keep the previous generation model.
@@LouisSubearth Also the Philippines will still keep selling the previous model alongside the current generation model.
Victor Torres I don't know if the previous gen will still be sold in the Philippines together with the newer one but Japan will really get the older one since the vehicle regulations there aren't in favor with the new version.
@@karlalejandroresurreccion5778 Space regulations? As far as safety and emissions go, the new HiAce is better, but it's also larger, so it would be taxed higher there.
@@karlalejandroresurreccion5778 It will still be sold alongside the current model as I've have still seen the old generation model still standing at my local showroom here in the Philippines (most arrivals are both mix of old and current generation Hiaces).
i hate it how they advertise 10,000km servicing as a bad thing
Is this van ladder frame or unibody? If it's ladder frame, I'll probably get one when my current van is too old for work.
Thanks for video... But nothing between the seats where I put my left hand 🤔
The fifth generation HiAce will be a iconic vehicle for me because I grew up with it and the rumble of the diesel engine makes actually satisfy me in a way ( nd yes i know about the dangers of this van but who cares)
It looks terrible but it’s probably pretty good. I personally like the look and dimensions of the Renault Traffic and the only thing stopping me from buying one of those is that it’s not Japanese.
Will it ever have Apple car play on the Hong Kong versions?
I wish toyota would build a big van like the sprinter
ENTERTAIN ME !!
They do is called the Toyota coaster!.
Wally Big wheels Toyota Coaster is Cabover bus but Sprinter and 2019 Hiace are semi bonneted engine with hood.
Coaster is the best van ever made i have seen that take a corner full load i think it carries like 30 ppl and it cornered on 4 wheels bare in mind this coaster had 6 wheels
If this came to the USA, I would buy one immediately! Please Toyota, we need a reliable van in America!
I have a new HiAce Diesel for a work van and the only complaint I have is that there’s no adjustable lumbar support in the drivers seat! I spend many hours in the seat every day and I have to put a cushion behind me for my lower back which at this price point is ridiculous.
That cap... so gangsta
Thanks
Honestly, all the work cars i used was dmx's (long bed 2x4) hailux, hiace, prado and fj80 and they were beasts, never stucked with them abd they always did the job.. I am a big fan of toyota because they get take an abuse and still get things done, big ups fkr the new hiace im looking forward to order one when it will be possible in israel.
The Matatu industry in Kenya is closely watching this....that Rear End panels design is more Peugeot led.
For sure
All these new Vans here in the UK aren't a patch on the last 2012 Hiace with the d4d engine. Mine has done over 400k and counting and has never missed a beat. The new plastic fantastic Hiaces aren't even made by Toyota, they are shared here with Citroen and Peugeot with just a Toyota badge stuck on.
2:10 interesting how it has a full view windows from the inside but apparently only glasses in front from the outside.
Rear wheel drive Van's rule! My previous Hiaces were faultless but emissions rules meant I had to get rid of them for something I didn't really want. Toyota UK if you want my money offer this not a Peugeot Proace.
SA Taxi drivers are going to be so excited!
We are we are waiting for it the V6 baba wohh
Congrats on making it look like a common van like the rest. I'm guessing the full turning Circle which made the hiace Superior no longer Exist. I'll pass on this thing.
The old hiACE is popular 4 public use in my country "KENYA"... Hope they introduce the new one, it looks good🙌
You beat me to it, was gonna point that one out. From Nairobi as well.
Big up
it’s a modern in-betweener of a Suburban and a ProAce
I don't like the ProAce, i want to have this Hi-Ace in europe!
Hiaces were super popular in Finland too, but they had to pull out of Europe because of strict emission laws...
Are you sure emissions were the reason for its phaseout there? It used the very same engine fitted to the Hilux at the time.
I think it is crash rating not emissions.
Wikipedia says it's both emissions and crash ratings.
Crash ratings seem to be a more accurate reason.
Mr, is it diesel engine and awd? 🙏🇮🇩☮♥
@4:15 on the side u see stainless steel side protection, any one know where to get that from, thanks in advance
Australia Post are finally getting smort and are beginning to buy the Hiace and there are a lot of very old Hiaces driving around still been used as work vans because they have that famous Toyota reliability l did own a lite ace once but still have a 1997 Toyota Hilux and l realy like any Toyota because there are so many on the road old ones not so old ones and newer ones and this newer one is very nice van
Peugeot Expert, Citroën Jumpy, Opel Vivaro and Toyota Proace is the same van :O
@pete smyth He was talking about other brands getting in the action.. Displaying a Peugeot Expert.. But yeah.. Be a bitch dude..
Does lane keep assist keep you centred without holding the wheel. Also what speed does adaptive cruise control go down to? Thanks
Aaron Goodchild lane assist just bogs motor down , can be turned off
Lane keep assist vibrated the steering wheel if you wonder out of your own lane. You can connect the vibrations to a metal rod and direct them to your balls so that when you leave your lane your balls vibrate. That's what I like to do.
I wonder why they are not selling them in the us!
Is this a PSA platform?
Should have mentioned how it stacks up against the ProAce (or the other PSA vehicles).
We don't get ProAce here, but we will put it against the Peugeot Expert later this year.
Cheers
Matt
With the V6 it can be a drift van
Now with a big V6. Maybe that’s why we don’t get it in Europe. Instead, we get a rebadged Peugeot Expert called the Toyota Proace and Proace Verso for the passenger model.
I understood that old generation delivery Van's can be fitted with chiller units where as in new generation Van's it's not possible ...can anybody advice ??
We need this in USA 🇺🇸!!!!!
Hiace V6 Auto hi roof in gold will do me for a Camper Van conversion 👍👍👍👍
All of Toyotas competitors in the van segment must be delighted that they don't offer barn doors. No forklift access = no sale!
3:40 forklift
well in germany: toyota sells a van.
its called a toyota Proace.
it is the peugeot / citroen jumper with a toyota badge smacked onto it. 100%
DESCENT well it looks like the 2013 rav4 from the front
He is much smaller than the new Hiace
Waiting for Brand new Toyota Tarago (based on Daihatsu Gran Max / Mazda Bongo / Toyota Liteace)
Solution to the V6 fuel consumption (specially if your in Victoria, New South Wales, SA). Convert it onto LPG!
And before someone calls me an idiot, I know LPG conversion isn't the best idea in everyone use case (especially if you're in a rural area or live somewhere like Queensland). However, many dealers are an authorized LPG installer, you will still make your money back on the conversion after 40,000-50,000km and, you won't have to deal with any diesel DFP issues and whatnot. The only issue is that Toyota might void your warranty for the conversion, should you have any problem with the engine (however if you're getting it done by the dealer, then I don't see any issue as the dealer should provide a warranty regardless).
@@madhardcorenick you cannot put lpg on a car with direct injection.
@@jakewarren9465 You can if you use a Liquid phase direct injection system, which squirts LPG directly into the combustion chamber.
I like the boxy to
Toyota needs to bring it to the USA !
This. I think it'd crush sales from Ford and Ram.
Ford Transit is an Abortiion on wheels!! Biggest money pit vehicle i have ever used!!! I would be the first in line for this Toyota!!!
this would be king of cargo vans in the US if they ever started selling them here
Nice car
hmm... i wonder if we can do a manual swap for the is350... the engine maybe slightly different, but bolt pattern should be the same. would be super fun to have a manual is350.
mitsubishi went with a similar style and it hurt their sales so much they reverted back to the previous body....seems like this new hiace has much the same dislikes that hurt mitsubishi but the v6 is a welcome change but why not a hybrid?
I didn't realise Alex Williamson was a car enthusiast
Are you saying I look like Alex Williamson?
Funny, you're not the first to point that out. He's a handsome devil.
Cheers
Matt
The old hiace is the smallest work van with the longest loading space!! I have never seen a 2.7m long loading space in under 5m van and narrow enough to fit anywhere!!!
Things
Just wish they had more towing capacity so I can drag an mini excavator around.
The genuine accessories kick arse. Toyota has been the leader in this area since the mid 90's. For commercial vehicles the factory needs to be on point...........and they are due to the Kaizen philosophy.
I want one, but why is not avalieble in europ? 😭😭😭
The passenger Hiace is a legendary car in South Africa.
in --- Africa
There fixed it for you.
Tell me that theres an option for 3 seats in the front?
I dont think so because of the handbrake...
Sorry you can't take your wife and mistress at the same time in the new Hiace.
About 10 jears ago there was a Simular Toyota van in europe with a front engine thuis is a improoft version
Is dis van Cuming to Ireland
You barely notice the wheels on the front instead of behind the cabin. Looks like the japaneese spec hiace anyways. Looks abit smaller. Well shorter. Wonder will we have them here in ireland. The proace was just a toyota badged peugeot expert.
1:17 now it’s 2019 Mazda Bongo Brawny
lol
Hi all any advice on v6 auto
Transit Custom!! Miles ahead.
Not a chance, late model Transits are ok when they aren’t broken, but unfortunately that doesn’t remain the situation for long at all. They simply can’t take the abuse meted out to them by merciless drivers, whereas the HiAce can.
I owned a transit , it’s not reliable
It was better before this, but now I’d take the HiAce. Depending on how much load space you need, the Euro vans can be better the FWD layout allows significant more space in the rest, however it compromises the weight carrying ability. Most of the Euro vans also come in a real LWB version, this HiAce really is a SWB. Amazing there is no centre front seat on this. Also has two good features from the Transit Custom missing, the flip up roof racks and the heated seats.
So you say the long wheel base is the shortest wheelbase (WTF) then ten seconds later it's the longest version you can get?????? Can you try again please?
It might be good, but I still like the flat-nose ones
zOiNhUh TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! 😊👍🏻
not a massive fan of the new loo, however from a sales pov i can see why they changed it. Id prefer an option to keep it flat nosed but wider with a lower centre of gravity
@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 I'm sure the new look is more attractive to international markets, but maybe the flat-nose would remain for the JDM at least as an option, since anything wider than 1.7M and longer than 4.7M is liable to higher taxes.
zOiNhUh na there are rubbish compared to a car seat style, old shape is a death trap mate, go drive it and u will be changed like me , wide to park is the only down fall mate, and no 3 seat , even my wife said how did you fit in the old for 13 years, I would want $300 a hour to get back in the old shape
A van with similar Hilux turbo diesel engine?? will it be same price as a new Hilux.
Yes.
Any chance that it will come to the US market?
Nope
