They come with either a 3.5-litre petrol V6 engine or a 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine from the HiLux.

6 speed manual, rear wheel drive and 6 cylinders. The new Hiace is more supra than the new supra
no inline 6
No Dedicated suspension
not in the same category
Final Touch Car Care you must be fun at dinner parties
😂
Probably more fun to drive than the new supra too at least I can shift some gears.
the same motor can’t be using the same amount of fuel whether it’s manual or auto, there has to be a difference
BIG ROD between your legs, GIANT SHAFT between your feet. Whatever do you mean!?!?!?!?😂😂
😂😂😂
99% perfect, loses 1% for the non existent drivers left armrest 😤😤😤
Congratulations I liked the van, good looking, looking stronger, and fast 💨
Everything looks good, I probably will get one!
Removing middle seat it’s worst decision you can’t lay down for your break and if your van is refrigerated it’s your worst choice also needed to upgrade the fuel tank which is very small .. everything else looks awesome
They do 10,000kms service for long term reliability. Most 90’s hiace did over 500,000kms
-500,000kms- 1 000 000kms.
Our 2010 D4D 3ltr 5spd man is over a million kms and still going STRONG! Do not like the new one above!
@@barryphillips7327 The new one is butt-ugly, but i like because of the engine now being in the front instead of under the driver, which makes it MUCH more safer and stable. But someone responded to me in another comment that they been having a HiAce with a long bonnet for years. Which once have you been getting in your country? Flat bonnet?
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior the Toyota Hiace in the UK had a bonnet. It was basically the 90s version with a bonnet and that was made until 2011 bit then they replaced it with the Proace which is a rebadged Peugeot. I love the Hiace and I'd rather have it than the Proace. Probably should import one of these
You are soooooo much better off with the servicing every 6 months 👍
Constant fresh oil = longer mechanical component life in turn saving you lots of $$$ Down the road.
Only taken 15 years to make your leading van look like a Pokémon / transformer ....WTF TOYOTA !!!!!
It isn't even a Toyota Its a shitty Citroen
@@rabbitskinner what do you mean
@@terrificspokesman7416 He probably means it looks like a Citroen Van, however to be honest I like this new HiAce more than the previous gen.
loved this vent
Even this is much safer and modern than the old van, I love the old cab over van design
me too
If barn doors are so critical maybe you can explain HiAce sales over the past 15 years.
No barn door not an option for my business, until this day still keep swapping second hand sbv for our use
Service intervals are directly linked to longevity and reliability. Which is the no1 thing Toyota has going for it
I suppose the new look form and function of this van is similar to the Vellfire or smaller Noah
What’s the cargo area length with a cargo barrier installed?
This is the global version model, the original flat front variant is still going to be sold in Japan.
Dee T that’s good news!
Also the Philippines and other countries will still have this model sold.
@@realVicTorres02 What the flat front one?
@@deet4895 That's what I've said. The fifth generation model will still be sold alongside the current generation model.
@@realVicTorres02 got it.
OMG. What did they do with the exterior design? I mean, the outgoing model was a step forward from the one before it, but this one takes two steps back.
It's all about safety man. The new design is significantly safety thanks to something as simple as putting the engine infront instead of under the driver. Old hiace was a death-trap.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior My mistake, I'm from Europe, and I forgot we now call our HiAce for ProAce. I don't think the engine has been under the driver since the 80's over here. It seems our HiAce was something called Granvia? Anyways... it seems it got a nose over here in 1995.
I now realise I made a big mistake by posting on a video from a completely different continent. :P
@@kimmern999 the Proace is just a rebadged Peugeot
When they continue Manuals in their vans, but not in a supra
This!
And:the TNGA platform can be used for the Prius,Corolla,C-HR and this,but NOT a Supra?
This isnt a BMW van
Kenya Matatu industry is closely watching this thing....ultimate people mover in Africa.
Damn i wish we had these in the states...
and in Europe
Whats the difference between the hiace and the proace?
Would be nice if the V6 Petrol will go back into hilux
The alloys are a very nice idea this time,are they standard? I am tired of the stupid wheelcaps that are being stolen everyday at the shopping malls, parking bays, mountain hiking or even at the restaurants at night..just about everwhere
Am confused....is this the new Quantum?
Hace un vídeo en español del hiace
WHY CAN'T WE GET THE V6 IN HILUX???
What about showing us the cargo space?
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
They are still going to sell the old model alongside this... thing.
Speaking as a Hi Ace driver not sure, this one looks a bit UGLY too me!
Will it be sold in the UK, had Hiace all the time and been the best of the vans I had.
Come on Johnny, the choice of European vans are leaps and bounds ahead of not only the old hiace but also the new one.
@@jordang8208 I'd have this van rather than a Proace which is a rebadged Peugeot
I think you'd have to import one yourself
I'm waiting for the barn door option Toyota!!!
why doesnt toyota enter the commercial market in the US?!?
Sick of over complicated diesels. It's a van. A 6sp v6 is a win for me.
Do they offer bench seats as am extra?
No only a middle Mistress seat.
I got to drive a new diesel hi-ace when my trafic had issues...i did 10 000 k's in it and at no stage was the fuel economy anywhere near 7.5 l per 100 K's..best i could do was low 12's with a maximum of high 13's which is pathetic ...the traffic does consistent 8-9 L per 100 K's also the trafic has an 80 L tank compared to a 60L tank in the hi-ace..
Thanks for your feedback.
What about the Fortuner too!
It's Dpf is a failure too
Why ignore the Fortuner?
That would be a nightmare to work on
is there version for familys?
"Soccer mom" version is surely in the line-up.
Great rewiew. How disappointing that it has hydraulic stearing and that woeful tailgate. Love the massively improved cabin though and entry/egress is probably as good as the iload now (which has always had a barn door option. Accountants bought the old model for their fleets and drivers hated that entry and egress pain!
Wayne Hobbs Absolutely nothing wrong with hydraulic steering, it is not outdated at all and more often than not it gives you better feel, I only know of a few cars with electric steering that performs just like hydraulic steering and has awesome feel and that is the bmw m3/4. Other than that electric steering is not the best if you enjoy actually driving the car...
Hidraulic steering is much much better
Nothing wrong with hydraulic steering. It has better feel than electric steering
@@macdonaldjohnstonfan yes, electric is only 95% as good as hydraulic at ten tenths driving. People who drive toyota hiaces or most Toyotas for that matter are beige cardigan wearers, lawn bowlers or folk that think cricket is a sport. Hydraulic uses engine power and increases fuel consumption.
Looks like the Nissan nv250
The design seems to remind me of the French trio; Renault Citroen Peugeot...
We call it a Toyota Quantum in South Africa.
We call it Toyota Shark or Boxx in KENYA.
New quantum
Still no barn door after 2 years
Japończyk zawsze jest wdzięczniejszy !
Looks very European. I would have a difficult time trying to get use to this model. I prefer the cab over design. I have a 1987 Lwb high roof with the 2 L 2.4 non turbo diesel which has rear airconditioning in the rear.
It is European its a shitty old rebadged Citroen
Can you stand up in inside ?
Yes if you are 5 foot tall or smaller.
dont mind it tbh
Well this is same as the new Toyota GRANVIA that is replacing the beloved Tarago, would have been better with lexus badge plus all luxury bits and pieces.
Not quite. They share a platform but the rear end uses a different suspension setup.
Toyota are correct with six month servicing. The others use the twelve month interval as a marketing gimmick.
I would stay away from the diesel model. Those comonrail systems are wayyy too expensive . Imagine where im from they sell 1 denso comonrail injector for 900 usd. Thats crazy. I would stick with the gasoline one
NAIEM HANIFF Here in Costa Rica these never go bad, ive seen 1kd/2kd d4d engines with more than 500000kms on the stock injectors. Only the suction valve on the pump goes bad or dirty every 200000kms .
Must of never owned a Toyota 😂
Need foldable arm rest
Six month or 10 000km servicing is way below industry standard.We have a fleet of hi aces now,and this is a PITA,many of the opposition are way longer.
It's a money grab, renault has 30k or one year, VW has 15k, dont know if the crafter has 30k yet.
@@REPOMAN24722 Good luck for that Renault coming close to the longevity of the Hiace though.
@@jarrodheley7879 Know couriers with both, the Renault masters are the longest lasting and most common I see along with the Mercedes Sprinter, The Ducato is also a better van, lots of power and quite reliable, the new HiAce is trash, my friend bought one, missing bolts from factory 10k on the odo and already in the shop for a month waiting for a new stearing rack bearings, electrical harnesses that fried themselves, it's brand new. I don;t see many VAG vans so can't comment on them, I am a VAG fan but when it comes to Vans Renault has it locked no wonder they are the best selling van in Europe.
@@REPOMAN24722 what about ford
Off course renault and ford will be dominating the commercial vehicles segment in europe and world
Seth MacFarlane has his Aussie accent spot on
Saw it last week. Not impressed. Toyota look to have spent all the money up front and kept the rear as cheap as possible.
Wow it’s like they took all the best features from the fiat and iload and added more Toyota features
Daeamingu
It’s typically Japanese practical but ugly
Not commercial in my opinion. Definitely shares iload traits
It looks terrible but maybe a grey colour will help.
Leaf springs?? Sea sickness on the road! Vito and transporter have independent coil sprung rear and still have superior cargo ability. Hiace is a gas guzzling dinosaur. Obviously cheaper to buy due to Australia's distance from Japan.
6 month servicing is below par , Iload, Imax VW transporter all have 12month service interval for a start.
And don't last as long either or as reliable so whats the point
Sure it will sell hotcakes again especially here in Philippines
But it was first launched in the philippines
I have seen this van already starting roaming the streets of the Philippines.
Great van but better with keys less Toyota
Good choice if you don't mind driving a fugly van
So you want a SUPRA?
the only annoying thing is ths automated voice saying please obey all traffic regulations
Looks like Toyota just gave away the top van spot to Hyundai with this ugly thing.
I'll miss the old classic Hiace shape ☹️
It's definitely an acquired taste. Thanks for the feedback!
Why does he keep calling a van a car 🤨
Massive step backward
I own a 2020 HiAce and this video AND the website indicate that Apple and Android are available. This is BULLSHIT.
Ugly is the perfect word for this van! The old one actually looked prettier! This is the reason why I think Toyota makes ugly and wierd car's!☺😊😀😣
Nope, maybe your too stupid to look at its 'ugly' looks. Ugly is not the perfect word for this van, it should be Thanos.
The ugly ones can be fun to ride.
It's because of safety
Who is designing Toyota these days ? They all look crap
This van looks so ugly! My goodness!! even if I had a lot of money, may as well restore a vintage car instead.
Then go restore one lol
its a compromis of design to improve safety and i totally agree with that look at the mercedes sprinter or vw T its ok for me and the v6 option is also very nice because its going to run much more smoother than diesel although
@@justinalbert3583 That's the plan! I've restored an Fj before, now I'm thinking of putting a v8 on an old VW Beetle.
@@carholic-sz3qv I agree, but it's not appealing anymore. Looks still play a huge part in convincing people to purchase this car.
@@klauspoppe7251 yes i totally agree with you they could have make a shorter front because i too really like the older design but it was a little bit incomfortable wen comparing it to citroen or sprinter vans
its ugly and the bonnet is way too much wasted body length only nice thing is the v6 option...and why not a hybrid?
i wonder if electric isnt any good for heavy loads?
So ugly, too big for city 3.5 6 cyl for commercial? 12 lt. 100km empty
Too expensive with option for a toyota and the worst service every 6 month.
WTF a copycat of Renault trafic
Not because all design sam except front more bend down
Not a copy, it is the same fukn van as the Renault/Peugeot.
The big slab of black plastic at the front is just plain ugly......Why? Chevy failed because of the fantastic plastic, but I guess manufacturers don’t care about looks that only a mother could love!
If you like driving a polluting ugly white box around, this is for you. Electric with colour choices, solar on the roof, and some rounded cute body curves, would be better, lol
Electric is not good for the enviorenment. EFuel might take off which will make it less polluting
Ugly van
Thanos van.
Ugly front and rear. A face only a mother could love. Hyundai are streaking ahead with the Staria.
It looks hideous I am about to vomit
uglieset hiace to date. why toyota?
That's very offensive. Mitzuma Flunka, the Japanese head of production, deigned it based on the shape of his wife.
Super ugly van. Old Box design was nicer and more proportional.
Whats the difference between the hiace and the proace?
