Did you hear the news? For the first time in 15 years, Toyota has revealed a new-generation HiAce van and bus range with advanced safety features, powerful new engines, and enhanced ride comfort and specification! The all-new HiAce will be the total solution for transporting cargo, tourists, workers and families, perfect for the Sunshine Coast! And you don’t have to wait much longer the new HiAce will be hitting the Sunshine Coast mid-2019!
What is different about the all-new HiAce?
Visually, a lot! The all-new HiAce has had a shift to a semi-bonneted design to
allow for a stiffer frame, stronger straight-line performance, greater stability and manoeuvrability and more pliant suspensions.
Beyond expanding the vehicle's core mission as capable, durable and reliable transport, it has now stepped up to deliver the comfort and safety that today's motorists demand for private use.
What all-new HiAce van and bus models are offered?
The all-new HiAce van will be available in:
- 2-seat long wheelbase
- 2-seat super-long wheelbase
- 5-seat long wheelbase crew van
- 12-seat super-long wheelbase commuter bus
The bottom edge of the front door is lower and comes with a wider step for easier access. The larger front-door glass and a lower beltline improve visibility.
In the rear, the new leaf spring suspension span has been increased by 200 mm, extending the bound stroke by an impressive 30 mm for a comfortable ride while enhancing handling and stability! This will make longer drive much more comfortable and enjoyable!
Why is the all-new HiAce perfect for tradies on the Sunshine Coast?
Plenty of reasons!
The sixth-generation HiAce range will be offered with two new engines - a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel or a 3.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, both available with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.
Excellent cargo capacity - a maximum of 6.2 cubic metres for the long wheelbase and 9.3 cubic metres for the super long wheelbase due to longer wheelbases and clever packaging that increases internal width by 215mm and height by 5mm without altering overall exterior width!
The super long wheelbase two-seat van is capable of accommodating Australian standard pallets (1165mm x 1165mm) through its wider sliding side doors.
Towing capacity has been expanded to a maximum 1,900kg on key variants, an improvement of up to 500kg.
A reversing camera and up to nine airbags are complemented by an optional digital rear-view mirror that provides a wide field of view unobstructed by headrests, occupants or cargo.
Numerous flat-mount surfaces and anchor points make it easy to alter the vehicle for specialised use.
All-new HiAce also features advanced safety technologies, including a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian and cyclist detection.
All-new HiAce will save you time and money!
The HiAce was designed to improve whole-of-life costs with excellent reliability and resale value along with minimal downtime and affordable maintenance. The semi-bonnet design makes it significantly easier and quicker to replace parts such as the oil and air filters, battery, and coolant.
