Toyota Hiace features and equipment

Features shown below are tied to the available source material for this model. Equipment can vary by year, trim and market.

Standard or documented features

✓2.5 L ''2KD-FTV'' D-4D I4 (Intercooled/Non-Intercooled – Europe)

✓In 2007 the engines were revised for Euro IV compliance with the addition of an intercooler improving max torque to 230 Nm at 1400-2800 rpm for the low power variant and 294 Nm at 1400-2400 rpm for the high power variant and power output to 70 kW and 85 kW respectively at 3600 rpm

✓The 3.0-litre turbocharged diesel is especially favoured as its enormous torque but not so impressive power output are ideally suited to the hilly conditions in a country with an overall 100 km/h speed limit

✓The second facelift was unveiled that year

✓Another model was also unveiled in 2020 known as the Jinbei Haishiwang or Jinbei Haise King

✓Available in both low roof and high roof, the exterior of the rear of the low roof version is styled similarly to the Hiace XH10 and XH20 pre-facelift models sold in the UK and Australian markets while the latter takes on a more refined modern design
