Key points

• Developed as a new series for overseas markets.
• Emphasis on transporting people, such as use as a shuttle, for tourism, or private buses, as well as logistics, with the Hiace framed as a "working vehicle." In addition to its role as a van, it is positioned as a commuter vehicle and as a vehicle for tourism.
• Basic performance and comfort have been greatly enhanced and advanced-level safety realized through leveraging a platform specially developed for this new model and a semi-bonnet design.

Manila, Philippines, February 18, 2019―Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announces today it has unveiled in the Philippines its first new Hiace model designed for overseas markets.

The new Hiace is built on a special revised platform that not only greatly enhances comfort and achieves advanced-level safety, but is extremely durable with excellent basic performance, making it suitable both for customers' daily lives and for business.

In emerging markets, where the automobile market has continued to expand throughout approximately the last decade, demand has risen for passenger transportation including tourist minibuses, private buses, and vehicles for use in logistics. The new Hiace has been developed to be able to flexibly respond to these diverse needs.

Following launch in the Philippines, the new model is to be gradually introduced in other countries and regions, with a focus on emerging markets. The current Hiace model will continue to be sold in Japan as-is, due to the different local market environment.

"The Hiace was developed using the key words of "Hiace Pride," and from the concept of being a faithful partner that makes people feel safe, satisfied, and proud. Owners, drivers, and passengers know they are in good hands when they own, drive, and ride in a Hiace," commented Chief Engineer Takuo Ishikawa, who was responsible for development.

Since the launch of the first-generation Hiace in 1967, it has become one of Toyota's representative global vehicles, with more than 6.24 million units sold in over 150 countries. The Hiace demonstrates prowess through its high durability and reliability, and has been used as a van, a minibus, and as private transportation. Currently, it is largely sold in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania, Mexico, and Latin America.

Ammesso che arrivi da noi, presumo che per guidarlo in configurazione a 17 posti ci voglia come minimo la patente C ?

In Svizzera i commerciali Toyota HIACE e i telai Dyna a cabina avanzata sono molto diffusi, così come alcuni telai Mazda mai importati né in Italia né in EU

Hai ragione, Hiace ho verificato ed è arrivato anche da noi, mentre i Toyota Dyna la serie Mazda E penso proprio non siano stati mai importati. Allego foto
