2025 Toyota HiAce: Built for Business, Designed for Comfort

The Toyota HiAce has been around for a long time, but it recently made a return to after being absent for about 20 years. You won’t find this large van at a car dealer here in the states, but it’s making a big splash in Asia, Australia, and Latin America.

What is the HiAce?

So, what exactly is the HiAce? It’s a commercial van that first arrived in 1967 with a variety of body configurations available. You can find the HiAce as a panel van, minivan, and as a crew van.

The return of the HiAce felt a little nostalgic for many drivers who remember it from the 80’s and 90’s. But the new generation is modern and efficient. All commercial models have a 2.8-liter turbodiesel under the hood and come with rear –wheel drive.

How Big Is the HiAce?

Let’s face it: if you’re looking for a van, you need something reliable, and if you need a van, you need space. So how does the HiAce stack up? Well, it’s got plenty of space in the back whether you have it outfitted for people or cargo. The cargo bay can be easily accessed from either side using the sliding doors, or from the back through the optional barn doors.

Tech for Work and Play

When you climb into the HiAce, you’ll be greeted with a driving area that is better than you might expect from a basic cargo van. The cloth-covered seats are comfortable, and there’s plenty of space for you and your passenger.

The climate control uses buttons and dials and there are also some physical controls for the infotainment system. But don’t worry, there’s also a touchscreen for infotainment for those younger drivers who are used to having a screen for everything and another screen or vehicle information. It comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with a USB port Bluetooth, and satellite navigation.

If this is the van you are looking for at a car dealer to serve as your work vehicle, the Toyota Connect Services will come in handy. You can pair the van with the myToyota Connect app and get automatic collision notifications, stolen vehicle tracking, and SOS Emergency Calls.

A Safe Place to Drive Your Business

The Toyota HiAce has a five-star safety rating, according to the Australian New Car Assessment Program. It comes with Toyota’s Safety Sense bundle of driver aids to help drivers stay safe. This means that you get a lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and a blind-spot monitoring system.

If you miss a road sign, the road sign recognition system will display it on the driver information display. This can be very helpful when you’re driving on unfamiliar roads, and you’re not sure where to look.

Is it time to upgrade your work van? The Toyota HiAce may be your answer, and the latest model year is available at your local Toyota car dealer.
