The Toyota Hiace is one car that everyone grew up with. There would always be one Hiace parked in the neighborhood and growing up; one definitely had a chance riding this very familiar car. It is one model that is always present to the ever-changing motor industry.
The van is definitely popular and perceived as a reliable, roomy and affordable car. It has established such a strong name that a lot of people forget that it has been tested and sold for a decade now. And it appears that the Hiace will have its overdue enhancements soon.
Sources from the Headlightmag was able to get their hands on Mag-X, a Japanese magazine and spy shots of the next-gen Toyota Hiace 2019/2020 were uncovered. Autoblog Argentina also has their own set of photos showing that an improved Hiace is surely a work in progress.
The Next-gen Toyota Hiace is truly a work in progress.
These photos show a well-camouflaged Hiace, but with keen eyes, it is very noticeable that a hood is actually incorporated into the new design. This is a big change for the traditional Hiace that is known for its cab-over design. This hood design has been Hiace's signature layout since the 60s.
One logical reason for the updates would most likely be due to safety regulations. Crash test results show that cab-over designs have small crumple zone areas during accidents. If the new Hiace has a hood incorporated in the design, then it will look likely like the Mercedes Benz V-Class, Hyundai Starex, and the Ford Transit.
Apart from the addition of the hood, the yet to be released Hiace pretty much retained the same slab-sided, boxy, and upright look with the dual sliding doors. The same structure ever since the year 2004.
Overall, the whole van including the rear windows looks to be wider than the current Hiace. The design can also be considered as a wide-body version similar to the Super Grandia. More details about this upcoming van can be found in our latest Toyota Hiace 2019 brief report.
