OVERVIEW
The Toyota HiAce; it’s the quintessential “white van” and the backbone of countless courier companies and other commercial fleets.
What makes it so popular? And, given its advanced age (2015 is the H200-generation HiAce’s 11th year in the market), how has it managed to remian competitive against so many newer commercial vans out there?
Earlier this year Toyota added a new five-seat Crew Van variant to the HiAce range, along with new safety equipment and upgrades to the petrol engine. We put it through its paces to see how it fared as a workday hack.
