Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) completed their Hiace lineup on August 19, 2019 with the launch of the all-new Toyota Hiace Super Grandia. “The Hiace Super Grandia is a preferred van of companies in various industries and is quite popular as a family vehicle. It has indeed become a symbol of comfort, convenience, and durability”, stated TMP President Satoru Suzuki. “We are excited to bring a higher level of luxury and a delightful ride experience that Filipinos truly deserve with the new Hiace Super Grandia. We expect this model to further elevate the Hiace passenger van which currently holds a 54.6% share in its segment year-to-date as of July.”
A series of developments on the design, performance, and safety features resulted in a strong and refined exterior yet an inviting and comfortable interior which embodies grand luxury and omotenashi (hospitality).The all-new Hiace Super Grandia, which is available in three new variants – Elite, Leather, and Fabric, promises a stress-free drive both for the driver and passenger and provides a ride experience and atmosphere that resembles first-class airline travel.
Precise chrome accents add elegance to the large front grille which merges with the defined bi-beam LED head lamps. The rear chrome garnish mirrors the front design and is also complemented by the distinctive shape of the LED rear combination lamps. The low center of gravity and wide stance is accentuated by the chrome lining that runs along the side to the bottom of the rear bumper.
The power sliding doors (available for the Elite variant) emanates an inviting entrance to the luxurious cabin. Upon entry, the interior illumination sets a relaxing mood which can be adjusted to the passenger’s preference. Illumination can be set to blue, amber, or white for the Elite variant. Passengers enjoy luxurious personal space with the captain seats that occupy the first and second row.
Quilted leather 4-way Power Adjust Captain Seats with Ottoman replace the first rear row for the Super Grandia Elite. For all variants of the Super Grandia, bench type space up seats at the farthest row can accommodate up to 4 more passengers. Rear personal reading lamps provide each passenger a greater sense of personal control and convenience, giving them the option of better visibility in their personal space. Automatic climate control ensures passenger comfort all throughout the drive, with Nano-E™ air purifying technology for the Elite variant.
The fuel-efficient 1GD-FTV 2.8 Diesel A/T engine powers the All New Super Grandia, with 2,755 cc displacement, 174 horsepower, intercooler system, and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation). The McPherson Strut suspension provides excellent handling and stability and a 4-Link Coil Spring rear suspension reduces cabin noise, vibration, and harshness, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride even on long drives.
The Hiace Super Grandia is equipped with advanced safety features, giving peace of mind and confidence for both the driver and passenger.
