Toyota HiAce generations & buyer's guide
7 Toyota HiAce listings for sale →The Toyota HiAce is a light commercial van produced since 1967 across six generations. It spans a broad range from standard-roof cargo vans to high-roof passenger conversion vehicles. The H100 (fourth generation, 1989–2004) was exported widely and is the most commonly imported generation; it used 2L and 2L-TE petrol, and 2C/3C/5L diesel engines. The H200 (fifth generation, 2004–2018) introduced a wider body and diesel-only powertrain (1KD-FTV and 2KD-FTV) for most markets. The HiAce is subject to different regulatory treatment than passenger cars in most jurisdictions — importers should verify local commercial vehicle regulations, as some countries apply different age or safety standards to light commercial vehicles separate from the standard 25-year passenger car exemption.
