FactJapan's luxury version, the GranAce, went on sale in December 2019 and was dropped in October 2024 for poor sales.
The sixth-generation HiAce made its global debut on 18 February 2019 in the Philippines, with development led by chief engineer Takuo Ishikawa. It moved from the traditional cab-over layout to a front bonnet, and is a rear-wheel-drive van and minibus. Engines are a 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV turbodiesel four and a 3.5-litre 7GR-FKS V6 petrol, with a 2.7-litre petrol four in some versions. Luxury passenger versions are sold as the Granvia, GranAce and Majesty, and South Africa calls it the Quantum.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 2.7 2TR-FE trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Japan's luxury version, the GranAce, went on sale in December 2019 and was dropped in October 2024 for poor sales.
This HiAce topped Japan's most-stolen-vehicle list, outranking far pricier SUVs and sports cars, simply because it shipped without a theft immobilizer.
Toyota built an ambulance version of this HiAce, the HiMedic, and gave it a 4.0-liter V8 borrowed straight from the luxury Celsior sedan.
Toyota's Mobile Lounge show car at the 1987 Tokyo Motor Show was built on this generation's high-roof HiAce Commuter.
Most second-generation HiAces found a second career: after production ended they were exported from Europe and Japan to Africa and Asia as public transport.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
