FactThe electric version of this van was showcased as a prototype at the 49th G7 summit in Hiroshima.
The current Toyota Pixis Van is a rebadged eleventh-generation Daihatsu Hijet Cargo (S700, four-wheel-drive S710), introduced on 20 December 2021 on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture. It is front mid-engined with rear- or all-wheel drive, using the 658 cc KF three-cylinder naturally aspirated or turbocharged, with a 5-speed manual or a CVT. A battery-electric version with a 30 kW rear motor went into production on 2 February 2026, alongside the e-Hijet Cargo. It is also sold as the Subaru Sambar Van.

Owning one

The Pixis Van and Pixis Truck of this era share little but an engine and a name: Daihatsu had split its van and truck lines completely.
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.
