What is it?

The H300 HiAce has been the volume leader in the Australian large-van segment since it launched in 2019. Two engines, four body styles (LWB Van, SLWB Van, Crew Van, 12-seat Commuter bus), all with Toyota Safety Sense and 5-star ANCAP.

The lineup runs from LWB Van Diesel at $48,886 plus on-roads, through to Commuter Bus at $73,890 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.

Interior and Technology

Segment volume leader since 2019, four body styles cover almost every commercial use case from sparky to shuttle, Toyota Safety Sense and 5-star ANCAP standard.

No hybrid or electric option. Infotainment hardware is a generation behind Toyota's passenger range, and the 2019 ANCAP date is starting to look old.

Quick Buyer Context

Should you buy the HiAce?

Reasons to buy

  • Segment volume leader since 2019, four body styles cover almost every commercial use case from sparky to shuttle, Toyota Safety Sense and 5-star ANCAP standard.
  • Warranty: 5 years, unlimited km.
  • 5-star ANCAP (2019), full driver-assist suite.
  • Braked towing rated at 1,800 kg.

Reasons to wait

  • No hybrid or electric option. Infotainment hardware is a generation behind Toyota's passenger range, and the 2019 ANCAP date is starting to look old.
  • You want a PHEV van (Ford Transit Custom), a passenger-feel cabin (Hyundai Staria), or a sharper buy-in (LDV Deliver 9).
  • Service intervals of 6 months or 10,000 km are tight for high-km operators. Factor that into running-cost maths.
  • Top trim climbs to $73,890 plus on-roads.
