Toyota’s Next Model Hiace is Predicted
The Next Model of Toyota’s Hiace? Is the next model of the “”300 series”” the face of the “”Prius””? The CG of the bold prediction is surprisingly cool!
Toyota’s Next Model “”Hiace”” is Predicted
Toyota’s 1-box commercial van “”Hiace”” (Hiace Van) is the best-selling car in its genre, maintaining its popularity over the years.
This is already a “”Prius Van””! View 57 images of the next-generation rendering of the Toyota Hiace.
Digimods DESIGN has created a rendering (image CG) of the next model of the Hiace (300 series), which is exclusive to overseas markets, and released it on their YouTube channel.

The Hiace is a 1-box van that can be used for all kinds of commercial purposes. Perhaps because of its design and convenience, it is a long-selling model that enjoys tremendous support not only from commercial users but also from ordinary private users who enjoy outdoor leisure activities and overnight stays in their cars.
The 200 Series Hiace is the fifth generation of this model to be sold in Japan. More than 18 years have already passed since its debut, and the next model is expected to appear, but in fact, a successor model already exists outside of Japan.
That successor model is the 6th generation 300 series Hiace, which was announced in the Philippines in February 2019. In Japan, the “”Gran Ace,”” a large wagon based on the 300-series Hiace, is in the lineup, but the new 300-series Hiace itself is not sold, perhaps because it is too large for the domestic market, and as of January 2023, the 200-series Hiace continues to be sold as is.
Digimods DESIGN has created and published a rendering of the next 300-series Hiace that will be sold outside of Japan.
In the rendering, the form of the 300 Series Hiace is retained, but the front face is changed to something similar to the new “”Prius”” model.
In the rear, the vehicle is equipped with a fairly large vertical rear light, and the overall design is angular and tough.

Digimods DESIGN has created renderings of upcoming Toyota, Honda, and Nissan cars and posted them on their social networking sites.
The renderings produced by Digimods DESIGN are, of course, unrealistic, but since cars of the same manufacturer are developed with some common design language, we cannot deny the possibility that they will appear with a design similar to the rendering.
Toyota’s top-of-the-line Harrier PHEV is an amazing ride!
Electricity makes it more attractive! Toyota’s top-of-the-line Harrier PHEV is an amazing ride! What is the evolution in the 25th year?
Harrier’s flagship “”PHEV”” is now available
The fourth generation Toyota Harrier, which was launched in June 2020, is a model that makes full use of the “”TNGA”” weapon to clarify and clarify the “”urban SUV”” concept that has been established by previous models.
It has received high acclaim for its sleek coupe exterior, tailored interior that rivals Lexus’, and unique ride quality, and continues to enjoy high popularity today.
In October 2022, the Harrier underwent its first improvement. The main improvements include driver assistance functions and interior convenience improvements, but the biggest news is the addition of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
The mesh grille is so cool! The top-of-the-line “”Harrier PHEV”” is too cool!
New “”PHEV”” model newly added to Toyota’s Harrier lineup
The reason why the PHEV is only available in the top grade “”Z”” is because of the following reasons. This is the reason why the PHEV is only available in the top grade “”Z””.
The exterior of the Harrier PHEV features an exclusively designed front grille (honeycomb shape), front lower bumper, aluminum wheels (black and machined), and exclusive decorations (black paint/dark chrome/body color). Incidentally, the Hikarimono is more restrained than the gasoline/hybrid models, but I have the impression that this is a feature that enhances the “”good-quality”” feel of the vehicle.
The interior is exclusively coordinated with a black base color, with dark red decorations (instrument panel and door trim) and perforations (seats). It may seem a bit tacky, but this is understandable, as the interior is designed to “”create a sense of prestige and sportiness”” (Mr. Yamazaki).
Incidentally, the full LCD meters, large screen display, and air conditioner panel have also been changed in the new model, and I felt that these also contributed greatly to the improved quality of the interior.
The full LCD meters can be selected from four different tastes and three different layouts, just like the Crown, but the “”tough”” design does not match the interior of the Harrier, so I felt that it would have been better to have a different design.
Also, the air conditioner controls are now able to display the temperature in the panel, which improves visibility.
More Attractive with the Power of Electricity! The top-of-the-line Toyota “”Harrier PHEV”” is an amazing ride! What is the evolution in the 25th year?
Top comfort level among current Toyota vehicles
How does the Harrier PHEV drive? The powertrain is based on the Hybrid E-Four, with a higher output front motor (from 88kW to 134kW), a larger capacity battery (from nickel metal hydride to lithium-ion: 18.1kWh), and changes to the PCU and DC/DC converter to generate 306ps system output.
These systems are basically the same as those of the “”RAV4 PHV,”” but when actually driven, the vehicle felt more powerful and smoother. The reason for this is the “”quietness”” of the system, which gives the impression that the engine is operating farther away from the vehicle in EV mode as well as in hybrid mode.
When I conveyed this impression to Mr. Yamazaki, he told me that “”the use of acoustic glass, in which a highly sound-insulating film is inserted between the glass and glass, is effective.
Toyota “”Harrier PHEV
Incidentally, the tires have been changed to all-season tires (Bridgestone ECOPIA), but the road noise is also suppressed to the extent that one might have thought that the premium comfort tires “”Regno”” were being used. Incidentally, the EV driving range is 93 km (WLTC mode), so if you have a charger at home, you can use it almost exclusively as an EV.
How about the footwork? The platform is formally “”GA-K,”” but in order to cope with the 200 kg increase in weight over the hybrid version, it is based on the one for the “”Highlander,”” a 3-row seat SUV sold exclusively in North America, and the suspension setup and EPS control have also been optimized specifically for PHEVs.
The impression is that the Harrier’s “”massive”” and “”shittier”” ride quality is more pronounced. To be more specific, the steer system and footwork are milder than those of the Hybrid.
However, what I don’t want you to misunderstand is that it has not become duller, but rather the time axis of behavior change has become slower while maintaining the same precision in response to operation. It would be a lie to say that the hybrid plus 200 kg does not feel heavy when cornering, but the roll is also suppressed due to the lowered center of gravity and improved front-rear balance resulting from the conversion to a PHEV.
What surprised me even more than the handling was the ride comfort, to the extent that I could have mistaken it for having electronic control dampers. Not only does it softly cancel the gap, but it also converges the shocks not with a “”snap”” but with a “”whirr””, resulting in a more relaxed movement on the springs, which puts it at the top level of comfort among the current Toyota lineup. The ride quality is so gentle that it could be described as a descendant of the “”Royal”” series of previous generation Crowns, if I may say so.
When I conveyed this impression to Mr. Tomoyuki Katayama of the skilled technical training department, who was in charge of evaluating the driving experience, he told me, “”Our goal was the same for both the HEV and PHEV, but we were able to achieve an even higher quality driving experience and an even higher quality ride by optimizing various aspects of the suspension using the advantages of a lower center of gravity. I think we were able to achieve even higher driving quality and even higher ride comfort,”” he told us.
* * * * * * * * * *
The Harrier PHEV not only contributes to Toyota’s carbon-neutral/electrification strategy, but also adds “”driving quality”” to the model. In other words, it is a model that accelerates the appeal of Harrier with the power of electricity. And we felt that its multiple performance characteristics are suitable for the flagship of the Harrier series.
Priced at 6,200,000 yen, it is 1,160,000 yen higher than the Hybrid E-Four, but if you take advantage of the Clean Energy Vehicle (CEV) subsidy program, you will receive 550,000 yen, so the gap is quickly closing.
However, the long delivery time issue has not been cleared up, and the situation is that “”even if you want to buy it, you cannot. However, we have heard talk of a system to increase production of models for the domestic market from December 2022 to March 2023, so we recommend that those who are interested make a decision as soon as possible.

Nissan Note series will be the best-selling electric car in 2022
The best-selling electric car in Japan! Many people responded to the “”e-POWER good””! Why is Nissan’s “”Note”” doing so well?
What a surprise, Nissan’s Note series will be the best-selling electric car in 2022!
The Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JAL) has announced the ranking of passenger car brands by common name for 2022, with seven Toyotas, two Hondas, and one Nissan in the TOP 10.The “”Note”” is Nissan’s only car in the TOP 10, but it is ranked No. 1 in terms of electric vehicle sales. What is the background behind the popularity of the Note?
It’s the No. 1 electric car, but… the new “”GT-R”” is also badass! See the actual car in its world premiere! The best-selling electric car in 2022? Why Nissan’s “”Note Series”” Is Doing So Well!On January 11, 2023, the Japan Auto Manufacturers Association (JAMA) released its annual ranking of sales by vehicle name for the year 2022.The ranking is based on the combined sales of the Yaris, Yaris Cross, and GR Yaris,
Recently, due to factors such as the shortage of semiconductors, production system problems caused by the Corona disaster, and the situation in Russia and Ukraine, all automakers have not been able to produce as much as expected, and as a result, sales (registration) of vehicles have been delayed.
In this situation, the Note is the only Nissan model in the aforementioned Top 10 list.The current Note is the third-generation model announced on November 24, 2020, and is equipped with a newly designed platform and the second-generation “e-POWER”” for the first time, with a significantly redesigned and more powerful system.It also features a full range of advanced safety technologies, including “”ProPilot”” driving assist technology with NaviLink functionality and all-round “”360° Safety Support””.
On June 15, 2021, a derivative version of the premium compact car, the Note Aura, will be added.This is a model that focuses on quality in every detail of the interior and exterior, and offers improved power and torque compared to the standard version of the Note.In addition, the car is equipped with a BOSE Personal Plus Sound System, a premium audio system, to provide a high quality interior space. The “”BOSE Personal Plus Sound System,”” a premium audio system, was adopted to realize a high-quality cabin space.
On August 17 of the same year, the “”Note Aura NISMO”” was added to the lineup, based on the “”Aura”” and inspired by Formula E, with the concept of a “”fast-footed electric city racer.It features a new generation of NISMO-like design, exuberant handling, and agile response and extended acceleration.In addition, the AUTECH brand, which handles Nissan’s custom cars, has offered a wide range of models in the Note series, including the AUTECH version from the beginning and the AUTECH CROSSOVER version on October 7 of the same year.
The Note series boasts such a wide lineup, and on social networking sites, people have commented, “”It’s interesting that thanks to regenerative braking, I can drive down mountain roads with just the gas pedal. If you mainly drive in town, this may be the best solution,”” “”e-POWER is easier to drive and more comfortable than I expected,”” “”e-POWER 4WD is very good,”” and so on.Dealers in the Tokyo metropolitan area also commented as follows: “”The Note has been a success since the previous generation model, and I am very happy with the e-POWER.
The third generation of the Note has evolved with e-POWER, and people who have driven it have commented that it feels like an electric car.In addition, the e-POWER has a wider rear seat and cargo space than competing models, and its extensive product lineup has the advantage of appealing to a wide range of customers.On the other hand, some customers find it difficult to understand the differences between the different lineups, so we try to explain them in detail.Some customers say, ‘I don’t know which one to choose,’ or ‘It’s hard to tell the difference,’ so we try to provide detailed explanations in these cases.
Another dealer in the Tohoku region says, “”Some customers say that the e-POWER 4WD makes them feel comfortable when driving on snow-covered roads. We are also receiving comments from dealers in the Tohoku region.The e-POWER 4WD of the Note is said to provide powerful, stable, and comfortable driving on dry, wet, icy, and deep snow roads by driving and controlling all four wheels with a powerful motor in all speed ranges.
On January 17, 2023, Nissan announced “”No.1 electric vehicle sales in Japan for the calendar year 2022,”” explaining the reasons as follows.The advanced compact car “”Note”” and the premium compact car “”Note Aura”” have been well received by many customers for their second-generation e-POWER, which features a significantly renewed and more powerful system, smooth and powerful acceleration, smooth deceleration control, and excellent quietness.
The “”Note”” and “”Note Aura,”” both of which are all-electric vehicles, are the result of a wide lineup that includes the “”AUTECH CROSSOVER”” and “”Note Aura NISMO,”” and the value and appeal of the vehicles, from functionality to design, which have been highly evaluated by many customers, leading to this achievement of No. 1 in electric vehicle sales. This is the reason why we have achieved the No. 1 position in electric vehicle sales.

Unveiling the Toyota Alphard Truck: 5 Spectacular Moments that Left the Crowd Amazed
The world premiere of the Toyota “”Alphard Truck”” with an amazing presence! The huge 6.6m long x 2.4m wide truck is getting a lot of feedback! What are your impressions of the finished product?All who see it will be amazed…Toyota’s “”Alphard Truck”” World Premiere!Tokyo Auto Salon 2023 was held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture on January 13, 2023.
There, the “”Alphard Truck”” based on the Toyota “”Alphard”” was unveiled.6.6m long and 2.4m wide “”Alphard Truck”” unveiled for the first time! See the real vehicle with a badass presence! This is amazing! Finally, a world premiere! Alphard Super Dury””, an Alphard Truck created by NATS students The Tokyo Auto Salon is a place where a variety of custom cars and tuning cars are exhibited, and the custom cars created by the students of the customization course at the Nihon Automobile College (commonly known as NATS) in Chiba Prefecture are always a hot topic of conversation.
Among the exhibits by automakers and customizers, NATS created a Super Dury Truck based on the Alphard.The term “”duty truck”” refers to a four-wheeled pickup truck with two wheels on each side of the rear wheels, a customization that can be seen in North America.The concept was named “”Alphard Super Dury,”” and the student who was in charge of the project said, “”What if an American builder customized a Japanese family car? The student who was in charge of the concept said, “”What would happen if an American builder customized a Japanese family car?
The blue body color of the Alphard can be seen from the front, but from the side and rear, the Alphard has been converted into a truck.The cargo bed is made by combining panels from Toyota’s “”Hilux”” pickup trucks, and while the conventional sliding rear doors are used, this Alphard truck has been customized to open like a Mazda “”RX-8″” or “”MX-30″”.The body size is 6.6m in length and 2.4m in width, which is equivalent to a full-size pickup truck in North America and other countries.
The students explained the process of creating the Alphard Truck as follows.The idea to build a duty truck came from a group of members who were interested in truckin’ (sporty truck customization) and American cars.When choosing a base vehicle, we decided on the Toyota Alphard because we wanted to draw attention to the unexpectedness of using a familiar Japanese vehicle as a base.I am certain that this will be a one-of-a-kind custom car.
The following is a description of the difficulties encountered in the process of customizing the car.First of all, we had a hard time finding the right combination of strength and weight (in order to obtain official certification) by extending the body of the car, so we had to make sure the car was sturdy.Also, the customization of the sliding doors to be double-sliding was more difficult than we had imagined, and we had to work hard to make the doors fit well when closed.
The cargo bed was completed with the help of the Chiba Toyota Group, which sponsored the production of panels for the current Hilux, as well as various parts makers.
Regarding the degree of completion and the response from visitors, he said, “”I think it turned out exactly as I had initially imagined in my sketches. Also, people who had seen it on YouTube or the news came to see it and told us that it was completed and that it was very impressive,”” said a student.In addition, many visitors to the NATS booth were overwhelmed by the power of the Alphard truck.The Alphard Truck won the Excellence Award in the “”Tokyo International Custom Car Contest Minivan/Wagon Category”” held at Tokyo Auto Salon 2023.
Unbeatable Acceleration Toyota Prius New PHEV Hits 0-100 km/h in Just 6.7 Seconds
Acceleration as furious as a sports car! New rechargeable Toyota Prius PHEV to go on sale around March 2023! What model will it be? The new Prius PHEV has amazing acceleration! The new Toyota Prius was unveiled for the first time in the world in November 2022, and the hybrid version was launched on January 10, 2023.
Furthermore, as for the new “”Prius PHEV”” equipped with a plug-in hybrid system, it has been revealed that it will be released around March of the same year.Just like a sports car! New “”Prius”” rejuvenated at a stroke, and its high-quality interior is astonishing! Toyota’s new “”Prius PHEV”” to be released around March 2023
The new Prius is based on the concept of “”Hybrid Reborn”” and aims to be an emotional car with “”design that makes you fall in love at first sight”” and “”driving that captivates you”” in addition to high environmental performance, which is its conventional strength.
While retaining the iconic “”monoform silhouette”” of the Prius, the second-generation TNGA platform has been renewed with a low center of gravity and stylish proportions, and large 19-inch tires have been adopted to express “”emotion that resonates with the senses”” and “”universal beauty.In addition, the “”Island Architecture”” concept provides a spacious and comfortable cockpit that allows the driver to concentrate on driving without feeling oppressed. The interior space is intuitive to operate and enjoyable to drive.
As for powertrains, in addition to the 1.8-liter and 2-liter hybrids, Toyota offers for the first time a 2-liter plug-in hybrid (PHEV) that achieves significantly higher acceleration performance and quieter operation than the conventional model. The PHEV, in particular, combines a highly efficient Dynamic Force engine with a high-output lithium-ion battery for drive, achieving maximum system output of 223 hp (164 kW) and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.7 seconds, while maintaining the same low fuel consumption as the previous model. This is close to the 0-100km/h acceleration of Toyota’s GR86 FR sports car (6.3 seconds).
Furthermore, the EV driving range has been improved by more than 50% compared to the previous model. The battery performance has been improved so that the car can cover most of its daily needs with EV driving alone. In addition, when the power switch is turned on during charging, a “”mild room mode”” is set to enable use of the air conditioner and audio system using power from an external power source, allowing the driver to spend a comfortable time in the car as if it were another room.
In addition, the battery pack, which was mounted in the space of the previous model, is now mounted under the rear rear seat, resulting in a lower center of gravity and increased cargo space, making the PHEV both sportier and more convenient to drive.
The PHEV is also equipped with a second-generation “”solar charging system”” that more efficiently converts sunlight into electricity, generating the equivalent of approximately 1,250 km of driving range in one year. When the car is parked, the generated power is charged to the drive battery, which supplies power not only for driving but also for various functions such as air conditioning. While driving, the power generated can be used to supplement the consumption of the auxiliary battery system.
It has been revealed that the price of the new Prius with hybrid specification will range from 2.75 million yen to 3.92 million yen, but the price of the PHEV specification has not been announced and is expected to be announced at the time of its launch around March 2023.
