    “Toyota’s “”HILUX Overnight”” with an overall length of over 5.5 meters was born! The interior is a “”surprisingly compact”” luxury space! What is the charm of car travel?

    Campers in the “”Hilux!”” Enjoy traveling and getting around in a refurbished vehicle!
     Overnight stays in cars are all the rage these days, and among them is an outdoor service that utilizes the Toyota “”Hilux””.
     
     What exactly is this service? What kind of vehicle is the Hilux, which has been remodeled to truck camper specifications?

    A moving “”stylish hotel”” is born! See the actual vehicle of the awesome “”HILUX overnight stay specification””!

    Want to try something like this? Toyota’s “”HILUX Overnight Car”” makes adult travel a reality!

     Recently, outdoor activities such as camping and overnight stay in a car have become popular. In this context, an outdoor service utilizing Toyota’s “”Hilux”” is now being offered. What kind of service is this?

     The service is provided by TOAL CAMPER SERVICE (Eight Knot Co., Ltd.), based in Hokkaido.

     The company builds campers based on Hilux vehicles and rents them out to users to provide outdoor services.

     The service is not limited to vehicle rentals; a concierge plans accommodation, transportation routes, and experiences to suit each individual. The concierge will also guide you to special places and experiences that can only be enjoyed through this service.

     A representative from Eightknot explains the reason for the launch of this service as follows.

    There are many places in Hokkaido where you can experience a variety of things in the great outdoors that are not accessible by public transportation.

     You can stay overnight while moving around as you wish, and enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the spectacular scenery. What is usually taken for granted becomes a “”Trip Of A Lifetime”” in the midst of nature.

     We started offering this service so that many people can have such an experience.

     The company chose the Hilux as the base vehicle for the service.

    We chose the Hilux as the base vehicle because of its performance and maneuverability over the vast expanse of Hokkaido, its comfortable ride even with campers on board, and most importantly, its visual impact, which differentiates it from other campers.

     So, what are the specifications of the HILUX?

     The HILUX, originally a pickup truck, has a living space in the form of a trailer house in the cargo bed. Two models will be available: COZY CAMPER #01, with sleeping capacity for one to a maximum of five people (three adults and two children), and COZY CAMPER #02, with sleeping capacity for one to a maximum of three people.

     The body size will be 5750mm/5850mm in length, 2100mm in width, and 2810mm/2880mm in height, and the interior will be a woody space using natural wood and other materials, unified with calm colors such as gray and pistachio green.

     The cabin is furnished with a sofa, table, and sink, and while deep frying and cooking over charcoal are prohibited, simple cooking is allowed.

     The sub-battery can be used to supply power even when the engine is turned off, so lighting and heating can be used even when sleeping without worrying about idling.

     The vehicle can be driven with a standard driver’s license, and its width is the same as that of a normal Hilux, so people who drive cars on a daily basis do not need to worry too much about it.

     The person in charge of this project explains the key points of this vehicle’s production as follows: “”We created a truck camper in Hokkaido.

    We purchased the base vehicle in Hokkaido, and then took a ferry to pick up the camper that had been built in Honshu.

     At that time, the first trip in the camper was to drive on the highways in Honshu, and we realized how stable the driving experience was.

     The coloring gray was sampled several times by a paint shop, and the vehicle and camper were all painted in the original color.

     For the interior, we asked an acquaintance of ours, woodworker Yu Uchida, to customize the interior with a natural wood table and storage doors made of rattan.””

     The interior and exterior design was done with a unique attention to detail.

     Finally, regarding the future of the service, the person in charge says, “”We are planning to enhance our original plans, such as private plans just for our customers and partnerships with campgrounds, lodging facilities, and activity guides,”” and expectations are high for further upgrades.

    We are looking forward to the upgrade.

     The price per room (per unit) varies depending on the season, but ranges from 20,000 yen to 39,000 yen.”

    Completely renovated for the first time in 9 years! New “X-TRAIL” announced! From 3.19 million yen, “Cheap or expensive?” What is the reaction to the high-quality tough face design?

    “First All-New Model in 9 Years! New XTRAIL Announced! From 3,190,000 yen, “”Cheap or expensive? Or is it expensive? What is the reaction to the high quality, tough-looking design?

    Finally Announced! Nissan’s NewXTRAIL What’s the Concerned User Response?
     On July 20, 2022, Nissan announced the all-new EXTRAIL, which will go on sale on July 25.
     
     The new model is a further evolution of the previous XTRAIL, but what kind of feedback has it received from users?

    The new XTRAIL, the tough-looking SUV! See the powerful design of the actual vehicle.

    Tough and High Quality! What is the reaction to the new XTRAIL? (The image above is of the AUTECH model.)

     The XTRAIL has been loved by many users for many years since its first appearance in 2000 as a pioneer in the recent popularity of SUVs.

     Many users on SNS seem to have a very positive impression of the new XTRAIL, the fourth generation model, saying, “”The new XTRAIL is very good with a high class feel,”” “”I saw the new XTRAIL and it is much better than I expected, I want one,”” and “”This new XTRAIL is going to sell well. The new XTRAIL is a new model of the XTRAIL.

     Nissan describes the new XTRAIL as a full-fledged SUV that combines tradition and innovation, inheriting the “”tough gear”” concept from the first generation model and adding new “”quality”” features.

     Most grades are available in 2WD or 4WD, with some grades offering three-row seating.

     Some people on social networking sites have commented on the grades, saying, “”The new XTRAIL AUTECH is so cool,”” “”The new XTRAIL has NISMO! The EXTREME X has the traditional tough-gear feel of the first generation.

     There are also many comments on social networking sites about the powertrains, such as “”This new XTRAIL with e-POWER and e-4ORCE is so attractive,”” and “”The powertrain is so strong.

     The new XTRAIL’s powertrain is a combination of the second-generation “”e-POWER”” with a high-output motor, the “”VC Turbo”” variable compression ratio engine, which Nissan succeeded in mass-producing for the first time in the world, and the “”e-4ORCE”” drive system newly introduced in this model.

    The e-4ORCE is an electric drive four-wheel control technology that integrates Nissan’s electrification, 4WD control, and chassis control technologies, and is used in all 4WD grades.

     Maximum output is 106 kW for both 2WD and 4WD models, and maximum torque is 250 Nm.

     The exterior design combines the tough strength inherited from the first generation with the essence of a spacious, high-quality feel to create a new SUV that harmonizes these two elements.

     The headlamps are arranged in a two-tiered structure, with the position lamps and turn lamps in the upper section and the main lamps in the lower section, creating a sense of quality. The solid inner lenses have an intricate, shimmering finish inspired by traditional Japanese faceted patterns.

     On social networking sites, some users commented, “”The new XTRAIL is a little bigger than the previous model, and it’s very sturdy and cool,”” and “”The powerful feeling is a legacy of the old EXTRAIL,”” and others liked the design, which gives the impression that the vehicle can drive “”with ease, even on rough roads.

     On the other hand, many users also commented on the “”high quality”” of the new Extrail, saying that “”the new Extrail has a much higher quality feel and is cool”” and “”the new Extrail has a very high class feel.

     Some people also commented, “”Doesn’t the XTRAIL need to be high quality? Some people also say, “”Extrail doesn’t need to be high quality.

     It can be said that the evolved design of the XTRAIL, which has a long history, has divided the tastes of some users.

    * * * * * * * *

     The 2WD version is scheduled to go on sale in the fall of 2022, with prices ranging from 3,479,300 yen to 4,499,000 yen for the 4WD and 3,198,800 yen to 4,298,800 yen for the 2WD.

     On social networking sites, there are comments about the price, such as “”The new Extrail is really expensive,”” “”Starting at 3,190,000 yen, it’s the same as the price I paid for the previous generation model,”” and “”The first generation model I bought was 2 million yen, and this is double the price.

     On the other hand, there are also comments such as, “”The new Extrail is expensive, but the quality of the interior looks great for that price,”” and “”The new Extrail, considering the specifications including that special engine, is very price-competitive…”” It seems that there are both pros and cons to the price.”

    Possible to “stay in the car” with a new SUV! The long-established 4th generation can “sleep in the car!”

    “New SUVs can “”sleep in the car””! The long-established 4th generation can “”sleep”” in the car! Nissan’s new “”Extrail”” has a new sleeping area!

    Actually Tested! New EXTRAIL can “”sleep”” one adult!
     The fully redesigned Nissan EXTRAIL combines the second-generation e-POWER with the VC Turbo variable compression ratio engine and e-4ORCE electric drive four-wheel control technology to dramatically improve driving performance and fuel economy. The product’s product appeal has been greatly enhanced with a full lineup of advanced driving support functions and an improved design quality.

    “”Roomy cargo space! The new Nissan EXTRAIL, a well-established brand with excellent usability

     The new Extrail has an expanded interior space, but how well does it respond to the “”overnight stay in a car”” trend that is rapidly gaining attention?

    We immediately “”slept”” in the new Nissan EXTRAIL (2-row seat vehicle) just announced on July 20, 2022! [Model is an editorial staff member about 170 cm tall].

     The body size of the new Extrail is 4660 mm (length) x 1840 mm (width) x 1720 mm (height) with a wheelbase of 2705 mm.

     Compared to the previous (3rd generation) model, it has changed by -30 mm in overall length, +20 mm in overall width, and -20 mm in overall height, while the wheelbase is the same as the previous generation.

     Although there has been little change in overall size, the headroom in the rear seats has been expanded despite the lower overall height, thanks to a review of the seating position and seat thickness. Legroom has also been expanded.

     The rear seat slide has been increased by 20 mm, and the cargo space has been extended. The shape of the cargo space has been revised, and the opening has been widened. Combined with the remote-controlled auto back door with hands-free function, usability has also been improved.

     Now, how about the performance of the overnight stay in the car?

     We actually tested the new EXTRAIL in its 5-seat (2-row) version.

     The rear seats (second seats) are 4:2:4 split-foldable.

     However, it is not equipped with a dive-down mechanism for the seats when folded down or a double-folding mechanism that allows the seats to fold forward independently, and the backrests of the rear seats are not flat.

     When our editorial staff member, who is 170 cm tall, actually tried lying down in the new EXTRAIL, he found that the length from the rear edge of the floor to the rear seat backrest (cargo floor length) was not enough, so he could not lie straight.

     If the space between the rear seat legroom and the front seat is filled with luggage, etc., and then corrected with an outdoor air mat, etc., it may be possible to gain a little more cargo space floor length and make it easier to sleep, but in any case, large people are likely to sleep at an angle.

     The maximum rear seat width is 1239mm (Nissan’s internal measurement), which is enough space for a “”bed”” for one person.

    * * * *

     For those who stay overnight in their cars, another noteworthy feature of the new EXTRAIL is the new 100V (1500W) AC power supply in the cargo area.

     Although USB power sources and DC12V sockets have been available in the past and could be used to charge smartphones and other devices, the ability to utilize home appliances outdoors and in the car while traveling is a major change.”

    “It’s already home…” Surprised by the wood-like interior of Toyota “Hiace overnight stay specification” !

    “The wood interior of Toyota’s “”Hiace Overnight Car”” is a surprise! What is the one and only model in the world?

    Hiace”” Used for Outdoor Leisure and Various Other Purposes
     Recently, camping and other outdoor activities have become popular, and an increasing number of people are enjoying overnight stays in their cars.
     
     The Toyota Hiace is a model that is often used for overnight stays, but what is an overnight car with a wood interior like?

    This interior is…amazing! Wood interior design with high quality space! See the actual interior!

    The view outside is spectacular! Make your Hiace into an overnight stay vehicle! Create your own customization from scratch! (Images courtesy of Vanlife4season)

     The Toyota Hiace, introduced in 1967, is a van type that is often utilized as a commercial vehicle, with a design that can withstand over 1 million km of overdriving and ample cargo capacity.

     On August 6, 2018, a special edition “”Hiace 50th Anniversary Special Edition”” was also released, making it a popular model that has been developed, produced, and sold for over 50 years.

     While it boasts high demand as a commercial vehicle, it is also often used as a base vehicle for overnight camping. In fact, if you search for “”van life”” or “”overnight stay”” on social networking sites, you will find many people using the Hiace.

     One of the reasons why the Hiace is used for outdoor activities is its spacious interior.

     The Hiace lineup includes “”Long”” and “”Super Long”” body lengths, “”Standard”” and “”Wide”” body widths, and “”Standard Roof”” and “”High Roof”” roof shapes, for example, so that customers can select the body type that best suits their needs.

     To spend a comfortable overnight stay in a car, it is very important to have a spacious interior and to make effective use of the space. Many people enjoy overnight stays in cars alone, but the Hiace, with its spacious interior, is a great help when spending time with family, friends, or lovers.

     In this context, Vanlife4season (@vanlife4seson), an owner of a Hiace, has built an overnight vehicle based on a 2015 Super GL and has been traveling overnight in his car.

     While originally owning an SUV, Vanlife4season started fishing as a hobby and began arriving the day before to prepare for an early morning fishing trip. When he arrived the day before, he often stayed overnight in his car.

     Vanlife4season explains the situation at that time as follows: “”In the SUV, the floor was full.

    “”I had a problem with the SUV because it was not possible to fully flatten the floor, and my body often hurt when I woke up in the morning.

     So I did some research and found that the Hiace can carry a lot of luggage and is suitable for overnight stays, so I decided to buy it.

     Vanlife4season has been staying overnight in his car for seven years, and now spends about 60 days a year on trips of two to three days and one night alone.

     Vanlife4season’s Hiace enables him to stay in his car 60 days a year. What are some of the innovations and specialties of the interior environment?

    The bed kit was originally included when we purchased the Hiace, but we only had about half of our luggage (cooler box, fishing rods) under the bed kit, so we decided to remove the bed kit.

     Now I sleep on the floor with a sofa bed. I used to have a large desk that used to be a bed, but now I use it as a desk,”” said Vanlife4season.

     The spaciousness of the Hiace’s interior can be seen from the fact that even with the spacious desk and sofa bed in the car, the driver can relax comfortably.

     What also catches the eye in the interior space of Vanlife4season’s Hiace is its warm, wood interior. Vanlife4season describes the interior as follows.

    I saw a lot of videos of people doing wood interiors in their cars, and I thought, ‘That’s so stylish! and I had always wanted to do it myself someday, but this year I finally started the DIY project.

     I’ve been DIYing since February 2022, and it’s still in progress. I’m adding and removing things while staying in the car.””

     Not only the walls, but also the floor is covered with plywood and wood-grain leather seats, and he even made the center console by himself using wood.

     Vanlife4season commented on the overnight stay in his car, “”I think I was able to spend the night quite comfortably. I am currently storing dishes and seasonings in a basket, but I would like to add shelves in the future.

    * * * * * * * * * * *

     Vanlife4season also talks about the appeal of staying overnight in a car as follows: “”The fun part of staying overnight in a car is that you can enjoy the scenery.

    I think the joy of staying in a car is that you are not restricted by location. You can see spectacular scenery, and there are other pleasures that can only be experienced by staying in a car.

     I started posting on social networking services such as Instagram and Twitter to get as many people as possible interested in staying in a car.

     Although some places prohibit overnight stays in cars, the ability to enjoy the spectacular scenery that can only be experienced there is one of the major attractions of staying in a car. It might be a good idea to go on an overnight car trip in search of such enjoyment.”

    Not only “red”! The new color variation of the new SUV “X-Trail” is “elegant!”

    “Not Just Red! New color variations of the new XTRAIL SUV are “”Elegant! The standard red color also becomes more moist with the new color

    New Design Adds Quality to the Toughness Typical of the EXTRAIL
     On July 20, 2022, Nissan unveiled the all-new, fourth-generation EXTRAIL. All models are fully remodeled with e-POWER. It will also feature a number of advanced technologies, including advanced driving assist technology and the e-4ORCE electric drive four-wheel control system.
     
     The exterior design has been renewed with proportions that add quality to the “”tough”” character that has continued in successive generations. The body color lineup is also in line with this concept.
     
     This issue of Mazda News introduces the color variations of the new EXTRAIL, which is available in a total of 12 patterns.

    Image: “”The red color has gone deep! See all 12 color variations of the new Nissan Extrale in 23 photos.

    The new Nissan EXTRAIL, the fourth generation fully remodeled on July 20, 2022 [Body colors: (top) Shell Blonde and Super Black 2-tone / (bottom) Cardinal Red].

     The new Extrail has a lineup of 12 patterns, including five two-tone and seven monotone (single-color) colors.

     Of these, red is the most “”typical EXTRAIL color”” that has been used since the first generation model.

     The new model is available in Cardinal Red (Color Clear Pearl Metallic).

     It is not a mere red.

     Inspired by deep red roses, this new color was developed to be more vivid and deep, and is available only in monotone.

     Another theme color is the two-tone Shell Blonde (metallic) and Super Black.

     These colors were developed with the aim of creating a fine, elegant, champagne-like hue. There is no monotone setting for this color.

     Other two-tone colors are available in Brilliant White Pearl (3-coat pearl), Caspian Blue (metallic), Sunrise Orange (Multiflex Pearl Metallic), and Stealth Gray (pearl), all of which are combined with Super Black.

     In addition to the aforementioned Cardinal Red, the monotone color options include “”Diamond Black (pearl),”” “”Brilliant Silver (metallic),”” and “”Dark Metal Gray (metallic).

     In addition, there is also a choice of “”Brilliant White Pearl,”” “”Caspian Blue,”” and “”Stealth Gray,”” which are also available in two-tone settings.

    * * *

     All body colors of the new EXTRAIL will feature “”Scratch Shield.

     This is a unique coating technology that applies a clear coating with a soft resin to the body, which can recover over time from scratches and scuffs caused by car washing and daily use.

     The history of this technology dates back to “”Scratch Guard Coat,”” which was adopted for the first time in the world in 2005 for the body color of the first-generation EXTRAIL.

     It was initially available as a special edition “”SCRATCH GUARD COAT EDITION”” for the Super Black body color.

     The name was changed to Scratch Shield with the second-generation EXTRAIL, which was fully remodeled in 2007, and was used for the Burning Red, Sapphire Blue, and Diamond Black body colors.

     It finally became standard on all colors in the third generation (previous generation), which was introduced in 2013, and the technology has been inherited to this day.

     The EXTRAIL even takes into consideration the protection of body color under tough usage conditions. This attention to detail is one of the reasons why the EXTRAIL has been loved by outdoor users for so long.”
