The Toyota Hiace is a popular one-box van that is not only used for commercial purposes but also for personal use such as outdoor activities and car camping. It comes in both gasoline and diesel options, and the gasoline version is cheaper in terms of vehicle price. The Super GL grade, which is a higher-end option for personal use, has a price difference of about 60,000 yen between the gasoline and diesel versions. Additionally, the gasoline version is quieter than the diesel version. The current 7th generation diesel version has a clean diesel engine.
If you’re thinking of buying a Toyota Hiace, you might be wondering whether to choose gasoline or diesel. Gasoline cars have the advantage of a lower vehicle price and quieter noise, but the disadvantage of higher fuel costs. On the other hand, diesel cars have the advantage of lower fuel costs and greater torque, but the disadvantage of higher vehicle prices and louder noise. Additionally, diesel cars require AdBlue refills to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, which gasoline cars do not. The Hiace diesel model has a higher total weight but better acceleration performance, making it more suitable for commercial use or when carrying heavy loads. If you want a 4WD Hiace Super GL grade with a standard body, you can only choose the diesel model. The Hiace’s AdBlue tank has a capacity of 10.4L and must be refilled every 1000km.
