Discover the 2024 Toyota HiAce facelift with a digital dashboard, 360° camera, Apple CarPlay and more. Learn how the classic van is upgraded today.
Key Interior Upgrades
The facelift introduces a fully digital instrument cluster, replacing the classic analog gauges with a crisp LCD speedometer. An 8‑inch central touchscreen now supports Apple CarPlay, giving drivers seamless access to navigation, music and messaging.
Safety and convenience get a boost from a 360° surround‑view camera system, helping manoeuvre the van in tight city lanes or crowded loading bays.
- Digital speedometer and multifunction display
- 8‑inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay
- 360° camera for all‑around visibility
- New climate‑control knobs and heated front seats
- USB‑C charging port and updated steering wheel
Exterior & Lighting Refresh
The front and rear bumpers have been reshaped for a sharper look, while the LED lighting signatures have been refined for better night‑time presence. The redesigned headlamp housing adds a contemporary edge without altering the van’s overall silhouette.
Powertrain Consistency
Under the updated skin, Toyota keeps the proven chassis and drivetrain that have made the HiAce a workhorse for more than two decades. Japanese‑spec models continue to offer a choice of gasoline or diesel engines, paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, focused on durability and low operating costs.
Why the Facelift Matters
Even after 22 years, the HiAce remains a staple in Japan’s small‑van segment, where businesses value practicality and reliability. By adding modern tech such as a digital dash and 360° camera, Toyota narrows the gap between passenger‑car comfort and commercial‑van utility, a trend that’s spreading globally.
In markets like Vietnam, the HiAce was withdrawn in 2022 after a short run, but the new upgrades could reignite interest wherever compact cargo vans are needed.
