UMW should consider bringing the 4 speed Auto Diesel.There are a lot of auto Hiace in singapore.With the kind of traffic jam at the moment in our countries,an auto gearbox surely help to make the driver life easier.

why is local Malaysian Hi ace is smaller than other countries- the nearest our neighbour Thailand & Spore.

They have much bigger looks Hi Ace Commuter.

Toyota Malaysia have no plan to import or locally assemble it here? instead having this smaller version??

Is there any local automotive importers importing this model?

I bet lots of travel agencies wanna buy them.

Hilux in Thailand has an intercooler as well making approximately additional 20% more power for the 2.5L turbodiesel. Fortuner is an over-priced SUV. Its looks nice but not much improvement against a 1997 Prado. The engine claims to be 2.7L VVT-i but not much power and torque difference compared to the standard 2.7L in the 1997 Prado.

160hp only from a 2.7 litre engine? It also goes to show how much money toyota is making from the fortuner.

the 2.7 vvti is the same unit in the toyota fortuner. makes me wonder how whether the fortuner has a van engine, or the hiace has an SUV engine

Well.. I like this Hiace's design actually… the previous model really outdated already… its been produced quite a long time already… only some minor facelift… but this model's price quite high I think… N I think the petrol model isn't going to sell well here… as Hiace are more common in Businesses n they'll prefer diesel for fuel efficiency… Anyway.. Toyota's assembling here in M'sia can help in economy…
