Overview

The Toyota Hiace Mk6 is a commercial van for operators that need diesel automatic running and 10 seats in one factory package. In Malaysia, the current range starts at RM169,000, with the SLWB the only variant. It suits shuttle, company transport and fleet use more than private family use.

Hiace in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the Hiace carries on unchanged in Malaysia. The current Mk6 line-up is the SLWB introduced for 2024, powered by a 2.8-litre turbodiesel with 177 PS and 450 Nm paired to a six-speed automatic. Toyota has shown a Hiace Concept previewing the next generation with a pillarless side and full-width display, but that is separate from the Malaysian SLWB on sale.

Verdict

The Hiace is straightforward: diesel, automatic and 10 seats, with Toyota’s commercial-van base doing the heavy lifting. The sixth-generation Hiace platform is also the basis for the GranAce luxury MPV, while the defence ministry has taken 50 sixth-gen units for ambulance duty. The catch is price. At RM169k, it costs much more than the Nissan NV200 and Maxus V80 rivals named in this class.
