2011 Toyota Hiace facelift

[IMm29]

Slightly better, but still not the 3.0L output one would be looking for.

Sana hindi nalang nila binago yung engine kung ganyan lang din.

Kasi mas lalakas lang yan sa krudo

[JAA]

Euro IV compliant na kasi yung 3.0L at mas refined due to the twin balancer shaft. Pero, mas malakas pa rin sa krudo especially sa traffic.

I observed that the max torque runs between 1,200-1,600 rpm. Parang truck engine ang performance nito, more on hauling heavy loads. Tuned to unleash its maximum output at a low 3,000 rpm. Malamang high speed ang differential nito to compensate with the engine's low speed performance.

O nga eh. Considering minimal lang yung gains on performance. Sabagay, the 2.5L wasn't a slug, and was pretty well-matched to the Grandia, so this should feel slightly better.

Ah ok. Better refinement. Hopefully evident yan sa nakasakay/driver, consider nasa loob yung engine, unlike vans na nasa separate compartment sa harap.

Toyota's pretty good matching their low-spec'd diesel engines with low to mid end grunt such that they seem to be performing faster than expected.

I was expecting 140-165HP..

Same same here. Unfortunately, Toyota had other plans.

[Starex_Gold]

Mag intay tayo ng owner dito nung bago para malaman natin kung ano yung pagbabago na mararamdaman sa engine.

Pero sa tingin ko wala naman

[IMm29]

Tingin ko rin parehas lang halos. IMO, di naman bitin yung 2.5L nung Super Grandia nung naitakbo ko sa SLEX dati. It's no 2.5L Starex GRX CRDi, but it felt faster than it is on paper.

[Djerms]

Its good that they put in additional mirrors. Its so difficult parking without those. We had a not so good experience with this vehicle. Always stalls (maybe the d4d problem???)

Kahit anong facelift pa gawin sa mga van na refrigerator type ayoko padin nakakatakot mag drive ng car na walang hood, i might as well get a starex if I'm looking for a van
