The all new Toyota Hi-Ace for the Philippine Market?

[boybi]

looking at the specs of the new hi-ace, its over all length is shorter than the previa by around 200mm. the previa has only 3 rows that seat 7 passengers. hindi kaya sobrang sikip ng hi-ace with 5 rows seating 15 passengers?

[revoGSX]

The new Toyota Hiace is powered by a 2.5-liter direct injection four-stroke common rail diesel engine that can run a maximum output of 102 Ps per 3,600 rpm. Its maximum torque is pegged at 260 Nm per 1,600 to 2,400 rpm <--- er, di kaya underpowered eto lalo na for 15 people?

i think malaking improvement na ito.. yung dating hiace commuter is using the 2L 2.4 diesel (85ps and 161Nm) ..

15 seater ba ito? 3 x 5 rows = 15
pag siksikan.. pede 3 + 4x 4rows = 19 persons hehe

[boybi]

dun sa 4th and 5th rows lang pwede mag 4 persons, yung 2nd & 3rd row baka hindi kasya.

[bulldog]

masikip yan for 15 people.

[Raycee]

dito sa amin. . . kasya yan for 15 people commuting, yun iba nga 19 + kundoktor pa, hehehe. . . you know mindanao when it comes to van. . . pampasada lang yan dito

Sana nga maluwang para 'di siksikan ang mga pasahero.

At least mukhang matibay naman yung Hi Ace Commuter,ang laki ng doors at madali nang buksan(yes)malapad pero di siya kasing haba ng dating Commuter.I guess sulit naman ang binayad mo sa new Hi Ace kung ipapasada mo.Puwede ring tong gawing Ambulance.

mukhang isuzu-elf ung japan version.
mas gusto ko ung taiwan at uk.

[eggman]

Yung Taiwan at UK version ay medyo di maganda at outdated na yun.Yun nga dapat ang lalabas pero TMPC decided na yung IMV Hiace ang mas bagay sa pinas lalo na malapad at mas modern(kahit mukhang BOX!) at CRDi pa!Sana yung GL version ay 2.7 VVTi at automatic para mas masaya!

[badkuk]

i read somewhere na me front hood access sya...dunno how much you can access though, baka oil, clutch and brake fluid lang

The Japanese version looks like a Whirlpool ref with wheels.
