The Toyota Hiace is since 1967 produced by Toyota pickup truck . While the first two models were also available as a flatbed truck , since then only the Toyota Dyna has been offered for this purpose, which was also offered as a Hiace truck for the transition in Japan . The Toyota Commuter was also developed by the Hiace , a minibus which is also offered as the Toyota Ses'fikile in South Africa . Thanks to its simple and robust technology, the Hiace is also popular in emerging and developing countries. It is also made in China by a large number of manufacturers, but many of them are plagiarism. From 1996, the range of Hiace in Europe and the rest of the world differed . While the Hiace H100 was offered everywhere until 2004, the Hiace XH10 based on the Toyota Granvia replaced the H100 in Europe . Between 1999 and 2005, the Hiace XH10 was also offered in Asia as the Toyota Grand Hiace . The Hiace H200 has been around since 2004, but the Hiace XH10 was still on offer in Europe until partially in 2012, and was replaced by the Toyota Proace in 2013 .

Production period:	1967-1977
Designs:	Minibus , box truck , flatbed truck
Engines:	Petrol engines : 1.3–2.0 liters

In February 1967 the first Hiace truck appeared as a pickup / truck as a smaller version of the Toyota Dyna (Toyoace in Japan). The engine is a 1.3-liter gasoline engine like the Toyota Corona , but throttled from 70 hp (51 kW) to 41 kW. This gives it a higher torque at low speeds. The minibus with 9 seats followed in October 1967, as did the panel van version, each with a side flap door and rear tailgate. The Toyota 2R 1.5 L petrol engine, which, like the Corona, develops 77 hp (57 kW), takes over the drive in the minibus. A panel van with six seats is also available from April 1968. Parallel to the other versions, it has a three-seater bench at the front and rear. With a longer wheelbase and rear overhang, a 15-seater minibus and a 12-seater minibus will be available from February 1969 . An ambulance is also offered on this basis . These versions get a Toyota 5R 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 98 hp (72 kW). In 1970 the safety equipment is improved. In February 1971 there were minor changes in the design of the radiator grille and parallel to the Corona, the 12R 1.6-liter petrol engine replaced the 1.5-liter and is now also available for the panel van and truck. The 1.3-liter engine is now also available in minibuses. In October 1972 the side flap door was replaced by a sliding door. From October 1975 the 16R 1.8 L petrol engine with 95 hp (70 kW) was also available. In addition to Asia and Oceania , the first generation of the Hiace is also offered for export in North America .

There is also a first facelift with a plastic grille. After the main competitor Nissan Urvan had already received a diesel engine in 1978 , Toyota followed suit in July 1979 with the 2200 cc diesel engine.
