The commercial sector has been boosted by the introduction of the all-new Toyota Hiace Super Long Wheelbase (SLWB). This model increases size significantly, offering enhanced space for passengers and cargo, making it ideal for long journeys. It features a width of 1,950mm, a height of 2,280mm, and a wheelbase stretched to 3,860mm. The Toyota Hiace SLWB is powered by a 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV turbo-diesel engine, which delivers 177 PS at 3,400 rpm and 450 Nm of torque between 1,600 to 2,400 rpm.
