UMW Toyota Motor has launched the new generation 2024 Toyota Hiace in Malaysia.

As a brief recap, Farizon is a sub-brand under Geely's massive umbrella of brands, responsible for EV commercial vehicles. But unlike the petrol- or diesel-burning Hiace, the Farizon E6 ditches those in favour of a single rear-mounted electric motor that does 136 PS. Geely offers the Farizon E6 with two battery capacities, 50.25 kWh

The fifth-gen Toyota Hiace (H200) in Malaysia has been largely unchanged ever since it was introduced here in 2006 though overseas, there is the sixth-gen H300 which made its launch in 2019. While some Malaysian tradesmen are wondering when will the larger H300 would be launched here, we aren’t the only market to still offer the H200.
