UMW Toyota Motor has opened its order books for the 2024 Toyota Hiace panel van, now updated with a new 3.0-litre common rail turbo diesel engine, replacing the previous model’s 2.4-litre unit.

The new Euro 4 emissions-standard engine delivers 136 PS at 3,400 rpm, and a healthy 300 Nm at 1,200 – 2,400 rpm, ensuring effortless cargo hauling capabilities.

As before, a 5-speed transmission is the sole gearbox available.

The panel van comes with an optional 7" touchscreen display audio system, with reverse camera and Bluetooth – not what you would normally expect on a commercial use panel van.

The locally assembled van will be priced from RM 123,000, a RM 10,000 increase from the previous 2.5L model.
