Since the HiAce uses all available space to fit the ten passengers, it doesn’t have the luxury to brag about luggage space. The seats aren’t removable and only the third row is foldable on the Super Grandia to form a table, suitable for poker or mah-jongg. The second and third rows can be folded in the lower variants. The fourth row can slide forward to increase luggage space, at the expense of already-limited leg room. At the end of the day, the Toyota HiAce Super Grandia 3.0 DSL is still a good performer, especially for those who require 10 seats without compromise. However, there’s nothing to change the fact that this car is at least a decade behind when it comes to driving dynamics and design. If you like to drive cars yourself, the HiAce is definitely not for you. You'd be better off looking at smaller and more modern vans such as the Kia Carnival Sedona, Hyundai Starex or the Chevrolet Venture. If you don’t drive yourself or would want to use this to shuttle Japanese tourists around, the Super Grandia is a compelling choice because of its no-nonsense approach to vans. Just don’t forget that the driver’s seat should come with wicker seats as standard.
