After about two decades, the Toyota Hiace Super Grandia finally gets a retrofit that suits it better for the people who love to ride in it. The all-new Super Grandia has been upgraded to give the ultra luxury feel, one that can only be compared to flying first class on an airline.

“The Super Grandia has indeed become a symbol of comfort, convenience, and durability,” says TMP President Satoru Suzuki. “We are excited to bring a higher level of luxury and a delightful ride experience that Filipinos truly deserve with the All New Hiace Super Grandia. We expect this model to further elevate the Hiace which currently has a 54.6% share in its segment, year-to-date as of July,” he adds.

Toyota embarked on a series of developments on the design, performance, and safety features of the vehicle that gave it a strong and refined exterior but with an inviting and comfortable interior that embodies grand luxury and omotenashi (hospitality).

“The All New Hiace Super Grandia promises a stress-free drive both for the driver and passenger and provides a ride experience and atmosphere that resembles first class air travel.”

The Super Grandia now has precise chrome accents to give elegance to a large front grille that merges with the defined bi-beam LED head lamps. The rear chrome garnish mirrors the front design and is also complemented by the distinctive shape of the LED rear combination lamps. The low center of gravity and wide stance is accentuated by the chrome lining that runs along the side to the bottom of the rear bumper.

It now has a Powersliding Doors, for the Elite variant, that exudes an inviting entry into the luxurious cabin. Inside, the interior illumination sets a relaxing mood which can be adjusted to the passenger’s preference. Illumination can be set to blue, amber, or white for the Elite variant.

Another feature are the quilted leather 4-way Power Adjust Captain Seats that allows for as luxurious personal space for each passenger. These are for the first and second row while a quilted leather 4-way Power Adjust Captain Seats with Ottoman replace the first rear row for the Super Grandia Elite.

For all variants of the Super Grandia, bench type space up seats at the farthest row can accommodate up to 4 more passengers. Rear personal reading lamps provide each passenger a greater sense of personal control and convenience, giving them the option of better visibility in their personal space. Automatic climate control ensures passenger comfort all throughout the drive, with Nano-ETM air purifying technology for the Elite variant.

The all-new Super Grandia is powered by a fuel-efficient 1GD-FTV 2.8 Diesel A/T engine with 2,755cc displacement, 174 horsepower, intercooler system, and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation). The McPherson Strut suspension provides excellent handling and stability and a 4-Link Coil Spring rear suspension reduces cabin noise, vibration, and harshness, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride even on long drives.

Now, this is the fun part, the Hiace Super Grandia is equipped with advanced safety features, giving peace of mind and confidence for both the driver and passenger. All Super Grandia variants have Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Vehicle Stability Control with Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist, Clearance and Back Sonars, Back Monitor, 9 SRS airbags (driver, front passenger, driver knee, front side, and curtain shield), and Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) 3-point seatbelts for the driver and all passengers.

The Super Grandia Elite is the first variant in Toyota Motor Philippines’ official vehicle lineup which features Toyota Safety Sense (TSS). TSS incorporates active safety features which identify factors that may cause accidents and aid the driver in eliminating these factors. Features for this variant include the Pre-Collision System (PCS), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Automatic High Beam (AHB).
