IN the world of versatile and reliable family movers, the Toyota Hiace has long been a frontrunner. Now, enter the Toyota Hiace Super Grandia Elite — a promising blend of sophistication, functionality, and power. As I slid behind the wheel of this behemoth of a van, I embarked on a test drive that promised to redefine the driving and riding experience.

The first look at the Toyota Hiace Elite reveals a design that seamlessly marries contemporary aesthetics with the robustness expected from a utility vehicle. Measuring at 5,300 mm in length, 1,970 mm in width, and 1,990 mm in height, the Hiace Elite is truly massive when compared to its competitors. Its bold, dynamic lines, and the commanding grille instantly convey a sense of authority on the road. The Elite variant's sleek headlights and stylish 17-inch alloy wheels add a touch of modernity, making it clear that this is not just a utility vehicle but a statement of elegance.
