Fuel options include a 2.7 litre petrol producing 111 kW and 241 Nm or a 3.0 litre turbo-diesel with 100 kW and 300 Nm. Combined consumption sits near 8.0 L/100km for diesel manuals on long-wheelbase vans and rises to about 9.2 L/100km on super-long versions or automatics. Petrol variants use roughly 12 L/100km. The 70 litre tank supports decent range for commercial work.
Routine servicing follows a 10,000 km or six-month interval for oil and filter changes under normal conditions. Heavier commercial use may call for more frequent checks on brakes, filters and fluids. Major items such as coolant and transmission fluid fall at longer intervals per the schedule.
Safety equipment centres on dual front airbags with pretensioners and force limiters plus ABS and brake assist. From around 2015 electronic stability control, traction control and hill-start assist became available or standard. The long-wheelbase van earned a four-star ANCAP rating after 2011 updates improved knee protection. Body structure includes side-impact bars and energy-absorbing elements.
Living with the Hiace means straightforward maintenance access and a proven durable platform. Keep up with scheduled services and monitor wear items like rear leaf springs under load. Regular tyre-pressure checks and clean fuel filters help maintain economy and reliability over high kilometres.
