Toyota Hiace Sound Satellite is geared to disc jockeys on the go. Equipped with a fan-shaped sound studio with counter and audio gear, the vehicle also sported two large roof-mounted foldaway plasma display screens.

It's so big, they turned it into a DJ's booth!

Does anyone here have the specs for the new commuter variant here sa RP?

Grandia is nice but a bit pricey and am afraid baka di kayanin ng budget so we are considering a lower variant. And also, they carry at least 15 peeps, accdg sa website. Wanted sana to get hold of the brochures so we could at least study the pros and cons. Saka yung interiors sana.

I went to the site ng TMPI pero parang bitin yung mga specs and pics dun, Grandia lang ang madami dun.

TIA!

hello guys,

just like to get your opinion lang about dun sa performance ng new hiace grandia...

i was just wondering, medyo nagdududa lang kasi ako dun sa 2.5li na engine niya, how on earth is it able to drive such a huge body with that small torque... di ba siya underpowered? ok lang siguro when travelling on plain roads, but how about kung fully loaded ka then, paakyat ka ng baguio or ng tagaytay highlands? di kaya titirik yun? or mabilis mangitim ang usok nun?

maybe there are owners of the new hiace here, kindly share your experience naman, thanks a lot!

The D4d actually pumps out pretty good power due to its state of the art design and electronic doodads. It can outpower larger engines from a generation or two ago.

i have ridden the wide version of the HIACE. Ok naman ang hatak nya. Considering na puno kami sa van. Naupo ako sa pinakadulo to feel the ride of the Hiace, to my surprise di sya matagtag.

Hi. I've driven th Grandia, and believe me whether its 2.5 or 3.0, the D4D new engine is amazingly powerful and quiet. But bec. the 3.0 variant is a bit larger, be very careful of the blind spots. I got my new Grandia scratched

thanks for your reply guys... siguro low speed design ng transmission nito, kaya malakas ang hatak... but kung sa top speed ba, can it outclass the innova or the 2.5li na fortuner?
