Toyota Hiace Commuter/GL Grandia/Super Grandia Owners & Discussions Thread [Merged]

[Mhandz]

Toyota Phils has a wide body which is called Hi-Ace Grandia. The Grandia is roughly 15% wider than the base-model Hi-Ace Commuter.

I looked at the link and it seems the Australian SLWB and Commuter Bus have the same specs as the Philippines' Grandia (see the post below). The Aussie LWB has the same specs as the Philippines' Commuter. (see the post below)

TMPC, in their website, specify four body types for the Hi-Ace. But looking closely, there are essentially two bodies only (notwithstanding any errors from the TMPC website). In Thailand, they also have two body types.

"Van Wide Body"
Overall Length (mm) 5380
Overall Width (mm) 1880
Overall Height*1 (mm) 2285
Wheelbase (mm) 3110

"Van Standard Body" same as "Commuter Wide Body" and "Commuter Standard Body"

Overall Length (mm) 4695
Overall Width (mm) 1695
Overall Height*1 (mm) 1980
Wheelbase (mm) 2570

The specs on the upper most refers to the Grandia while the one below is the one for the Commuter.

I have some brochures of toyota hiace commuter and GL grandia. Grandia really is wider and a bit bigger in almost every dimension than the Commuter.

may nakita din akong variant ng hiace na commuter body pero 4 captain seat at isang bench type seat ang seating configuration nya. mas maluwag kesa sa commuter. Maron din syang retractable table para pwede magpoker while on long trips.hehehhe...

I guess with this two new variant (Grandia & Commuter), di na kailangan na roof rack to hold additional cargos kasi spacious yung likod.

As with the predecessor 2.4L Commuter DSL, alang space sa likod as in nau-untog yung head mo sa rear glass, thus the need of roof rack.

Indeed for sure. Grandia is definitely wider and bigger than the Commuter. Look at the post below of the specs gleaned from the Toyota Philippines Website.

If I'm not mistaken, there are essentially two body types for the Hi-Ace wherever it is being sold. The Commuter and the Grandia. Their body specs are provided below (in bold).

TMPC, in their website, specify four body types for the Hi-Ace. But looking closely, there are essentially two bodies only (notwithstanding any errors from the TMPC website). In Thailand, they also have two body types.

Below is actually the Dimensions of the Toyota HiAce SLWB/Toyota HiAce Commuter Bus of TOYOTA MOTORS AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, etc.

"Van Wide Body"
Overall Length (mm) 5380 - isn't that too lenghty for an 11 seater!?
Overall Width (mm) 1880
Overall Height*1 (mm) 2285 - isn't it too high
Wheelbase (mm) 3110 - isn't that too lenghty for an 11 seater!?
