LWB or Wide Body, High Roof Super Long Wheelbase (SLWB)
HiAce’s 2 new body types are the result of dedicated research and development pursuing superior crash safety while still increasing cargo space. All Vans are now available in a Long Wheelbase (LWB) and a high roof, wide body, Super Long Wheelbase (SLWB), and the Commuter Bus comes standard in the SLWB. All 3 body types boast increased occupant and cargo space because the engine has been shifted forward, the body has been squared, and the space between the rear wheel housings has been increased.
Aerodynamic Design
Straight line stability and Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH) are major factors in driver fatigue – particularly when you drive all day. That’s why the HiAce features much enhanced aerodynamics. Extensive Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis resulted in a sleek windscreen angle, increased body rigidity, and integrated air dams at each side of the front bumper regulating air flow, giving you a much smoother and quieter ride.
Semi Semi-Bonnet
With its forward control mounted engine moved forward, the new HiAce is now categorised as a Semi Semi-Bonneted Van (Semi SBV). Featuring a small and convenient semi-bonnet, you now have easy access to brake fluid, radiator coolant, and window washer water, making essential day-to-day care much faster and easier.
2 Rear Side Doors on SLWB Van
Thanks to double side rear doors on the Super Long Wheelbase (SLWB) Van – one on either side – access to your cargo has never been easier. Like the Van itself, the doors are wider and taller and make loading and unloading much, much easier.
