We are used to calling Toyota HIACE's domestic version of the sea lion. Since it is mostly used for transporting and loading cargo or as tool car , our common sea lion vans are often broken and have no comfort. However, after watching the Toyota HIACE passenger version in Japan, you can clearly feel that the car is very comfortable.
1995 What kind of car is Toyota HiAce 3.0TD?
1995 Toyota Haishi belongs to the fourth generation of this car series. After summarizing the car manufacturing experience of the previous three generations of models, Toyota has created many variant models for HIACE, including freight version, passenger version, special vehicles and business vehicles. The 1995 Sea Lion in the picture above belongs to the category of commercial vehicles, and is officially called the Super Custom version, which is equivalent to the salon version of Toyota Crown.
We can easily distinguish the difference between it and ordinary HIACE from the appearance. First of all, it has the front and rear bars in the same color as the body, rather than the black plastic bar leather; in addition, there are special lace stickers on the body, and the wheel hubs are not ordinary iron wheels, but more exquisite alloy wheels; the more obvious difference is that there is a separate small window on the roof at the rear of the car, which is to allow rear passengers to have a broader view.
When we arrived in the car, we could clearly feel the huge difference between this car and the freight version. The rough plastic parts were replaced by soft wrapping. The steering column supported tilt adjustment, and was equipped with OEM SRS airbags. In addition, there are configurations such as electric rearview mirrors, electric windows, etc. The central control area is also equipped with a multimedia player and independent dual-zone automatic air conditioner.
Of course, the most obvious thing is the seats. The whole car has three rows of seats, which can accommodate 8 passengers. Each seat is wrapped in gray corduroy material, with extremely high softness and comfort.
power, this Toyota HIACE is equipped with 1KZ-TE 3.0L inline four-cylinder diesel turbo engine . This engine is also used in the second and third generation Toyota Prado models. The power parameters are 130 PS/287 N·m, and are recognized by many consumers for their high durability.
1995 Toyota HIACE 3.0TD used car in North America
This car was not sold in North America when it was first launched, so it is impossible to know the guide price of the new car. Today, the 27-year-old car is still worth $19,000. The buyer has a fancy to its durability and four-wheel drive off-road capability and wants to transform it into a travel lathe. In his own words, "Nomads need a reliable home."
