Toyota Upgrades Hiace and Quantum Models

Toyota South Africa has introduced an upgraded driver guard to the Ses’fikile commuter which is says provides additional protection for the driver against possible COVID-19 transmission. 

All Hiace Ses’fikile models produced from October 2020 onwards are fitted standard with the COVID-19 driver guard.

The Quantum range now sports added comfort and convenience features along with exterior upgrades on selected models. The GL bus inherits 16-inch alloy wheels shod with 235/65-R16 tyres (replacing the previously-employed steel versions), while also standardizing the wheel size between 11 and 14-seater models. 

A new upgraded rear-view mirror incorporates an auto-dimming function (electro chromatic), as well as reverse camera display. The newly-added reverse camera provides drivers with a clear view behind the vehicle, offering improved visibility while also promoting safety.

Panel Van and Crew Cab derivatives too benefit from the auto-dimming rear-view mirror and reverse camera upgrade. 

Model Line-up Rationalisation

Based on market response and customer feedback, Toyota SA have reduced the number of derivatives within the Panel Van and Crew Cab ranges. 

The non-air-conditioned models have been discontinued while the Crew Cab line-up has been simplified by deleting the rear air-conditioned version from the line-up.
