Love it. I know having strong opinions on commercial vans is kinda weird, but I've always felt the H200 has a certain flare the H300 lacks, so I appreciate the styling on this

Are they actually gonna sell these?

In the US? Almost certainly not. But it's still an important model on the world market.

The Hiace in that article is about Japanese one, as they’re still selling H200 and no follow worldwide with H300.
H300 is considered not perfect for Japanese buyers needing, so Toyota is now planning to design a Japanese exclusive Hiace.

I mean frankly the H300 looks absolutely massive next to the H200, considering how many tight squeezes there are in Japanese cities I can imagine a lot of customers wanting something smaller

Id be happy with a current gen HiAce van. Been coming across a lot of campers in japan on youtube with cool rigs

Glad they’re developing a new architecture, TNGA feels like it’s holding Toyota back a little, on the truck side. Or maybe that’s the engine engineers. Seems like this gen of 4 and 6 cyl both have issues.
Anyway, great looking van, doesn’t look production for a work truck.

Eh? It says in the article it’s being moved to a TNGA platform.

Looks very futuristic & cyberpunk in these renders, but I doubt it will look like that in the end. Work vans are there to work and bumpers get hit, sensors broken, and doors/tailgates slammed. This pretty design will make repairing all that damage pricy

Wouldn't be any different from the Kia PV5, and I don't see anything form-over-function going on here. The concepts are pretty utilitarian.
