2024 Toyota HiAce Summary

Latest VFACTS new vehicle registration figures show that in 2024 the Toyota HiAce one-tonne van commands more than 46 per cent of the 2.5 to 3.5-tonne GVM segment.

In other words, almost every second new mid-sized van sold in Australia is a HiAce, leaving numerous competitors from Korean, European and Chinese manufacturers to fight over the remaining buyers.

So, why does the only Japanese competitor in this crowded space maintain such dominance? We recently became reacquainted with this venerable workhorse in search of answers.

2021 LDV Deliver 9 Summary

There are currently 14 rivals competing for customers in the Light Duty or LD (3501-8000kg GVM) segment of Australia’s heavy commercial vehicle market. Business buyers and fleet operators are thick on the ground here and competition for their business is fierce.

Chinese brand LDV, a division of the huge SAIC Motor conglomerate which is now the seventh largest automotive company in the world, recently joined this battle with its new Deliver 9 van range that’s priced to entice. We spent a week aboard one to see how LDV’s claim of superior value stacks up when there’s work to be done.
