Upgrade for Toyota's evergreen HiAce

Interior revamp and minor facelift for sales champ of vans
Toyota has responded to feedback from HiAce owners to tweak its top-selling van for improved cabin comfort. 
The updated HiAce gains a bucket seat on the passenger side of the cabin, offering more of a car-like ambience inside. A centre console with storage receptacle resides between the two seats. Standard features are now enhanced with the addition of a new multi-function steering wheel featuring switchgear for audio and cruise control. And a new infotainment screen displays time, external temperature and odometer.
Automatic models now feature a shift position indicator in the instrument binnacle, and a new Eco driving light advises the driver how to operate the vehicle more efficiently. Safety is improved with the adoption of seatbelt warning buzzers for the driver and passenger, plus a warning light for the passenger. 
Daytime running lights are incorporated in the revised headlights, which flank a restyled radiator grille. The front bumper has also been redesigned to complement the new headlights, aiming for a corporate look aligned closer with Toyota's latest passenger cars. A new exterior colour, scarlet, is available with the upgraded model range for 2014. 
Prices are unchanged, with the exception of the HiAce bus, which rises no more than $500, according to Toyota. The long-wheelbase van starts at $32,990 and the super-long wheelbase model costs $8000 more ($40,990). New pricing for the HiAce Commuter bus is $53,490. Automatic transmission is a $2500 option and Diesel adds another $4000. Premium paint is a $550 option and an auto door for the bus costs $900 extra.
