Toyota Granvia eight-seater confirmed for Australia

Upmarket new HiAce-based people-mover to replace Tarago by the end of this year

Toyota has unveiled an all-new eight-seat ‘luxury’ people-mover based on its new HiAce and called the Granvia, and confirmed it will be released in Australia in the fourth quarter of this year before the Tarago is discontinued at the end of 2019.

Pitched predominantly at upmarket hospitality, family and corporate buyers, the Granvia returns Toyota Australia to a market it hasn’t played in outside of low-volume vans privately brought in from Japan.

In Australia, the Toyota Granvia will compete with offerings including the Mercedes-Benz Viano and Volkswagen Multivan.

Riding on four-link coil-spring suspension, the Granvia is based on the same platform as the all-new HiAce and HiAce commuters, and incorporates a familiar Toyota Safety Sense suite.

The Toyota Granvia will be sold here solely with a turbo-diesel engine and available in two grades. Included features will comprise power-sliding rear side doors, electrically-adjustable driver's and second-row captain's seats, and leather-accented upholstery.

On-road entertainment and information will be provided by Toyota's fully connected latest generation advanced multimedia system that will be available with four USB ports and a total of 12 speakers.

On the safety front, the Granvia boasts nine airbags, active cruise control and pre-collision safety system (PCS) with pedestrian and daytime cyclist detection, among the many driver-assistance features.

“Arriving in the fourth quarter of this year, the Granvia will take over the role that the long-standing Toyota Tarago has played but more than simply a replacement, the Granvia will take the luxury people-mover to new heights,” Toyota Australia said.

Pricing and exact specifications of the Toyota Granvia will be confirmed closer to launch.
