Engine Displacement: 2,755 cc
The 2026 Toyota Hiace is powered by the high-torque 1GD-FTV 2.8-liter Turbocharged Diesel engine. This Euro-compliant unit is optimized for the heavy duty cycles required by transport businesses in Pakistan, providing a balance of longevity and pull-power.
Max Power: 174 bhp (130 kW) @ 3,400 RPM
In its highest state of tune for the Grand Cabin variants, the engine produces 174 bhp. This ensures that even with a full load of 14 passengers and luggage, the vehicle can maintain highway speeds without straining the powertrain.
Max Torque: 420 Nm @ 1,600 – 2,600 RPM
The Hiace delivers a substantial 420 Nm of torque. This low-end grunt is essential for the "Stop-and-Go" nature of Pakistani urban traffic and for climbing steep mountain passes when fully loaded.
No. of Cylinders: 4
The engine utilizes an In-line 4-cylinder configuration. It is designed with a focus on ease of maintenance, a critical factor for fleet operators in Pakistan where part availability and mechanical simplicity are prioritized.
Valve Train: DOHC 16-Valve
Featuring a Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) with 4 valves per cylinder, this setup allows for better airflow and combustion control, directly improving the fuel economy figures for long-distance travel.
Fuel System: Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDi)
The Hiace uses an advanced Common Rail Direct Injection system. This technology ensures that fuel is delivered at ultra-high pressures for maximum efficiency and reduced noise (NVH) levels inside the cabin.
0-100 km/h Time: ~12.5 Seconds
While not built for speed, the Hiace manages a 0-100 km/h time of approximately 12.5 seconds. This is highly respectable for a commercial van, allowing it to integrate safely into fast-moving motorway traffic.
Top Speed: 180 km/h
The top speed is capped at 180 km/h. Given the semi-bonneted design of the new generation, the vehicle remains more aerodynamically stable at these speeds compared to the older "flat-face" models.
