At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, Toyota pulled the wraps off its next-generation commercial vehicle concept — the Hiace Concept. The prototype is meant to chart the course for the future evolution of the popular Toyota Hiace lineup.The design draws on the Japanese Kayoibako philosophy, which favors clean forms and smart use of space. Up front, a smooth fascia paired with slim LED headlamps gives the vehicle a crisp, tech-forward look. The angular body has been shaped with one clear goal: make the cabin as accommodating as possible and squeeze the most out of the cargo bay.Along the sides, teardrop-shaped windows stand out. They are configured to expand the driver’s forward and lateral view, a thoughtful detail that should pay off in everyday safety. Small rear windows sit high near the roofline, visually stretching the vehicle’s silhouette and lending it a neatly proportioned stance.Usability takes center stage in the loading area: the left-side sliding door does without a center pillar, opening up a wide aperture that makes getting bulky items in and out far easier. It’s the kind of practical solution operators tend to notice after the first busy day on the job.Inside, the Hiace Concept embraces minimalism. The instrument panel houses a straightforward display with core information and just a handful of compact buttons. The pared-back layout keeps distractions to a minimum and helps the driver settle into a calm, functional workspace.As for the technical setup and timing for series production, Toyota is not sharing specifics yet. The concept serves primarily as a preview of where the next generations could be headed, while the start date for mass production remains undisclosed.
