Granvia ticks all the boxes in premium van segment

Toyota New Zealand’s all-new Granvia eight seat van offers European inspired styling and premium comfort along with a high level of safety features to move people in style.

The most recent addition to the Toyota line-up features the latest Toyota Safety Sense active safety technologies along with luxury features that will appeal to both high-end family, hospitality, and corporate buyers.

Toyota New Zealand Chief Operating Officer, Neeraj Lala said the all-new Granvia marries the spaciousness and comfort of a premium people mover with the latest Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance features.

“Granvia provides high levels of safety with an almost limousine-like feeling of cabin comfort and refinement for passengers,” he said.

“It’s a premium addition to our comprehensive van line-up.”

With a European inspired exterior design, the all-new Granvia is based on the new generation Hiace platform. The front of the vehicle features a contemporary wide grille with relatively high front headlights and a painted front bumper with chrome garnishes. The chrome accents continue into the side profile with the side skirts. The contemporary look is further enhanced by the 17” alloy wheels.

The rear design features an upper spoiler, a painted rear bumper with chrome garnishes and modern rear taillights.

There are four exterior colours available; Crystal Pearl, Ebony, Graphite and Silver Pearl.

Powered by a 2.8 litre 4-cylinder, inline common rail direct injection diesel engine that produces 130 kW maximum power and 450 Nm of maximum torque, the engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the new 4-link coil rear suspension with front and rear stabiliser bars provides superior ride comfort.

Featuring a rear cabin with four individual reclining and sliding captain’s chairs with armrests and a fourth row with a 60:40 split two-seater bench seat all passengers will be able to travel in luxurious style. The 60:40 split rear bench seat includes a tip-up function that allows an increase in luggage capacity.

The interior design carries on the contemporary styling with black interior trim, metallic black instrument panel ornamentation, leather steering wheel and stitching detail on the soft touch upper instrument panel.

Interior cabin comforts are plentiful in the new Granvia with front and rear climate controls, smart entry and push button start, power sliding rear side doors, a digital rear view mirror, and the latest multi-media system with a 7” touch screen, Mobile Assistant, Bluetooth and Voice Recognition.
