This time, we looked into the delivery times for the new Hiace as of February 2025. When will the delivery time be? Many people are probably wondering. If you’re considering buying one, we recommend you take the time to visit a dealership now.
“The Hiace is a great choice for work and leisure. But is it true that delivery times are so long that it’s hard to get one?”
For those of you with such concerns, this article will provide detailed information on delivery dates for the new Hiace as of February 2025.
The Hiace is Toyota’s pride and joy, a commercial van. With its high durability and ample loading space, it has gained tremendous support not only in the business world, but also in recent years among users who enjoy outdoor leisure activities such as camping.
However, due to its popularity, delivery times are currently longer.
“When will I be able to get it?” “Is there any way to speed up the delivery date?”
We will help you resolve these questions and help you get your new Hiace smoothly.
Delivery time is approximately 4 to 8 months
Why does the delivery time for the new Hiace take so long?
There are several factors that could be behind the longer delivery times for the new Hiace.
First of all, the impact of the global semiconductor shortage is casting a large shadow over the entire automotive industry, and the Hiace is no exception. The disruption in parts supply is causing delays in production.
Another factor contributing to the long delivery times is the wide range of grades and options available for the Hiace. In order to accommodate a wide range of customizations to suit the needs of each individual user, the production line becomes complex and inevitably takes time.
Furthermore, the Hiace is extremely popular overseas , and production for export is also carried out in parallel. As the company needs to respond to orders from overseas in addition to domestic demand, production capacity is becoming increasingly strained.
And let’s not forget the Hiace itself is incredibly popular . Its reliability and versatility make it a popular choice for many users, and it’s always in steady demand.
The combined effect of these factors is lengthening the delivery times for the new Hiace.
What is the delivery time for the new Hiace as of November 2024?
So, as of November 2024, how long will it take to deliver the new Hiace?
This is information from Chiba Toyopet, who I always rely on. When I inquired, I was told that they are currently not accepting orders. It appears that only the standard body is available for order.
Unfortunately, Toyota’s official website only states, “Please contact your dealer for details,” and does not specify a specific delivery date.
This is because delivery times vary greatly depending on the grade, options, body color, and inventory status at each dealership.
Generally, it takes about 3 to 6 months for standard grades, but it may take more than 6 months for popular grades or vehicles with options.
If you would like more detailed information on delivery times, it is best to contact your nearest Toyota dealer directly .

５月に社有車のハイエース入替予定だったんだけど、納期遅延、未定の連絡有りました。
やっぱり😭😭😭— Ken_Sat_WR (@Ken_Sugar_DJ) February 16, 2024
The Hiace was redesigned and orders resumed on January 10th, but those who were able to place an order after orders resumed are expected to receive their vehicle around May or June , meaning the delivery time is 5 to 6 months. However, orders have already been suspended since March 2024, and this continues to this day. Those considering purchasing the vehicle can only wait for information on when orders will resume. We will let you know as soon as new information becomes available.
Is there a way to speed up the delivery of the new Hiace?
“I want to get a Hiace as soon as possible!”
It’s natural to think that way, so here are some ways to speed up your delivery time.
1. Get on the waiting list
Some dealerships may have a waiting list in case cancellations occur.
Be proactive and visit the dealer and let them know you would like to be placed on the waiting list.
2. Search for available vehicles
If you can find a car that meets your requirements from the dealer’s inventory, you may be able to significantly shorten the delivery time.
It is also effective to regularly check the dealer’s website and inventory information, or contact them directly.
3. Review your grade and options
If you install popular grades or options, delivery times tend to be longer.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, you may be able to shorten delivery times by reviewing the grade and options.
4. Find a dealer with fast delivery times
Delivery times may vary depending on the dealer.
One way to find out is to contact multiple dealers and find one that can deliver quickly.
5. Consider a used car
If you absolutely need a Hiace right away, consider buying a used car.
If you can find a used car in good condition, you can get it faster than buying a new car.
Things you need to know before buying a Hiace
When considering purchasing a Hiace, it is important to consider not only the delivery time but also the following points:
Size : The Hiace comes in a variety of body styles, including standard, wide, and super long. Choose the appropriate size based on the size of your parking space and ease of use.
Vehicle price : The Hiace is a commercial van, so the price range is high. Prices vary greatly depending on the grade and options, so be sure to carefully consider your budget.
Maintenance costs : In addition to the vehicle price, you also need to consider maintenance costs such as fuel economy, taxes, and insurance. In particular, automobile tax and weight tax tend to be higher than for private cars.
Purpose : The Hiace is a vehicle that can be used for a wide range of purposes, from commercial use to leisure. Before purchasing, be sure to clarify what purpose you will use it for.

Thoughts on the improved model
The current fifth-generation Hiace, the H200 series, is a long-length vehicle that will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2024. It’s a particularly popular model, widely used for both business and personal use, and it’s safe to say the Hiace is synonymous with Japanese vans. Toyota is likely considering a full model change, but the decision to switch from a cab-over to a semi-bonnet configuration for safety reasons seems to be a sticking point. A cab-over configuration would reduce the engine bay, allowing for more cargo and passenger capacity without increasing overall length. The reason for adopting a semi-bonnet configuration, even at the expense of the Hiace’s greatest advantage, is that Toyota is currently developing the H300 series as a global strategic commercial vehicle model. While the cab-over model’s cab (driver’s seat) is located above the engine, making maintenance difficult overseas, the semi-bonnet model is easier to maintain. The engine’s location below the driver and passenger seats also poses heat and noise issues. While the cab-over configuration offers safety benefits from the lack of a bonnet in front, it also increases the risk of a collision compared to a conventional cab-over . The H300 series is on sale overseas, and it seems most likely that in Japan, both series will be sold side by side at the 22nd anniversary.
A word from the editorial department
Due to the high popularity of the new Hiace, delivery times are currently being extended.
However, there are several ways to speed up delivery, such as waiting for cancellations, searching for in-stock cars, or changing the grade.
Take your time and think carefully before buying a Hiace that’s perfect for you.
We hope this article will help you choose your Hiace.
