2020 Hino Liesse II in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2020 Hino Liesse II: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2020 Hino Liesse II is the bus for the operator who knows secrets. It is, bolt-for-bolt, a Toyota Coaster (XZB70) with a Hino badge. Launched in 2017 (4th Generation body), this 2020 model features the updated, stiffer ring-frame body structure which improves safety in case of a rollover—a critical feature for Kenyan PSVs. By buying the "Hino" version, you often save money at auction versus the Toyota-badged equivalent, while getting the exact same durability.
Quick Specs
Engine Options & Model Codes
Powered by the legendary Hino/Toyota N04C engine:
- 4.0L Turbo Diesel (N04C-VJ/VK): 150 HP / 180 HP. STANDARD This 4-cylinder common-rail engine is famous for reaching 500,000km without a sweat. It pairs with a 6-speed automatic (standard on most imports) or 5-speed manual.
Interior & Practicality
- High Roof (LX Grade): Most imports are "LX" grade with a high roof, allowing standing room for passengers. The large windows and effective air conditioning make it a favorite for VIP transport and tourism.
- Automatic Door: Features the "Glide" door mechanism which is smoother and safer than the old folding doors. Drivers can control it from the cockpit.
Fuel Efficiency & Ownership Costs
- Consumption: 7–9 km/l. Excellent for a 29-seater.
- Service: Parts are 100% interchangeable with the Toyota Coaster. You can service it at any Toyota dealership or independent truck garage. Filters, brake shoes, and suspension bushes are widely available.
- Resale: High demand from Matatu Saccos and schools keeps prices strong.
Suitability for Kenyan Roads
Rigid Body: The "Ring Frame" body structure reduces flexing on rough roads, meaning fewer rattles over time compared to the older models. The suspension is leaf-spring rear, independent front (on LX grade), offering a surprisingly smooth ride for a bus.
Safety & Reliability
Standard VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) prevents skids—a huge safety plus. Also features EBD and dual airbags for the front row. Reliability is unmatched in the segment.
