2019 toyota HIACE VAN in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2019 Toyota Hiace: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2019 Toyota Hiace is more than a van; it is the heartbeat of Kenya’s economy. 2019 is a crossover year: you can still get the classic "Shark" (H200) shape which is beloved by matatu operators, or the new "GranAce" style (H300) semi-bonnet shape which is safer and more luxurious for tourism/family use.
Engine Options (The Workhorses)
The 3.0L Diesel (1KD-FTV) is the legend—powerful and parts are everywhere. The newer 2.8L Diesel (1GD-FTV) is smoother, quieter, and more efficient (using a 6-speed auto), making it ideal for executive shuttles. There is also a 2.0L Petrol for city cargo vans.
Design & Configurations
The H200 (Cab-over) maximizes interior space within a small footprint—perfect for squeezing through CBD traffic. The H300 (Semi-bonnet) puts the engine in front, offering significantly better crash safety and a quieter cabin, but it is longer and harder to park.
Reliability
The Hiace defines reliability. It is built to run 24/7. However, the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) on the newer 1GD engines can clog with low-quality diesel. Regular highway runs and genuine filters are essential.
9. 💰 2019 Toyota Hiace Price in Kenya
Importing a clean, low-mileage Hiace ensures you get a vehicle with plenty of life left, unlike locally abused ex-matatus.
| 2019 Variant | Est. Import Cost | Avg. Local Price | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L Petrol Van (DX/GL) | Ksh 2.8M - 3.2M | Ksh 3.8M - 4.2M | Import (Save ~1.0M) |
| 3.0L Diesel Van (KD Engine) | Ksh 3.5M - 3.9M | Ksh 4.5M - 5.0M | Import (Save ~1.1M) |
| 2.8L Diesel Super GL (Luxury) | Ksh 4.2M - 4.6M | Ksh 5.5M - 6.0M | Import (Save ~1.4M) |
* Prices are estimates based on Dec 2025 market rates.
Meet the Competition
- Nissan Caravan (NV350)- The Hiace's arch-rival. Often cheaper to buy and slightly narrower, good for city routes.
The Ci Verdict
If you are in the transport business, the 2019 Toyota Hiace is an investment, not an expense. It holds value incredibly well and keeps running when others fail. For luxury shuttles, aim for the 2.8L Super GL trim.
