Not to be confused with the Toyota HiAce Van (H200)
Toyota HiAce Wagon (pronounced as "High Ace") is a light commercial van built by the Toyota. First launched in October 1967, the HiAce has since been available in a wide range of body configurations, including a minivan/MPV, minibus, panel van, crew van, pickup truck, taxi and an ambulance, etc. In Japan, the HiAce is exclusive to Toyopet Store locations.
The van can acquire through the secret code by highlighting the MR2 with a corresponding code as: 322-322-322, or the Wangan Terminal. This comes with the fully-tuned version than the actual stock HP.
The HiAce debuted in the first arcade rendition of Wangan Midnight as traffic car. The Hiace reappers in Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune as ???, until fully playable starting from Maximum Tune 2 by unlocking the cars via cheat code alongside another Toyota car, Corolla.
Overview[]
The HiAce Wagon comes with a pre-installed anti-roll bars, the players can reach closer distance (if uses a first-person camera). Despite the size, it is best blocking the opponents behind, and make use of drafting but the third-person view is obviously bulkier (even in the High-lift version), so players must take caution when dealing the traffic. This van is unsuitable passing on tight traffic space, however.
