Toyota has announced official pricing and
specification for the Granvia in Australia, where it will launch on October 14. Offered in four trim levels, the
six-seater starts at AUD 62,990 (USD 43,085), whereas the most affordable
eight-seater model will set you back at least AUD 64,990 (USD 44,453). The
better specced Granvia VX with seating for either six or eight costs AUD 74,990 (USD 51,293).
Accessible via the dual sliding doors, the rear
passenger compartment features four captain’s chairs, or an additional two-seat
bench in the 8-seater variant. Choose the VX and the rear doors become
power-operated.
The higher grade also features the latest multimedia system,
with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and boasts quilted leather-accented
upholstery, 12-speaker Pioneer sound system, panoramic view monitor and digital
rearview mirror. The pre-collision safety with daytime and nighttime pedestrian
and daytime cyclist detection, road sign assist and high-speed active cruise
control are also standard.
The engine lineup has yet to be detailed, yet the
Granvia builds on the HiAce, and the latter comes with one petrol and two
diesel powertrains Down Under. Depending on the model, you can have it with the
2.8-liter oil burner, making 174 HP, paired to either a manual or an
automatic transmission. The same engine is also offered with 161 HP,
whereas topping up the lineup is the 3.5-liter petrol V6, with 277 HP,
paired to a stick shift or an auto ‘box.
