Toyota Granvia
The Toyota Granvia — a large luxury MPV on the H300 HiAce platform since 2019, with the 2.8L 1GD-FTV diesel (177 hp), 6-seat premium cabin, optional AWD, for Middle Eastern markets.
Overview
The Toyota Granvia was introduced in 2019 as the luxury passenger variant of the H300 HiAce platform series. This model adopted HiAce's modified front-cab configuration, giving the interior space a more contemporary profile. The 2.8L 1GD-FTV turbodiesel engine (177 hp) is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The Granvia is designed for Middle Eastern, Australian, and ASEAN markets. The 6-person premium configuration includes electrically adjustable rearward-facing seats, a panoramic retractable sunroof, and larger inter-seat spacing. An AWD option is available in certain markets — arriving in Azerbaijan from the Middle Eastern market.
In Azerbaijan, the Granvia is used for diplomatic and corporate transport purposes. The 1GD-FTV engine is supported by HiAce services. Despite its large size (5,302 mm), it provides comfortable travel on long routes such as Baku-Quba and Baku-Sheki.

Granvia FAQ — Azerbaijan Buyers
What is the difference between Granvia and GranAce?
The Granvia is the export version for Middle East/ASEAN/Australia markets. The GranAce places more emphasis on VIP configuration for Japan/Australia markets. Mechanically they are very close (both on H300 HiAce platform). The Granvia has modifications suited to Middle Eastern climate conditions.
Does the Granvia work with fuel quality issues?
The 1GD-FTV engine is sensitive to poor-quality diesel fuel. Using 50+ cetane diesel at official stations in Azerbaijan is recommended. Poor quality fuel can cause DPF and injector problems.
Is the Granvia suitable for long-distance Azerbaijan roads?
Yes. The Granvia provides a calm, powerful driving experience on motorways with its large diesel engine (450 Nm). High ground clearance (200 mm) copes with rough roads too. It has reliability levels in line with commercial transport standards.
Toyota Granvia ?
The Toyota Granvia is a large, powerful, luxury diesel MPV for corporate transport, VIP transfer services, and long-distance family travel. The reliability of the 1GD-FTV and the presence of the HiAce service network make this model practical in Azerbaijan. Its large size creates difficulty for city driving.
