Toyota Pixis Van

Overview

The Toyota Pixis Van was introduced to the market in 2011. This model is a rebadged version of the Daihatsu Hijet Caddie marketed under the Toyota brand name. This model complying with the kei van category is primarily designed for commercial purposes — delivery, retail, and small service work. The flat floor in the rear cargo area makes loading easier.

The 0.66L EF-VE 3-cylinder (52 hp) naturally aspirated engine is the main choice. The EF-SE engine is available in some versions. The 5MT manual transmission is preferred by commercial users. A 4AT automatic version is also available. The rear-engine, rear-wheel drive (RR) configuration gives this model the classic design characteristic of kei vans.

In Azerbaijan, the Toyota Pixis Van attracts interest among small business owners such as delivery services, florists, and food sellers. Sliding rear doors (van version), flat floor, and reliable engine are advantages. It is better known in the market as the Daihatsu Hijet Caddie. The Daihatsu network can be used for parts sourcing.
