Toyota launches new Quantum (and brings back Hiace name) | IOL Motoring

Johannesburg - Toyota has released an all-new Quantum range in South Africa, and like the previous GL and van variants, the new ones are imported.

The new Quantum range continues where the old GL and van models took off, while changing from a cab-over to a front-engined ‘semi-bonnet’ design. Not only is the platform all new, but it houses a completely different engine in the form of Toyota’s 2.8-litre turbodiesel that Hilux drivers will be familiar with. The motor produces 130kW at 3400rpm and 420Nm from 1400 to 2600rpm, at least on all versions barring the 14-seater bus, which is instead tuned to produce 115kW and 420Nm. In all cases a six-speed manual gearbox is employed.

Depending on the model, air conditioning with separate control and air flow for the rear occupants is provided.
