The Шаблон:Nihongo is a series of light commercial vehicles (vans and pickup trucks) produced and sold by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu since late 2007.[1] It is also rebadged and marketed by Toyota as the Toyota LiteAce and Toyota TownAce since 2008, and by Mazda in Japan as the Mazda Bongo since 2020.

Overview

Developed by Daihatsu under the lead of chief engineer Masaharu Tezeni,[2][3] the Gran Max was released in November 2007 as the replacement of the Indonesian market Zebra of similar size. It also replaced the Perodua Rusa in Malaysia.[4] It is similar to the [[Daihatsu Hijet#tenth|tenth-generation Шаблон:Proper name]] by its "semi-cab" configuration (front wheels located forward of the door) for both the van and pickup models. Produced in Indonesia by Astra Daihatsu Motor, it is powered by 1,298 cc (K3-DE EFI), 1,495 cc (3SZ-VE VVT-i) and 1,496 cc (2NR-VE Dual VVT-i, since 2020) petrol engines and is both wider and longer than the kei car-sized Hijet.

Markets

Indonesia

The Gran Max was launched in Indonesia on 6 November 2007 as the successor to the aging Zebra Espass pickup and commercial van.[5] It was initially available with 1.3-litre K3-DE and 1.5-litre 3SZ-VE petrol engines. Both engines were only paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

In August 2022, the 3SZ-VE engine option was replaced by the newer 2NR-VE unit. Other improvements include an updated four-spoke steering wheel, additional cup holder, electric power steering, larger 14-inch alloy wheels, and a higher ground clearance by Шаблон:Convert.[6] No other changes were made to the exterior.

Japan

Since February 2008, the Gran Max has been exported to Japan where it was firstly sold as the Toyota LiteAce/TownAce, which is positioned below the HiAce. With the facelifted model released in 2020, the LiteAce-badged model was discontinued due to integration of Japanese Toyota dealers. At the same time, Daihatsu started selling the vehicle in Japan as the Gran Max, slotting it above the Hijet kei vehicles. It is the first captive import product in the Japanese Daihatsu lineup.[7][8] It is also exported to Japan under Mazda brand as the Bongo, which replaced the previous Mazda-built models. These models are offered with optional collision avoidance system marketed as Smart Assist.

Taiwan

The Шаблон:Proper name pickup was launched for pre-sale in Taiwan in November 2021, and has been assembled locally by Kuozui Motors in Guanyin. Deliveries started in February 2022. The top grade is available with collision avoidance system marketed as Toyota Safety Sense.[9][10] In October 2022, the company started to take pre-orders for the van model.[10][11]

In the Philippines, the Шаблон:Proper name was launched on 15 July 2022 with the 1.5-litre 2NR-VE engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. It is available in Pickup, Panel Van, FX Utility Van and Cargo Шаблон:Proper name Van models (the latter two were added in August 2022).[12][13]
