Australian specs and pricing have been announced for the new Toyota Granvia range ahead of a local arrival in October.
 
The HiAce based replacement for the Tarago will be offered in two grades - Granvia and Granvia VX - with a choice of six or eight seats in both. Prices start at $62,990 plus on-road costs for the Granvia and $74,990 plus on-roads for the VX.
 
All variants feature a rear cabin with four individual reclining Captain's chairs with armrests, with the eight-seater models adding a fourth-row, two-seat 60/40 split-bench.
 
Both versions get front and rear climate control, keyless entry and start, dual side sliding doors (power operated on VX) and the latest multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
 
The flagship Granvia VX adds quilted leather-accented upholstery, panoramic view monitor, a digital rear-view mirror, a 12-speaker Pioneer sound system, and power-adjustment for the backrest and additional fold-out ottoman leg-rest for the rear seating.
 
The Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance tech will be standard and consists of autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian (day and night) and cyclist detection (day only), high-speed active cruise control, lane departure alert, road sign assist, automatic high beam, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and nine airbags.
 
Power comes from the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine used in the HiAce, Toyota hasn’t confirmed outputs, however, expect something in the vicinity of 130kW and 450Nm.
   
The new Granvia and Granvia VX officially go on sale from 14 October 2019.
