1997 Toyota Hiace Super Custom

The 1997 Toyota Hiace Super Custom stands out as one of the most practical and comfortable JDM vans available for import. Finished in its original white two-tone paint, this Hiace presents extremely well with straight body panels and clean trim throughout. With only 78,460 miles, this van has been lightly driven and well preserved for its age. Known for its smooth driving manners, upright seating position, and exceptional visibility, the Hiace Super Custom is an excellent choice for anyone in the market for a clean JDM van suitable for commuting, road trips, or day-to-day use.

This is the 2WD model, but it’s still very capable year-round—even in winter—when fitted with proper snow tires like Michelin X-Ice, Bridgestone Blizzak, or similar winter compounds. In many situations, a 2WD Hiace on true winter tires will actually outperform a 4WD model running all-season tires, especially in braking, cornering, and overall control on snow and ice. In Japan and other regions where winter driving is common, properly equipped 2WD Hiace models are known to perform nearly as well as their 4WD counterparts. The 2WD setup also offers a slightly smoother, more refined ride on the highway, with less drivetrain vibration and drag.

Powered by Toyota’s reliable gasoline engine, this Hiace delivers quiet operation, easy maintenance, and long-term dependability. The gas-powered Hiace is favored for its smooth acceleration, refined driving feel, and excellent parts compatibility. Paired with an automatic transmission, it drives comfortably in both city and highway settings. Modern features for the era—such as air conditioning, power steering, power windows, and airbags—make the driving experience pleasant and confident. The engine bay is tidy and well maintained, reflecting the careful ownership this van has received.

Inside, the cabin is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out. Large windows create an open and airy atmosphere, while the seating and upholstery remain in very good condition. Toyota’s ergonomic interior design makes this Hiace easy to operate and enjoyable for both the driver and passengers. Cabin access is convenient, and the interior build quality has held up exceptionally well. Whether used for family transport, weekend travel, or business-related driving, the interior delivers comfort and practicality.

For anyone in the market for a dependable and unique Japanese import, this 1997 Toyota Hiace Super Custom is a standout option. Its low mileage, clean two-tone exterior, well-kept interior, and smooth gasoline engine make it an appealing choice in today’s JDM market. With demand for quality Hiace models steadily rising, this is a turn-key, ready-to-drive example now available for sale.
