Frontline first with Toyota campervan
Sydney specialist unveils first campervan on new Toyota Hiace baseQuick out of the blocks, Sydney's Frontline displayed Australia’s first motorhome based on the new 6th Generation Toyota Hiace at this year’s Victoria’s Caravan, Camping & Touring Supershow.
The new Frontline takes full advantage of the new long wheelbase H30 Hiace’s more useable floorplan, with its new up-front engine location that has helped the Toyota achieve its new ANCAP 5-Star safety rating and now features a true walk-through cabin for greater comfort and security.
The Hiace camper's traditional interior layout sees a compact kitchen with a two-burner gas cooktop and stainless steel sink module placed behind the driver’s seat with an 80-litre gas/electric fridge below.
Good standing room is achieved inside thanks to the Hiace’s large pop-top roof, while its rear compartment is dominated by a large day lounge that converts to a roomy queen bed with some minor cushion re-arrangement.
Sliding windows with fly-screens, a 100AH auxiliary battery with automatic charging, 50 litres of fresh water capacity, a standard three-metre wide Dometic wind-out awning and an external shower, are among other standard features.
Prices of the Frontline Hiace campervan start at $78,000, with buyers having the choice between Toyota’s 130kW/450Nm 2.8-litre turbo-diesel, or 207kW/360Nm 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, as well as manual or automatic transmissions.
A rooftop solar panel, a hot water system that also feeds the shower, a separate grey water tank, an internal roof bed, a separate flyscreen room that attaches to the awning, a rear tailgate flyscreen and a third battery, are amongst the options to turn the new Frontline Hiace into a true, all-season motorhome.
