Daihatsu has announced the updated version of its popular light truck, the Hijet, which will officially launch on February 25, 2025. The latest model features several enhancements aimed at improving safety performance, and additional revisions have been made to its specifications. Notably, the price of the Hijet has also seen adjustments due to rising raw material costs.
The updated Hijet Truck model will range from 1,028,500 yen to 1,529,000 yen (including tax). This price change marks about a 6% increase compared to previous models, which reflects the rising costs of materials and improvements made to the vehicle's features.
Among the key upgrades, the new Hijet Truck now includes standard installation of the "Smart Assist" preventive safety technology across all units. This enhancement is particularly significant as it aligns the vehicles with current safety standards and provides additional peace of mind for drivers and operators.
Daihatsu's commitment to safety is evident with the incorporation of the rear vehicle check system, which helps prevent accidents when reversing. Such features are becoming increasingly necessary as roadway safety becomes more prioritized across the automotive industry.
Since its release, the Hijet Truck has been well-received, known for its versatility and efficiency, making it popular among businesses and individual users alike. The updates are expected to maintain its position as one of the leading choices within the light truck market.
With these changes, Daihatsu aims to not only meet consumer demands for improved safety features but also to adapt to the challenges presented by fluctuated material costs. The company will continue to monitor the market closely and adjust their offerings as necessary to maintain competitiveness and customer satisfaction.
Consumers interested in the latest model can expect the updated Hijet to be available at Daihatsu dealerships nationwide starting February 25. Those seeking more information are encouraged to visit Daihatsu's official website for detailed specifications and availability updates.
