The all new replacement for the retired Tarago people mover has just arrived, and the Toyota Granvia is a one-of-a-kind follow up. There is no shying away from its unique design, which blends the Hiace van with a sporty and aggressive stance. At the same time, it’s clear that Toyota is pitching this entry to premium buyers, such is the sophistication inside. Not only does this extend to the quality of the materials and trim around the cabin, but the overwhelming sense of airiness and sophisticated safety offering at hand. From AEB to rear-cross traffic alerts, and blind spot monitoring, the latest technology comes standard. Led by an enterprising 2.8L turbo diesel motor that reaches 130kW and 450Nm, it’s more than a handful to keep under control. At first glance the size of the Granvia may have you questioning its nimbleness and steering, but it has a remarkably sharp 12m turning circle that fares well against some SUVs, while driver positioning and visibility is unparalleled. With seating for six or eight, including the option for plush second and third row captain’s seating, practicality is assured. Toyota has gone all out here to create a luxury model, and the versatility of its range means that whichever variant you end up with, it is sure to exceed your expectations of what a people mover is capable of achieving.
