The Toyota Granvia has received some additional equipment for 2022, along with a price increase.

    Deliveries of the updated model will begin in September 2021.

    Like the related HiAce van, the Granvia range gains Toyota Connected Services as standard fitment.

    This includes a 24/7 Emergency Call Centre function that relays the vehicle’s location in the event of a collision “that requires intervention” or if an airbag deploys.

    The e-call function can also be triggered manually via a new SOS button inside the cabin.

    Toyota’s people mover also gains rear privacy glass, front carpet mats and an additional low-profile antenna. Six USB-C outlets replace the old USB-A ones.

    Pricing is up slightly on the updated model, with a $1060 increase for the base trim and $924 for the VX.

    The Granvia continues to offer two seating options: either six seats across three rows, or eight seats across four rows.

    It serves as a de facto replacement for the old Tarago, which was discontinued in 2019. However, it’s a considerably pricier model and competes more with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz V-Class than the Kia Carnival.

    Pricing

    • 2022 Toyota Granvia 6-seater: $65,150 (+$1060)
    • 2022 Toyota Granvia 8-seater: $67,150 (+$1060)
