2025 Toyota HiAce vs Ford Transit Custom comparison
These are two of Australia's best-known van nameplates. One's brand new and one isn't; here's how they stack up on the spec sheet.
The 2023 Toyota HiAce is only available in one exterior paint colour, French Vanilla.
Frozen White is standard, with Agate Black, Magnetic and Moondust Silver a $700 option.
You can also opt for one of 58 special-order colours for an extra $1400
Toyota's tried and tested van is unchanged for 2025, but the barn door variant is still a great choice in the world of commercial vans.

The Ford Transit Custom is big on space, but even in long-wheelbase guise the mid-size delivery van doesn't feel unwieldy to drive.
