Every year in Russia, the demand for commercial vehicles is increasing and reaching the European level. And such a choice is characteristic not only for large automotive organizations whose activities are directly related to freight transportation. Increasingly, small companies and private traders who want to save on fuel acquire a commercial mode of transport.
Modern commercial vehicles are fully modernized and adapted to our roads. They are easily controllable and maneuverable. Often, minibuses are bought by families who often travel to nature or move from place to place. Moreover, in terms of comfort, new commercial vehicles are in no way inferior to “passenger cars”.
It should be noted that the very concept of "commercial transport" does not always mean something cumbersome. Today, the market is represented by "light" models, such as Toyota Hiace. This is a 12-passenger passenger car designed for travel enthusiasts by large companies. Once inside the minibus, you are immersed in a cozy, tastefully decorated space.
Of course, for daily trips Toyota Hiace, maybe not a very profitable option, but convenient and comfortable.
Fuel consumption on a 2.7-liter gasoline engine is too big (similar engines are on the Land Cruiser), and, of course, the cost of the car is also high. But if this does not deter you, then you can buy a minibus in the cabin for about 900 thousand rubles and enjoy a roomy minivan.
