Toyota HiAce aftermarket customization developments

Overview

New aftermarket products and performance upgrades are being released for the Toyota HiAce 200 series in Japan.

Genb has introduced Motion Control Beam (MCB) reinforcement parts designed to mitigate body distortion and vibration caused by the vehicle’s cab-over design. Utilizing technology from Aisin, these components use spring reaction forces and friction to improve ride quality and handling stability across various configurations, including 2WD and 4WD models.

Simultaneously, customization options are expanding in both aesthetic and functional directions. The brand BEECAS launched the ‘BabyGang’ aero kit, which utilizes a 1980s ‘Kaido Racer’ aesthetic featuring custom spoilers and forged wheels. In contrast, Proto released the ‘D-Catlo Grand Effector GE1’ for 4WD models, focusing on high-speed stability by managing airflow to reduce turbulence and vehicle swaying during highway driving.
