Toyota TownAce Evolution (1976-2025)
Toyota TownAce Evolution (1976-2025) This video is about the evolution of Toyota townace from 1976 to present 2025. The first townace (R10 series) made its sales debut in October 1976 as a widened and lengthened version of the liteace (M10), still using the same doors and some other panels.At first three- or six-seater vans were offered, the more popular TR10 receiving the 1588 cc 2T-J engine. The smallest KR10 has the 1166 cc 3K-J. Eight-seater wagons have the desmogged 12T engine. The 4K-J motor with 69 PS replaced the 3K-J in February 1978. These were mated to 4 and 5 speed manual and 5-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota liteace and townace are a line of light commercial and derivative passenger vans produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Toyota. These vehicles originally utilized the cab-over-engine configuration, although since 1996 a semi-cab-over arrangement has featured instead. The liteace launched in 1970 as light-duty truck, with commercial and van/wagon body variants added in 1971. In 1976, Toyota released the larger townace van/wagon that derived from the liteace; a townace truck arrived later in 1978. Between 1982 and 1992, the series accommodated the masterace Surf—an upscale townace passenger wagon. The two model lines existed separately until 1982 when townace trucks became rebadged liteace trucks—then in 1992 liteace vans became rebranded townace vans—thus unifying the once separate vehicle lines. In Japan, the liteace retailed at Toyota Auto Store dealerships, with the townace sold at Toyota Corolla Store dealerships. The liteace and townace have been commonly exported to Africa, Asia and Australia. Over the years, select liteace/townace models have also been available with Daihatsu Delta badging in Japan. Originally sold as the Delta 750 based on the liteace truck, later versions have been badged Delta Wide and based on the townace van. For the final Delta retailed between 1996 and 2001, the "Wide" suffix disappeared. The liteace followed the introduction of the more compact miniace and larger hiace in 1967, acting as an intermediacy between these two models in size and carrying capacity. By the mid-1970s, the miniace had been retired and the hiace had grown, thus creating a void in the market resumed by the townace. The "Ace" moniker references the Toyota toyoace medium-duty truck sold starting 1956. The "Lite" in liteace refers to its light-duty capability, and the "Town" in townace alludes to the suitability of the model for urban areas. Toyota townace is also called as Daihatsu Delta 750, Daihatsu Delta Wide (B10), Toyota masterace Surf, Toyota Model F (Europe),Toyota Space Cruiser (UK),Toyota Tarago (Australia),Toyota Van (North America),Daihatsu Delta Wide (B20), Toyota Spacia (Australia),Daihatsu Delta Van, Toyota liteace/townace, Mazda Bongo (Japan, 2020–present).
