Awesome
In China, Jinbei 金杯 offers a number of options under the “Hiase” name, which are clones of 4th gen Toyota Hiace.
Apparently better in quality of manufacture compared to other locally available Hiace clones e.g. Hamza Roadster and Panorama van, why does not Jinbei offer the Hiase here?
Probably they still want to test Pakistani Market. They may offer Hiase as well if these two become successful..!
Price of Vehicles are very high in Pakistan, it is good for everyone to have new entrants in the market.
Can someone provide a little more details about the 1.3L variant. It is mentioned for the later that it has dual AC but nothing about the 1.3? Also any information on the transmission only manual or Auto as well?
Finally some good news for the automobile industry in Pakistan
I am interested in buying it. What is the address and number, I need to contact?
