Toyota Hiace 1992 vs Toyota 4-Runner 1995
| Body: | Minivan / MPV | Crossover / SUV | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crossovers and SUVs have better off-road capabilities (higher ground clearance, can have 4x4 drive), they are preferable for driving on unpaved roads and rural areas. Also, the driver's seating position is higher in a crossover or SUVs, which provides better visibility also in city. This usually comes at the cost of higher fuel consumption, increased weight and higher maintenance costs. | |||
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
| Engine: | 2.4 Diesel | 2.7 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Toyota Hiace) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota 4-Runner) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||

Toyota 4-Runner 1995: Only two wheels (one axis) are powered permanently. All wheel drive is switched on manually and can be used only on soft terrains (cannot be used on pavement). Does not have a center differential. The transfer case can have two modes, which makes it possible to use the low speed range in tough conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 390'000 km | 700'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Toyota 4-Runner engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 6 years | 10 years | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota 4-Runner might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
