I think saying the Euro vans are too highly priced shows some ignorance on the parties using this line. My nephew was about to buy a Toyota Hiace because the Toyota dealer told him it was cheaper than the VW equivalent. I asked that he check the prices for himself and he was astonished to find the VW around $2000 less on the road. The Toyota man was saying the Hiace “LWB” compared directly with the VW LWB – they don’t. Once this was sorted and some extras added to the Toyota to bring it into line with the VW the prices started to turn. Suffice to say, compare apples with apples – not with lemons!
As to the reliability stakes – I have stated before I have owned several VW Transporters, the last being the T4 which had travelled over 200,000K trouble free – 40 odd thousand of this towing a 1.3 tonne caravan (with an overall average fuel consumption, for the 200,000K of around 11.5L/100K)

Shame Toyoyta shame.

Top price for the dangerous Hiace.Look no legs!!!

Express with one star should be banned from sale. No ifs or buts.

toyota had a pretty safe SBV van call the Townace before

they moved to the unsafer cab over engine van to maintain high prices yet have low production costs

most businesses will not use the Euro vans because they are just too expensive all round

Wait i thought the title said they scored the top rating. But still awesome result for this class of vehicle. Hope Hyundai keep acheiving these sorts of results.

I must say what a misleading headline……

Firstly how does one “Win” their crash rating????
How many packets of cornflakes do you have to buy before you win 4 stars????

Secondly how can a score of 4 out of 5 be titled a top score?????

I was initially thinking what an effort as I hastly clicked this post to read more.

Commercial vehicles unsafe????
well yes thats true for most, but our aussie made commercials have been offering safety inline with the sedan versions for years.
Aussies are meant to be the ones behind the times, but a 10 year old falcon ute would out score its 2009 competition

I’d be grateful for the Express van’s cheapness and reliability right up to the moment I die in one, Baddass.

Reckless1, open your eyes dimwit. The vans you mentioned with good safety ratings are in most cases much more expensive (and unreliable) than their Japanese and Korean counterparts. And by assuming that all vans are safe because your European examples are is very-narrow minded: the Mitsubishi Express has been in the top five for sales for many years but has only a one star safety rating. But people still buy it because it is cheap and reliable, which is more than they can say for the Euros.

That’s nice to know that Hyundai is finally taking extra attention on ANCAP rating. It’s also good to know that vans are that safe.

Hyundai vans looks good on these pics.
