This Is How Much The New Toyota Coaster Is Selling For In South Africa. The South African transport network will welcome the arrival of the new Toyota Coaster people mover which will serve to fill the gap between the 16-seater Quantum LWB and the Hino-300 bus. Millions of South Africans depend on taxis for the daily commute to and from work and the new Coaster is perfectly suited for this important transport role. Toyota’s Quantum taxi is the most common taxi on South Africa’s roads.

Some key features include a tilt/scope adjustable steering wheel, multi-information display, Toyota audio system (Toyota Connect with 15GB), 12V socket and USB and auxiliary ports. Safety features include dual front airbags and ABS with EBD. The interior is finished in a durable PVC finish for the floor and seat trim while the steering wheel and gear lever are finished in Urethane. The Coaster is exclusively offered in White with regulatory mini-bus stickers and chevron markings. A Hino-sourced 4.0-litre turbodiesel engine provides 100 kW and 353 Nm of torque and makes use of a 5-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels.

The Toyota Coaster is a minibus produced by Toyota Motor Corporation. It was introduced in 1969, with the second generation introduced in 1982, followed by the third generation in 1993. The third generation Coaster received a facelift in 2001 and again in 2007. The fourth generation Toyota Coaster was unveiled on 22 December 2016 and was made available for purchase in Japan on 23 January 2017. It is available with the same engine choices as the outgoing model. The Coaster was the first vehicle to undergo a full redesign under Toyota’s newly incorporated Commercial Vehicle (CV) company responsible for the design and development of commercial vehicles.

The Toyota Coaster 4.0D 5MT LWB has a South African price of R899, 900. Each model is sold with a 6-services/60,000km service plan – with service intervals set at 10,000km. A 3-year/100,00km warranty is also included as standard. This seating set-up consists of six single-file seats on the passenger side, six double-seats on the driver side, and a four-seater bench in the rear.
