What a Hi-Jet Twincam 12V EFI 4WD is

Daihatsu is Toyota's small-vehicle specialist and the Hijet is the product it has spent longest refining — sixty-plus years of iteration on a single idea, and it shows in how resolved the details are. Daihatsu supplies the Hijet to other makers for rebadging — Toyota since 2011, Subaru since 2012 — and it was licence-built abroad as the Piaggio Porter in Italy and the Asia Towner in Korea. The Hijet has been in continuous production since November 1960, which makes it the oldest surviving kei nameplate — and in 2021 it took a Good Design Long Life Design Award, a first for Daihatsu.

Where a Hi-Jet Twincam 12V EFI 4WD earns its keep

A 1997 Hi-Jet Twincam 12V EFI 4WD is old enough to be simple and new enough to be usable, which is most of why this generation gets exported rather than scrapped. What you see is what we have: a White Hi-Jet Twincam 12V EFI 4WD on our lot, not a listing for a vehicle still in an auction hall.
