Daihatsu Hijet Cargo Manual (Ice Green)#BUC23457

2025 Daihatsu Hijet Cargo, finished in Ice Green, came to us straight out of the Japanese domestic market.

Powertrain on this Hijet Cargo

This Hijet Cargo carries the KF: a fuel-injected 660cc 3-cylinder engine. A 2025 Daihatsu on the KF is running the company's current-generation kei engine rather than a legacy design. Behind the Ice Green bodywork sits a 5-speed manual gearbox.

The 2025 Hijet in context

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. 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. Daihatsu sold the Hijet in an unusually wide spread of factory body styles — flatbed, PTO dump, panel van, canvas top, the extended-cab Jumbo from 1983 and the four-seat Deck Van from 1988 — because Japanese buyers specified them for particular trades.

Import and ownership — 2025 Daihatsu Hijet Cargo

Four-wheel drive in a van body is an unusual combination outside Japan, and it is the reason these get used well past the end of the pavement. As a 2025 vehicle this sits inside the 25-year window rather than outside it, so talk to us about how that applies where you are before committing. Price on this one is $27,000.
