When it comes to compact efficiency, the Daihatsu Hijet shines. But how comfortably can you fit inside one? Standard Kei Trucks (MiniTrucks) are tailored for the Japanese market, typically accommodating smaller statures compared to those in the UK. However, the standard cab Hijet offers a surprising amount of space, and for those who require more room, there’s the XL cab option. Here’s a comparison of the Standard and XL cabs to help you gauge whether a Kei truck suits your needs.
Daihatsu Hijet Dimensions: Compact with a Choice
- Standard Cab:
- Cab Space: Ideal for individuals up to 6 feet, optimised for practical use, it provides just the right balance of legroom and headroom for comfort without feeling cramped.
- XL Cab:
- Extended Space: Best for those up to 6 feet 4 inches, especially broader builds. The XL cab offers additional headroom and legroom thanks to its slightly larger cabin design, ensuring taller drivers can stretch out comfortably.
Enhancing Your Hijet’s Comfort Consider these custom tweaks to make your Hijet even more accommodating:
- Adjustable Seats: Replace the standard seats with adjustable or slimmer ones to gain extra space.
- Compact Steering Wheel: A smaller wheel not only provides more leg space but also facilitates easier handling.
Try Before You Buy The best way to determine which Hijet model fits you? Take a test drive! Here’s what to check:
- Ease of Entry/Exit: Can you get in and out without any trouble? There’s a technique to this due to the wheel arch placement, so practice this a few times.
- Seat Comfort: Are you sitting comfortably, or do you find yourself needing more space?
- Visibility and Handling: Do you have a clear view and control of the vehicle?
