Looking for a spacious, no-nonsense people mover that can handle big groups and tough Philippine roads? The Joylong Hivan 12-Seater (2015) delivers exactly that—a body-on-frame van built to carry up to 12 passengers with confidence. Under the hood, a 2.5-liter turbo-diesel inline-4 engine churns out 115 PS at 3800 rpm and a strong 260 Nm of torque from just 1800 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels. This powertrain makes the Joylong Hivan 12-Seater (2015) a capable workhorse for long trips or daily shuttle duties.
Key Highlights
Massive 12-seat capacity with a 2+2+2+2+4 layout, ideal for families, group transport, or fleet use.
Turbo-diesel torque (260 Nm at 1800-2600 rpm) provides strong low-end pulling power for loaded driving.
Body-on-frame construction offers durability and easier repairs, a favorite for Philippine road conditions.
16-inch alloy wheels with 205/75 R16 tires, plus front disc and rear drum brakes with ABS and EBD for confident stopping.
Manual air conditioning, power windows, central locking with keyless entry, and a 6-speaker audio system with CD/MP3/AUX.
Halogen headlights and fog lights improve visibility in poor weather or low-light driving.
While it skips modern driver aids like airbags or stability control, the Joylong Hivan 12-Seater (2015) focuses on what matters: space, torque, and simplicity. Its 70-liter fuel tank and leaf-spring rear suspension are built for heavy loads and long drives.
