With the aim to strengthen its support to Filipino micro small and medium enterprises (MSME), Toyota Motor Philippines added two more Lite Ace variants, its newest light commercial vehicle in the local market.

After recently unveiling the panel van and pickup variants during last month's launch, the Lite Ace line up, dubbed as: "Kasosyo sa Asenso" is expanding with the introduction of the Lite Ace FX utility van and cargo aluminum van, both of which are already available for preorder in all its dealerships nationwide.

The FX utility van variant has up to a 12-person seating capacity (including the driver), perfect as a people transport, while the cargo aluminum van variant best fits agricultural businesses or transportation of dry goods and other materials.

"We are very encouraged by the warm reception and positive product feedback that we received from customers when we released the first two variants of the all-new Lite Ace," said Sherwin Chualim, TMP's first vice president for vehicle sales operations.

"One of the key strengths of the all-new Lite Ace line is its versatility and flexibility, and with the availability of the FX utility van and cargo aluminum variants, we will be able to address the needs of more entrepreneurs and business operators for efficient and economical transport."

High-quality safety features are provided like SRS airbags to provide owners of peace of mind. On top of this, both variants come with a 1.5L gasoline and are powered by five-speed manual transmission, common among all its variants.

Customers can also avail of special MSME financing packages for these two variants through Toyota Financial Services Philippines. FX utility van retails at P727,000, while the cargo aluminum van is priced at P699,000.
