The Toyota Coaster has also been considered as the answer to the high demand for a strong “working vehicle” that can accommodate more than 20 passengers and function efficiently for various industries like construction, tourism, and mining, among others.

Since its introduction in 1963 as the “Light Bus,” this vehicle has become an all-time favorite. In 1969, it was also rechristened as the more familiar "Coaster."

The Toyota Coaster features a robust exterior along with a sleek finish, which can be seen through its ringed body frame that unites the floor frame, sides, and roof sections. Its character lines separate the side of the vehicle into the upper and lower sections.

The underbody highlights the area surrounding the wheels. It also unveils a durable body that offers a strong reinforcement for the cabin.

Furthermore, the high roof attains a simple but eye-catching contemporary design.

Inside, the Coaster is equipped with expansive legroom and ergonomic seats for utmost comfort and convenience of all passengers. Performance is not compromised because of its world-class engine which enables the Coaster to stay on track and maintain its reliability wherever and whenever.
