The Daihatsu Gran Max (Japanese: ダイハツ・グランマックス, Daihatsu Guranmakkusu) is a series of light commercial vehicles (vans and pickup trucks) produced and sold by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu since November 2007.[3] It is based on the tenth-generation Hijet in a "semi-cab" configuration (front wheels located forward of the door). It is powered by 1,298 cc (K3-DE EFI), 1,495 cc (3SZ-VE VVT-i) and 1,496 cc (2NR-VE Dual VVT-i, since 2020) petrol engines and is both wider and longer than the kei car-based Hijet. It replaced the previous Indonesian-market Zebra of similar size. It is also replaced the Perodua Rusa in Malaysia.[4]

Chronology
Predecessor

Since February 2008, the Gran Max has been exported to Japan where it was firstly sold as the Toyota TownAce/LiteAce. With the facelifted model released in 2020, the LiteAce model has been discontinued due to integration of Japanese Toyota dealers and the Gran Max indirectly fills its position, marked the Gran Max as the first foreign-import product in the Japanese Daihatsu lineup.[5][6][7] It is also exported under Mazda brand as the Bongo, which replaces the previous Mazda-built models.
