Profia

In 2003 it was renamed as Hino Profia and still produced in Japan without Super Dolphin badge. The cabin design is similar to the fourth generation Ranger, but the Profia is bigger. It is based on the Grand Aerotech Design technology resulting outstanding aerodynamic performance. The cabin also adopts upgraded Emergency Guard Impact Safety (EGIS) to protect occupants. The Hino 700 is also available in Taiwan and made by Kuozui Motors, and is being assembled for other locations.

The model features 10.5-liter P11C, and 12.9-liter E13C diesel engines. Transmission is either 7, 12, or 16 speed manual. The Pro Shift 12 automated manual transmission is offered for the domestic market.

The 700 are sold in Australia and New Zealand with Eaton Fuller RoadRanger Super18 transmissions, as this is the most common heavy-duty transmission in use Down Under.

In April 2017, this facelifted version was revealed along with the facelifted Ranger. It incorporates new generation trapezoidal shape grill, a bigger high roof, LED headlights, a revised dashboard, a new 4-spoke steering wheel (replacing an original 2-spoke version), a configurable instrument cluster and a premium interior. The 10.5-liter P11C engine was discontinued in favor of an improved 8.9-liter A09C engine. Transmissions should continue to with manual (6-speed, 7-speed and 9-speed) and Pro Shift semi automatic (12-speed).
