Toyota Lite Ace 2024 Price Philippines & Official Promos

On the outside, the Philippine-spec Lite Ace assumes a simple box-like design equipped with 14-inch steel wheels, halogen headlamps and halogen taillights. Its front end looks similar to the original Lite Ace as it also comes with a slanting wedge shape. 

The pickup truck in particular features a flat bed with dropside capability. The panel van meanwhile has power side and rear doors.  

• Headlights Halogen Wheel Size 14 inches

As a simple logistics-focused ride, the Lite Ace gets a simple front cabin. Its dash is mostly made of durable plastic, though it has some niceties like cupholders and ample elbowroom. It also has manual air-conditioning, as well as manually-adjustable PVC-clad seats. 

• Seat Material PVC Seat Adjustment Manual
• Air-Conditioning Type Manual

For safety, the Lite Ace comes standard with dual front airbags and antilock braking. Both trims also come with seat belts and a steering lock. Only the panel van though, gets stability control.  

The all-new Lite Ace falls under the S-series of models just like the Japanese-spec S400 series Lite Ace and Town Ace. Like the model sold in other markets, it also assumes a semi-cab-over-engine body.  

For suspensions, the Panel van gets a Macpherson strut for the front, and a five-link type for the rear. The pickup truck version meanwhile, uses leaf springs for the rear. 

Powering the 2023 Toyota Lite Ace is a 1.5-liter inline-4 engine. This is the same 2NR-VE that the Avanza and Veloz uses, though it was detuned to produce up to 94 horsepower and 134 Nm of torque.  

All trims of the new Lite Ace are rear-wheel-drive, and they all use a five-speed manual gearbox.
