The Daihatsu Hijet S85 is a light commercial vehicle, specifically a kei truck, that was produced by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu from 1998 to 2010. It was part of the fourth generation of the Hijet model line and was offered in a variety of configurations, including a standard pickup truck, a van, and a cab-over truck. The S85 utilized a 1.3-liter, naturally aspirated, four-cylinder petrol engine (code-named EF-VE), producing around 63 horsepower. This engine was paired with both five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmissions, offering drivers a range of options for both fuel efficiency and performance. The Hijet S85 was known for its small size and maneuverability, making it ideal for navigating tight city streets and urban environments. It was also praised for its durability and reliability, making it a popular choice for businesses across Japan. Despite its compact size, the S85 was surprisingly capable, with a payload rating of 350 kg (772 lbs) for the pickup truck variant. It was used for a variety of purposes, including deliveries, construction, and agriculture. It even found popularity as a recreational vehicle, offering a platform for customizing into camping and off-road vehicles. The Hijet S85 remains a popular choice in Japan, even after its production run ended. Its reputation for affordability, practicality, and ease of maintenance has ensured its continued presence on the roads.
