Toyota Hiace Gen6 Campervan NZ
At the heart of the BANZ GRANDE is the latest-generation Toyota Hiace Gen6, with a powerful 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. The Hiace platform gives you a great balance between comfort, practicality and manoeuvrability. At 5.90m long and 1.98m wide, the GRANDE is compact enough to feel manageable on New Zealand roads while still providing a spacious living area for two. The 5-star safety rating, reversing camera, parking sensors, air conditioning in the cab, central locking and modern infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make the GRANDE a comfortable choice for exploring Aotearoa. For international visitors who may be unfamiliar with New Zealand roads, a Toyota Hiace campervan also offers a familiar, car-like driving experience without the size of a large motorhome.

The Ideal 2-Berth Campervan for Couples
Looking for a small campervan that couples travelling in NZ can easily drive and live in? The BANZ GRANDE is designed specifically for two adults. The interior provides a comfortable 2.03m standing height, a full walk-through between the driver’s cabin and living area, a rotating passenger seat and generous storage throughout the campervan. At night, you can choose between two single beds measuring 1960mm x 670mm or create one large queen-size bed measuring 1960mm x 1770mm. This gives you the flexibility to sleep separately when you want, or enjoy a large double bed when you prefer. For couples who want to cover a lot of New Zealand without driving a large motorhome, the GRANDE offers an excellent balance of size, comfort and practicality.
Winter Campervan NZ – Ready for Year-Round Travel
Planning a New Zealand road trip outside the summer season? The BANZ GRANDE is a winter campervan NZ travellers can use throughout the year. New Zealand weather can change quickly, particularly in the South Island and alpine areas. A warm campervan makes a big difference when temperatures fall or you return to the vehicle after a day outdoors. The GRANDE has a built-in diesel heater, thermal-backed curtains and a roof vent with a night blind and fly screen. Whether you’re travelling through the South Island in winter, exploring Central Otago, visiting the mountains or taking a shoulder-season road trip, the GRANDE is equipped to keep you comfortable when the temperature drops.
Campervan with Diesel Heater NZ
The BANZ GRANDE is a campervan with diesel heater NZ travellers can use for comfortable year-round adventures. Unlike a simple electric fan heater that requires a powered campsite, the diesel heating system is designed specifically for campervan travel. This means you can warm the living area when you’re staying away from powered sites, making the GRANDE particularly useful for winter and shoulder-season travel. For couples planning to explore New Zealand’s colder regions, a diesel heater is one of those features you appreciate most when the weather turns.
Easy to Drive Around New Zealand
One of the biggest advantages of choosing a compact campervan is how much easier it can feel on the road. The GRANDE is built on the Toyota Hiace Gen6 rather than a large motorhome chassis.
That makes it easier to:
- Navigate New Zealand’s winding roads
- Park in towns
- Visit supermarkets
- Stop at scenic viewpoints
- Manoeuvre around campsites
- Explore smaller towns
- Drive through busy urban areas
The 6-speed automatic transmission also makes everyday driving simple. For international travellers adjusting to driving on the left-hand side of the road, a compact Toyota Hiace can be a particularly approachable campervan choice.
