In Brief

Japanese manufacturer Car Interior Takahashi unveiled the AZUSA model based on the Toyota HiAce. The camper features a wall-mounted air conditioner instead of a roof unit, enabling entry into multi-story parking lots, and a projector for watching matches on a large screen.

Car Interior Takahashi (Nagano Prefecture) has introduced the new AZUSA camper model built on the Toyota HiAce with a wide body and mid-roof.

Key features

  • Air conditioning: a wall-mounted split system replaces the traditional roof AC, reducing overall height and allowing access to multi-story parking garages.
  • Entertainment: the cabin includes a projector for watching matches (including football) on a large screen.
  • Interior: the ceiling is finished with wooden panels, and a 100-volt lighting rail is installed to create a home theater atmosphere.
  • Power supply: flexible solar panels are mounted on the roof.

The model is designed for daily use and incorporates elements from the brand's previous designs.
