The Townace was placed on the market in October 1976 as an intermediate model between the Liteace and the Hiace. Initially, the Townace consisted of two lines: vans accommodating 3 or 6 passengers (with a 1,200 cc 64 PS engine and a 1,600 cc 93 PS engine, respectively) and an 8-seater wagon (with a 1,600 cc 85 PS engine). Trucks were added to the lineup in October 1978, including low-deck, high-deck, and "just low" models. The wagon featured 3-row seating with second- and third-row seats that could be laid fully flat, and the third-row seats could be folded to expand the luggage space. Initially, the inline 4-cylinder engine located directly under the front seats had a displacement of either 1,200 cc or 1,600 cc.

The 1,200 cc engine was replaced with a 1,300 cc 69 PS engine in February 1978. In October that year, the wagon version enhanced its engine to one with 1,800 cc and 92 PS, and high-roof models with heights of 1,975 mm and 1,990 mm were newly added. In December 2008, the wagon substantially expanded its variety and optional equipment, adding 3-speed automatic and 5-speed manual transmission models with sliding second-row seats that could be made to face either forward or backward, and the Grand Extra model with its lavish interior comparable to a luxury sedan. The model expansion reflected the rapid rise in demand for 1-box wagons. In February 1982, a camper package called the Canyon was added to the line, featuring a sunroof/moonroof, bunk beds, powered curtains, and bronze-tinted glass.
