The third-generation Hiace was released in December 1982. Only the 1-box models (wagon, van, commuter) were remodeled at the time, however, and the second-generation trucks remained in production. As the Hiace wagon was gaining a reputation as a luxury multi-purpose vehicle (called RV or recreational vehicle in Japan at the time), the wagon improved the interior spaciousness and ride comfort, offering the top-end Super Custom Sunroof/Moonroof grade and employing a 4-link coil spring rear suspension.

Newly developed 1.8-liter 2Y and 2-liter 3Y LASRE gasoline engines were introduced, as well as the Type L diesel unit (and the 2L at a later date). A 4-speed automatic transmission was also made available for gasoline-engine models to answer demand for multi-purpose vehicles. In a minor makeover in August 1985, the top-end Super Custom Limited model was added to the 7-seater wagon, and 4-wheel-drive models were made available for vans and selected wagons. The Hiace truck came to share the platform with the Dyna in August 1985, becoming a completely separate line from the 1-box models.
