Japanese builder Toy-Factory has announced a full redesign of its DA VINCI 5.4 camper van — and at first glance, the vehicle looks unchanged. Look closer, though, and almost everything that matters has been reworked. The public debut and sales launch took place on July 11–12 at the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2026. The price is ¥15,840,000 including tax.
The base is a right-hand-drive, front-wheel-drive Fiat Ducato L2H2. Its 2.2-liter turbodiesel produces 180 hp and 450 Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle measures 5,410 mm long, 2,100 mm wide and 2,525 mm tall. That last figure, incidentally, doesn’t match the 2,620 mm cited in the original release.
Calling the DA VINCI a two-seater would be a stretch: the documentation lists four seating positions and two sleeping berths. Two permanent beds sit in the rear, and after the redesign each one grew by 100 mm: the upper berth is now 1,930 x 1,180 mm, the lower one 1,810 x 1,055 mm.
The standard price already includes a 70-liter fridge, a microwave, a standalone heater, a waterless toilet, a 1,500 W inverter and two 95 Ah lead-acid batteries. A household air conditioner, lithium batteries, a boiler and a shower remain optional extras — so a well-equipped example will run noticeably above that ¥15.84 million base.
Comparing the DA VINCI to the Toyota HiAce only works loosely. The two are close in length, but the DA VINCI is noticeably wider than a standard Japanese van and is sold from the outset as a finished camper with a full living module, not a shell for conversion. It can be considered a direct HiAce rival only among expensive motorhomes — not in the ordinary commercial-van market.
