| Toyota Kijang is a family car designed by Toyota Astra Indonesia.Kijang means deer in Indonesia.Sold as Toyota Unser in Malaysia,Toyota Zace in Taiwan,Toyota revo in Phillipines,and Condor in Africa.In Indonesia, typically the whole extended family climbs in before even short trips, just for the adventure, as opposed to true car-pooling. The family Kijang is treated with love and many get professionally detailed every month. Depending on a person's size, the vehicle can carry as many as 9-15 passengers, since many of the countries the Kijang is sold in do not require safety belt usage at that time. | | #REDIRECT [[Toyota Kijang]] |

| ==Origin==
| |
| | |
| Toyota Kijang used to be a commercial pickup created in Indonesia.The prototype of the first generation was displayed at 1975 Jakarta Fair, and production began in 1977. The first Kijang is a boxy little pick-up truck powered by 1.2 liter 3K engine matched to 4 speed manual transmission. The pick-up with rear body and roof was also produced. The Kijang Minibus was built by a local company.

| ==Third Generation==
| |
| | |
| Introduced in late 1986, the Kijang was offered as short wheelbase (KF-40-series) and long wheelbase (KF-50-series). The Standard Kijang has 4 speed manual transmission, and the Super Kijang has 5 speed manual and a better equipped interior. Introduced in this generation was Full Pressed Body Minibus built by companies appointed by Toyota. It was derived from the 1984 Hilux.
| |
| Minor change was given in 1992. The Minibus now has right side rear door and adopted a new name Toyota Original Body instead of Full Pressed Body. In its creation process, it was pressed and uses pointed welding. Until this day, it could be said as the only "putty-free" Kijang. Trim levels for Minibus are Standard, Deluxe, and Grand Extra. The new grille and 1.8 liter 7K-C engine were new in 1994 with 6 chassis trims, grouped in 2: Short and Long. Trims for short ones are: SX, SSX, SGX, and for the long ones are: LX, LSX, and LGX.

| This car was sold in India under the name of Qualis. The Qualis was based on the third generation model, but came with the newer fourth generation nose.

| A version was built and sold in South Africa as the Toyota Stallion.

| ==Second Generation==
| |

| The 20-series Kijang retained its boxy style although the body panels are different. Under its slimmer hood was a 1.3 liter 4K engine, which was replaced in 1986 by a 1.5 liter one.

| | |
| First displayed on the 9th of June 1977. It was a boxy pickup truck with a half door, the window was made only from plastic and tarp canvas. The door hinge can be seen from the outside. The KF10 generation was using a 3K engine (like the ones fitted in the Corolla). It uses a 4 speed manual transmission.
| |
| This first generation Kijang was famous for being called "Kijang Buaya" (English: Crocodile Kijang) because the engine hood can be opened to the side of the car. This car sold 26,806 units until the 2nd generation Kijang was introduced.
