Design controversies
The exterior styling and dimensions of the Higer H5C is controversial as the exterior design of the H5C heavily resembles the fifth generation Toyota HiAce. Despite the licensing and cooperation between Toyota and multiple Chinese auto manufacturers on producing licensed and rebadged HiAce vans, Higer has never worked with Toyota for the development and production of the H5C, making the Higer H5C an unlicensed copy of the Toyota van.
