Well built and competent sums up the Proace…
Business Vans verdict
The Proace is well built and competent with a great power unit, super-slick gearbox and easy access to a decent loadspace.
It’s doesn’t have the plushest or quietest cab in the world, but it offers a good driving position and decent equipment levels with aircon, Bluetooth connectivity and electrically operated windows as standard fittings.
Add the five-year/100,000-mile warranty to the package and the Proace is well worth a look.
…and 2 side doors is always a plus when it comes to loading and unloading

Well done for revealing this van for what it really is – a Citroen. Many honest tradespeople will buy this van thinking it is a Toyota.It’s time this engine and badge cover up was exposed in full.
