TOYOTA’s new mid-sized Proace van goes on sale on 1 July with a 10-strong model line up. There’s a choice of three engines, payloads up to 1200kg and load volumes up to 7cu m.
There’s a single spec across the model range, and prices start from £22,300.
With nine panel vans in two different lengths and heights, plus a six-seater crew cab option, most trades and SME van operators’ needs should be met:
- The L1 (standard wheelbase) models have an overall length of 4805mm, with a 3000mm wheelbase. L2 versions are 5135mm long with a 3122mm wheelbase.
- The H1 (standard height) version is 1942mm tall, with 2276mm available on the L2 wheelbase variant. Total load space is 5cu m in in the L1H1 version, 6cu m in the L2H1, and 7cu m in the L2H2.
- The Crew Cab version is available in a single configuration (L2H1), powered by a 128PS 2.0-litre diesel engine.
Three Euro 5-compliant diesel engines are available for the panel vans. The smallest, a 90PS 1.6-litre unit, produces 180Nm of torque and is mated with a five-speed manual box.
And there are two 2.0-litre diesels, with outputs of 128PS and 163PS and peak torque of 320Nm and 340Nm. Both go with a six-speed manual box.
The 2.0-litre versions have an official fuel consumption of 44.1mpg so with an 80-litre fuel tank, the Proace could do over 770 miles.
The Proace is well equipped too:
- All versions get air conditioning, electric windows and door mirrors, Bluetooth and either a single front passenger seat or two-seat bench.
- All Proace vans have ABS, Vehicle Stability Control and driver and front passenger airbags.
- Sliding doors on both sides, fog lamps, daytime running lights, 16-inch alloys, plain or glazed rear doors (with demister and wash-wipe if glazed).
