New customers will have 10 versions of Toyota’s new Proace van to choose from when the new model goes on sale in July, covering key customer preferences in terms of load capacity, payload and performance.
The choice of nine panel vans takes in two vehicle lengths and heights, payloads of one or 1.2 tonnes, and three diesel engines. In addition there is a Proace crew cab van, seating up to six.

Proace offers a choice of three efficient, Euro 5-compliant diesel engines. The 89bhp 1.6-litre engine produces 180Nm of torque and is matched to a five-speed manual transmission.
Two 2.0-litre diesel units are available, with outputs of 126 and 161bhp and peak torque figures of 320 and 340Nm respectively. Both of these engines come with a six-speed manual transmission.
An 80-litre fuel tank capacity and combined cycle fuel consumption figures of 44.1mpg give the 2.0-litre versions of ProAce a theoretical driving range of more than 770 miles before refuelling.
Single equipment grade
The choice is simple when it comes to equipment: Proace comes in single grade that doesn’t stint on comfort, convenience, or practicality.
On the outside the standard design provides sliding doors on each side, 16-inch alloy wheels with wheel caps, fog lamps, daytime running lights and heated electric door mirrors. Customers can specify plain or glazed double steel rear doors. Where fitted, the rear windows are heated and have a wash-wipe system.
The cabin environment can be kept comfortable with air conditioning. Other features include Bluetooth, electric windows, and the choice of a single front passenger seat or two-person bench.
Where safety is concerned, all Proace come with driver and front passenger airbags, ABS and Vehicle Stability Control.
Further choices can be made when it comes to the bulkhead between cabin and loadspace. A ladder-type bulkhead is fitted as standard, with a steel ladder bulkhead featured in the crew van. A steel bulkhead with or without a glazed window section can be specified as an option on the panel van.
