Toyota Probox, a van that’s allegedly been available in Japan since 2002 will be getting a new version called GX on January, 6.
Apparently, the van occupies the
‘semi-commercial’ niche of the market, starting from the equivalent of US$ 13,000. A look inside the cabin takes you back to the 1980s. The dashboard is
basically one big odometer with a small digital display underneath. The front
panel is rather simplistic: there is a phone holder next to the steering wheel,
but no infotainment in the modern sense of the word. There is, however, a roomy
glove compartment and many other storage opportunities.
The Probox GX is coming to the market with
a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 94 PS, a 1.5-liter
mill capable of 107 PS, and a hybrid powertrain with so far
undisclosed specifications.
