New Toyota Proace Van
Following the Geneva Motor Show reveal
of the passenger Verso MPV version, Toyota shows us the new Proace Van. And
just like the passenger versions, the Proace Van is the sister car to the
Citroen Jumpy and Peugeot Expert commercial vans.
Toyota’s new LCV offers customers a much
wider range of options, with two trim levels, three body sizes and two
wheelbase lengths to cover every need.
The new Proace Van Compact measures 4.6m
long, featuring a 2.9m wheelbase, and thus being a unique offering with its
smart packaging and the smallest length in its class. The turning circle is
just 11.3 meters. The Compact version offers the cargo capacity of a physically
larger vehicle in a smaller footprint, with 4.6 cubic meters of total cargo
volume.
Toyota’s new Compact van will also be
offered in 9-seat Combi, Crew Cab and Platform Cab configurations as well as
Panel, Semi-glazed or Glazed VAN variants. Available powertrains will include
five diesel engines between 95 and 180 PS and manual, robotized manual and
automatic gearboxes, offering the best-in-class CO2 emission levels.
The Medium body measures 4.9m long with
a 3.2m wheelbase, offering a cargo volume between 5.3 to 5.8 cubic meters. The
Long version retains the same wheelbase but features an extended rear overhang
for a total length of 5.3 meters. Cargo volume for the biggest variant is rated
at 6.1 cubic meters, which can be extended with the company’s Smart Cargo
system to 6.6 cubic meters.
The latter is available to all body
lengths and maximizes the cargo capacity, while every model has a maximum
payload capacity of up to 1400 kg, and a towing capacity of up to 2500 kg.
