The new Toyota Proace: A complete new range of light commercial vehicles and people carriers
THE new Toyota PROACE presents a very complete offering ranging from the Panel Van version to the VIP shuttle of the people carrier. The PROACE adds an unprecedented Compact version that with a 4.6 m length, has the footprint of a Compact Duty Van (CDV) while the Verso range is able to accommodate up to 9 passengers while the panel van can transport load of 4.6 to 6.1 cubic metres. Design and Packaging
Its striking Under Priority frontal design language identifying it as the latest addition to the Toyota family, the new PROACE is available in a choice of three body sizes - Compact, Medium and Long.4.6 m long and with a 2.9 m wheelbase, the Compact version offers a remarkable size/roominess ratio. Despite still offering a 9-seat cabin capacity or a 4.6 to 5.1 cubic metres load compartment volume, its turning circle of only 11.3 metres makes it easy to manoeuvre and park in built-up areas.
The Medium version is 4.9 m long with a 3.2 m wheelbase. The Long version has the same 3.2 m wheelbase but features an extended rear overhang for greater cargo capacity, increasing overall length to 5.3 m. All variants are 2.2 m wide and 1.9 m high. Powertrains
The new PROACE range is available with a range of five powertrains featuring 1.6 and 2.0 litre diesel engines offering a choice of power outputs and transmissions. The entire range benefits from CO2 emissions reductions over outgoing models, and now targets best-in-class CO2 emissions in the Medium Duty Van (MDV) segment.
A 70 kW/95 DIN hp variant of the 1.6 litre engine may be mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission (210 Nm torque) or a 6-speed robotised manual transmission (240 Nm torque). The former generates CO2 emissions of 144 to 148 g/km and fuel consumption of 5.5 to 5.6 l/100 km, whilst, the latter just 135 to 139 g/km and fuel consumption of 5.2 to 5.4 l/100 km.
Delivering 300 Nm of torque, a more powerful, 85 kW/115 DIN hp version of the 1.6 litre unit is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. It generates CO2 emissions of 133-137 g/km CO2 and fuel consumption of 5.1 to 5.2 l/100 km.
Recommended for increased payloads thanks to their high torque of 340 Nm and 370 Nm respectively, both the 90 kW/122 DIN hp and 110 kW/150 DIN hp variants of the 2.0 litre turbodiesel are mated to 6-speed manual transmissions. They generate 139-143 g/km of CO2 and fuel consumption of 5.3 to 5.5 l/100 km.
All powertrains are Euro 6 compliant and are equipped with selective catalytic reduction to lower the amount of NOx released into the atmosphere. A 22.5 litre tank of AdBlue ensures the optimal functioning of the system for 15,000 km. The tank can be easily refilled via a filling flap on the B-pillar, accessible behind a cover with the driver’s door open.
A standard maintenance interval of 40,000 km - two years variable contributes to a low cost of ownership. Proace Van A Wider Model Range to Meet All LCV Needs • Available in two grades with a choice of three body sizes and
