Set to make its world debut at next month's Commercial Vehicle Show, the line-up includes the first Proace Van Compact, creating a new proposition in the market by providing the cargo capacity of a medium-size van within the footprint of a compact van (CDV). A combi version seating up to nine and a platform cab ready for conversions will also be available.
Five diesel engines with power outputs from 94 to 178hp and a choice of manual, robotised manual and automatic transmissions will be offered from launch.
Specification highlights include optional power sliding side doors, three front seats (including Compact) and a new Smart Cargo system that features an opening bulkhead and lifting front passenger seat base to increase load length capacity by 1.16m and overall load volume by an extra half a cubic metre.
Safety standards have been further increased. Proace Van has a top five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating and will be offered with the option of two Toyota Safety Sense packages providing a choice of active safety and driver assistance features.
UK order books will open in late April, ahead of the official start of sales in September. Pricing and specifications are yet be be announced.
