Toyota’s latest offering in their commercial range, the Toyota Proace City has arrived in Ireland and is available at Toyota dealerships nationwide from this week. Priced from just €15,038 ex. VAT, the Proace City is a competitive and appealing addition to the Light Duty Van (LDV) segment and expands Toyota’s product coverage in the LCV market.
To celebrate the launch of the new Proace City, there are a range of offers that customers can avail of, from competitive leasing offers with Toyota Financial Services, or a 3.9% APR Hire Purchase offer, or a Scrappage Bonus of €3,000.
Size & Versatility
With two wheelbase lengths to choose from, Proace City can accommodate any business with ease.
The short wheelbase is 4.4m long with a cargo volume of up to 3.30 m3, a standard cargo length of 1.80m, and two individual front seats. For those who need to carry more personnel and cargo, the Smart Cargo feature allows for a three-seat bench with a folding outer passenger seat and a bulkhead hatch which provides an extra 0.4m3 load space, increasing the maximum load length by 1.30m to 3.10m. The centre passenger seatback can also be rotated to create a handy desk space, with additional under-seat storage.
The long wheelbase option is 4.7m in length, and its standard cargo length is 2.20m, and cargo volume is 3.90m3. Both cargo length and volume increase to 3.40m and 4.30m3 respectively with the Smart Cargo feature.
For both short and long wheelbase variants, tight spaces and city streets pose no problem as the asymmetric rear doors making loading a breeze.
The Proace City has a payload capacity of up to 1 tonne and both the long and short wheelbases can accommodate up to two Euro pallets.
Safety and Functionality
The Proace City benefits from equipment specifications that promote a comfortable driving environment and improved practicality. Where multimedia and connectivity are concerned, Proace City has everything customers need to run their business, and can be equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen to access audio and smartphone functions, Apple CarPlay (including Siri assistant) and Android Auto (including Google assistant), plus Bluetooth, and USB/Aux-in connections.
Clever storage points are featured throughout the cabin (according to grade), ranging from coin and cup holders and open stowage areas, to an under-seat drawer and spaces designed into the doors and floor.
Performance
The Proace City is available with a diesel powertrain offering a power spread from 75 to 100hp, and a five-speed manual transmission. The model range amply covers business and fleet customer requirements in the segment in terms of capability, versatility, performance and efficiency.
