Toyota Proace City: van, MPV and electric version
The Toyota Proace City is a compact van and people mover, essentially a cousin of the Peugeot Rifter, Citroën Berlingo and Opel Combo. We look at the versions, engines, the electric Proace City Electric and what to check when buying used.
Proace City at a glance
The Proace City debuted in 2019 and is Toyota's compact commercial vehicle, developed with PSA (now Stellantis). It's offered as a van, people mover Verso and other versions.
Thanks to its compact size, it's city-friendly, while the cargo area and people mover version offer ample space for families or tradespeople. It shares tech with the Berlingo, Rifter and Combo, so parts and mechanics are readily available.
Versions and lengths
The van and Verso come in two lengths — shorter (around 4.4m) and longer (around 4.75m). The longer version is for more boot space or extra room for passengers.
The Verso has 5 or 7 seats, sliding rear doors and a wide boot. The van has a single row of seats and a larger cargo area, sometimes with a foldable bulkhead.
Engines and gearboxes
The most common engine is the 1.5-litre diesel (around 75–130hp) and the 1.2-litre turbo petrol (around 110–130hp). Gearboxes are manual or automatic (8-speed).
The Proace City Electric has around a 50kWh battery and 100kW power; the manufacturer quotes over 250 miles range according to WLTP, but real-world range depends on speed, load and temperature.
What to check when buying a used Proace City
Body: check the underside of the sliding doors, rear doors, wheel arches, and cargo area floor. Commercial vehicles are often heavily used.
For the turbo petrol engine, stick to the belt and oil change schedule — this is a well-known maintenance area for this PSA engine family. Check the diesel engine for injectors, turbo, DPF, and AdBlue system.
In the electric version, pay attention to the battery health report, charging cables, and warranty. Check the range according to service records.
