Proace

Proace is a family of light commercial vehicles produced by Toyota in collaboration with PSA Group, now part of Stellantis. Introduced in 2013, the Proace lineup encompasses cargo vans and a people-carrier variant, and has been marketed mainly in Europe with some sales in other regions. The vehicles were designed to compete in the mid-size van segment and share components with PSA’s Expert/Dispatch models.

The first generation of Proace was developed around the PSA EMP2 platform and offered a range of wheelbase lengths and roof heights to suit commercial and passenger use. It was marketed in distinct variants, including the Proace van for cargo and the Proace Verso for passengers. Powertrains included diesel and petrol engines, with manual and automatic transmissions available depending on market and configuration.

A second generation and expansion followed, with a new generation launched in the early 2020s through renewed collaboration between Toyota and Stellantis. This generation continues to share platforms with PSA/Opel/Vauxhall derivatives and emphasizes improved efficiency, payload, and driver-assistance features. In addition to the standard Proace, Toyota introduced the Proace City in 2020, a smaller van developed in partnership with Stellantis brands and sharing the platform with the Peugeot Partner, Citroën Berlingo, and Opel/Vauxhall Combo Life.

Proace vans have been produced at European plants and marketed across Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia. The lineup is typically offered as Toyota Proace (cargo), Proace Verso (people carrier), and Proace City (compact van), reflecting its multi-configuration approach for commercial and passenger applications.
