Toyota is rolling out changes to its Proace City compact van range for the 2022 model year with a new equipment grade and a new, more powerful engine.
The first change is the introduction of a new top-of-the-range Design trim. This comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured bumpers, satellite navigation and an alarm as standard and benefits from Toyota Safety Sense features – a pre-collision system with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, road sign recognition and driver fatigue alert.
Initially, the Design version will be available with the 100hp 1.5-litre diesel engine in standard-wheelbase (L1) form. In spring 2022, the choice will be extended with a new 130hp version of the 1.5 engine, with automatic transmission. The 75hp engine has been deleted from the range.
All Proace City models are sold with a three-year/60,000-mile manufacturer’s warranty, which can be extended to run for up to ten years with the Toyota Relax programme. New Toyota Professional models are also sold with five years’ roadside assistance cover, giving further customer peace of mind.

Introduced in 2020, Proace City gives Toyota a strong model in the compact van segment, with load volume, load length and payload performance (1,000kg) that match the best in its class. Its Smart Cargo system maximises usable space for carrying longer items while towing capacity is up to 1,500kg. Both standard (L1 2,785mm) and long-wheelbase (L2 2,975mm) versions are available. The Proace City range will be further extended in 2022 with the introduction of Proace City Electric, a zero-emission battery-electric version with a 136hp power output.
