Toyota Proace van review – quietly competent

The Proace is competent, comfortable, and generously equipped. Plus the 5 year/100,000 mile warranty will be a big advantage for some businesses.

The Proace is a very competent successor to the much loved Hiace. ESP is already standard on this van which is excellent news for its safety

Business Vans review verdict

A competent model, even if it lacks the flair of the old Hiace in its heyday. However, any small businesses that need smaller or larger vans as well will have to look elsewhere for these, so don’t necessarily expect to source all your vans from one dealer. Also be aware that when you opt for the rival Citroen Dispatch, you get a natty Trafficmaster sat nav and stolen tracking unit thrown in for free, even if you might have to pay extra for ESP.
