Three finishes so that work and pleasure are not at odds

The Proace Verse Means finishing with the access Shuttle
According to Toyota, the finish Shuttle is oriented to self-employed workers that use the vehicle both in his professional environment as a family and for them to have a configuration of 6 or 9 squares. Has bumper in body colour with trims chrome trim, fog lamps, daytime running lights-LED, rims 16-inch steel, pressure sensor, tires, and tinted windows.

The ride comfort of a passenger car
Settled on the modern, modular platform EMP2, the vehicle type combi japanese have an image clearly identifiable using the modern and attractive design language Under Priority that characterizes the DNA of the latest releases in the range of passenger cars of Toyota.
at The wheel, we sit in a position high and upright, with good visibility in all directions. After driving it has become clear that the Toyota Proace Verse is not a simple version for transport of passengers designed on the basis of their commercial vehicle, but increases its functionality with a greater dose of comfort and quality to position itself as a great minivan, with a capacity of up to nine passengers.
Very quiet and comfortable at all times
The range mechanics of the Proace Verse is composed exclusively by diesel engines (D-4D, in particular, 1.6, 95 and 115 HP and the 2.0 150 and 177 HP. According to the motorization, you can resort to a manual gearbox of 5 or 6 speeds or an automatic transmission of 6 marches. All the mechanics are the source and PSA are outstanding for their smoothness.
| Engines | 1.6 D-4D 95 | 1.6 D-4D 115 | 2.0 D-4D 150 | 2.0 D-4D 180 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| engine Displacement (cm3) | 1.560 | 1.560 | 1.997 | 1.997 |
| Power max. (HP/ kW @ rpm) | 95/70 to 3.750 | 115/85 3,500 | 150/110 4000 | 177/130 to 3.750 |
| maximum Torque (Nm at rpm) | 210 to 1,750 | 300 to 1,750 | 370 2,000 | 400 2.000 |
| Stop & Start | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Transmission | Manual 5v | Manual 6v | Manual 6v | Automatic 6v |
| Speed max. (km/h) | 145 | 160 | 170 | 170 |
| Accel. 0-100 km/h (seconds) | 15,9 | 13,4 | 11,0 | 10,1 |
| Consumption (combined, l/100 km) | 5,5 to 5,6 | to 5.1 to 5.2 | 5,3 5,5 | 5.7 6,0 |
| CO2 Emissions (combined g/km) | 144 to 148 | 133 to 137 | 139 to 147 | 151 to 159 |
During the presentation we had the opportunity of driving the engine 2.0 D-4D 150 HP that has surprised us by his good push and to maintain a consumption always below 6.5 l/100 km over this is the version of 177 HP, not necessarily linked to a automatic transmission, that will be a good choice for those who want absolute comfort.
we were Also able to perform a couple of routes with the mechanical 1.6 D-4D 115 HP, a priori, that should concentrate a larger volume of sales. Despite his figure of power more modest, is shown to be sufficient for the day-to-day thanks to its 300 Nm of torque. The consumption during our contact has been around 6 l/100 km This same block with a variation of 95 HP, maybe a bit fair for those who need to transport a lot of cargo.
The modular interior is one of the strong points of the Proace Verse
The three trim levels of the van japanese can be completed with three lengths of bodywork, with the only exception of is not available a VIP version with the body Compact. However, it is important to note that not all finishes, engines, transmissions and truck bodies can be associated with each other. possible combinations are the following:
| Versions | 1.6 D-4D 95 | 1.6 D-4D 115 | 2.0 D-4D 150 | 2.0 D-4D 180 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shuttle Compact | YES | YES | – | – |
| Shuttle Means | – | YES | YES | YES |
| Shuttle Long | – | YES | YES | YES |
| Family Compact | – | YES | YES | – |
| Family Means | – | YES | YES | YES |
| Family Long | – | – | YES | YES |
| VIP Compact | – | – | – | – |
| VIP Means | – | – | YES | YES |
| VIP Long | – | – | YES | YES |
gone are those vans are crude, uncomfortable and noisy. In terms of comfort, the Proace Verse has little to envy to other minivans because it highlights the absence of vibrations and the low noise at all times. The suspension has a tare soft and comfortable: your configuration is specific for the transport of passengers in this version Verse, and it is completely different from the one that mounts the Proace Van.
The safety equipment is very high
As confirmed by the Polish roads during the launch event, the new Proace is very poised and gives confidence to the driver in any circumstance. It is a vehicle quite agile, although the steering ratio forces you to reach for more of the account in the turns. Yes, the turning radius is the best in its category (only for 11.3 meters) which was appreciated at the time of performing maneuvers.
The japanese brand has also worked in the security getting five-star Euro NCAP, something that only you can boast about in this segment the trio of models of Toyota-PSA. Depending on the version is equipped with the set of technologies of active safety and driver assistance Toyota Safety Sense. This includes the detection system dead angle, security system precolisión with pedestrian detection, the warning of involuntary change of lane, the alert attention of the driver, the recognition of traffic signals, intelligent control of road lighting and the adaptive cruise control.
The flexibility inside is very accomplished, especially in the case of the levels Family, and VIP. Slide, fold or remove the seats is simple and fast by allowing a huge modularity for the Proace Verse that has nothing to envy to that of a minivan, classic.
The Toyota Traction Select (TTS) is very useful for forays off the tarmac
To give you more versatility, you can also equip the Toyota Traction Select (TTS), a system identical to the Grip Control, which employs PSA. This system improves the functioning of the traction on slippery surfaces with little or no grip. You can choose between five levels of intervention that correspond with the normal program, snow (up to 50 km/h), clay (up to 80 km/h), sand (up to 120 km/h) or VSC Off (traction control completely off).
