Toyota is a brand known more for its hybrid technology than any pure electric innovations, but this titan of a company is slowly embracing our fully electric future in both its passenger and commercial vehicles. What is beyond dispute is the quality and reliability of Toyota products, supported by robust warranties and a vast UK dealer network.
Key highlights
Toyota is the world’s biggest carmaker, which says something about their global popularity. For UK businesses, this strength manifests itself in both the product range but also the Toyota Professional aftersales programme. For commercial vehicle drivers, any sort of downtime is costly which is why Toyota Professional facilitates after-hours appointments, guarantees 24-hour parts delivery and grants access to a network of more than 100 Toyota Professional dealers.
EVs and Toyota
Toyota has been a cautious entrant to fully electric vehicles, both in the passenger and commercial vehicle space. The Proace Electric and Proace City Electric are joint ventures in the small and medium van categories between Toyota and the Stellantis Group. While much of the mechanicals are identical, Toyota is still able to differentiate from the pack with its extended 10-year warranty and aforementioned aftercare service.
Top models
The Toyota Proace Electric enters the highly competitive medium-sized van sector and, thanks to its badge engineering partnership with the Stellantis Group, goes straight to the top of the pile. Similarly, the Proace City Electric is another compelling package for the smaller-yet-significant urban delivery segment.
Similar brands
Peugeot, Vauxhall and Citroen form part of the Stellantis Group and so offer mechanically identical versions of both the Proace Electric and Proace City Electric.

The Proace Electric is built for Toyota by the Stellantis Group, making it a carbon copy of the Vauxhall Vivaro Electric, Peugeot e-Expert and Citroen e-Dispatch. That also means it’s one of the best medium-sized electric vans on sale, with strong levels of standard equipment.

The Toyota Proace City Electric is the result of a collaboration with the Stellantis Group and is one of four similar small vans – the other three being the Citroen e-Berlingo, Peugeot e-Partner and Vauxhall Combo Electric. Small on the outside yet big on the inside, the Proace City is a great van to lease if you’re operating in and around dense city centres.
