![]() ![]() Your choice of engine will largely depend on the sort of work you have in mind, but we’d recommend the 120bhp engine (unless you really need an auto). It gives you a high level of standard trim but also means you can add features like the 7.0in touchscreen, which has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Given that the trim level you choose dictates the size of the van you can operate (or vice versa), it’s probably best to start with the Icon as the option you’ll need. Going forwards is the easy part, as the Proace’s wing mirrors are also particularly small for a mid-sized van. Allied with what is a fairly narrow windscreen anyway and it becomes noticeably harder to see where you are going compared with a Transit Custom or VW Transporter. Its lower, more car-like seating position is great for enhancing the overall feel of the vehicle, but it does make forward visibility harder. ![]() Visibility is perhaps the greatest weakness of the Proace. The 174bhp engine is really at its best with the eight-speed automatic and together make a fine choice.įuel economy will suffer slightly as a result, if you choose this option, but not dramatically, with a claimed combined fuel consumption of up to 39.2mpg compared with the most efficient Proace, that being the 1.5-litre 120bhp option which achieves as much as 44.8mpg. The additional power and torque of the bigger engine are better dealt with by the automatic option, so it is just as well that that is the only option in the Proace. The manual six-speed gearbox has a good action to it and matches well to the lower-powered engines.
