THRIVE verdict
A large diesel Proace Max with strong payload and volume at a below-median price.
This Proace Max Icon Long sits in the top quarter of large vans for both payload (1,400kg) and load volume (15m³), while costing below the median price for the class. For a business that needs to carry bulky or heavy loads regularly without paying a premium, that combination is hard to ignore.
Against named diesel rivals it holds up well: the Citroën Relay matches its 15m³ volume but carries less payload and costs a little less, while the Ford Transit offers more towing but less volume and a higher price. Fuel economy of 31.3mpg is above the median for diesel large vans, and braked towing of 2,500kg is above median too.
The electric Proace Max Electric sibling carries slightly more payload and the same volume but costs considerably more up front, so the diesel suits buyers prioritising lower purchase cost and flexibility over longer routes, while the electric suits those able to use its range within daily operations. The warranty, extendable up to 10 years/100,000 miles with qualifying services, is worth building into total ownership planning.
Best for
- operators needing high payload for heavy loads
- businesses carrying bulky goods needing large volume
- budget-conscious fleets wanting a below-median price large van
- towing work up to 2,500kg
Think twice
- check CO2 and fuel economy fit your emissions policy
- electric sibling costs much more upfront despite similar capacity

Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Toyota Proace Max Electric Icon Long, High Height Electric 110 kWh 140 DIN hp Auto, the same body with the other powertrain, for a typical working day.
Electric could work: check the points below
- Range. 100 miles a day sits comfortably inside a planning range of about 182 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.

- Towing. Braked towing: 2,400kg electric, 2,500kg diesel.

- Price. The electric version lists for £15,133 more, which the energy saving covers in about 5.4 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice

How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 260-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
