Choose the eSprinter if...
The eSprinter trades payload for range and battery size, so fleets running it for last-mile and urban delivery routes typically spec the heavier 4.15-4.25t GVW derivatives to recover payload lost to the battery pack.
Payload varies sharply by battery size (81kWh vs 113kWh) and plated GVW (3.5t vs 4.15-4.25t); figures shown cover L2 and L3 panel van body lengths only.
Full specifications →Choose the Proace if...
The Proace gives Toyota a stake in the medium-van class using Stellantis-group platform sharing, competing directly with the Transit Custom, Trafic and Vivaro on payload and load volume rather than on any distinct Toyota engineering.
Figures cover L1 and L2 wheelbase diesel derivatives and the battery-electric version; a shorter-range 50kWh electric option has a slightly higher payload than the 75kWh pack.
