Toyota launched the new, all-electric Proace Verso and smaller Proace City Verso MPVs on Thursday in the UK. Toyota’s new electric people carriers are on sale now with more range, tech, and style than ever.

“Power to the people carriers,” Toyota boasted after launching its new mid-size and compact multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) in the UK this week.

Toyota upgraded the electric vans with a bigger battery, more features, and a new design. The new electric people movers went on sale this week ahead of expected deliveries in September.

The larger Proace Verso is on sale for the first time in the UK with a new 75 kWh battery, up from 50 kWh previously. This battery increases the Proace Verso’s WLTP range to 214 miles, up from 143.

Meanwhile, with a larger battery, quick charge (10% to 80%) time is up to 45 minutes from 30 mins with the 50 kWh battery.

Toyota’s electric Proace Verso is available in two sizes: L1 (4,983 mm) and L2 (5,333 mm). The L1 model, offered in Icon and Design trims, offers a single front seat and three seats in the second and third rows.
