The conventional non-hybrid Toyota Probox 1500cc. This is the classic workhorse model, valued for its simplicity and rugged dependability.

​The best attributes of the non-hybrid 1500cc Probox revolve around three key areas: ultimate utility, rock-solid reliability, and exceptional running cost efficiency.

The vehicle's defining feature is its boxy, functional design, earning it the "Professional Box" name. This shape is engineered specifically to maximize cargo volume, offering a low loading height, a wide rear hatch opening, and a flat load floor. The rear seats fold down completely flat, instantly converting the entire rear cabin into a single, massive cargo bay. This versatility is unparalleled in its class. The Probox is built on a robust platform with a focus on durability, featuring a rugged suspension and reinforced chassis capable of carrying substantial loads (often up to 450KG).

The 1.5L 1NZ-FE engine is one of Toyota's most globally renowned powerplants, known for its longevity and minimal common issues. With proper maintenance, these engines are known to exceed 300,000 km.For a non-hybrid utility vehicle, its fuel consumption is a massive advantage. The 1.5L petrol engine typically achieves a combined average of around 16.7 km per liter, making it highly economical for daily driving and commercial fleet use.Since it is a mechanically simple Toyota, spare parts are readily available and affordable in virtually every market, and maintenance costs are consistently low, making it a very low-budget vehicle to run.

The 1.5L engine provides a decent balance of power (around 109 hp and 136 Nm of torque) for hauling goods without compromising too heavily on efficiency. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in a respectable 12.6 seconds, which is sufficient for highway driving.

The boxy design naturally results in excellent all-round visibility, which is key for maneuvering in tight urban environments and is a major safety benefit. Here, you get essential modern features such as Power Windows, Power Steering, ABS, and basic Airbags.
