TOYOTA has given the world debut of its Toyota Corolla Commercial Van today at the CV Show (31 August-02 September 2021).
Quietly kept under wraps until until the first day of the show, the Corolla Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid based model has the rear seats removed and replaced with an accessible load area while the rear windows have been blacked out.
The new Toyota Corolla Commercial Van will be built at Toyota’s UK Burnaston plant and uses the same hybrid petrol-electric technology as the Corolla passenger cars, allowing it to run in pure EV mode for limited periods.
Its introduction further strengthens the Toyota Professional range for SME businesses wanting light commercial vehicles. This includes:
-
Proace,
-
Proace City,
-
Land Cruiser Commercial and
-
Toyota Hilux.
The range was further increased earlier this year with the launch of the Proace Electric medium van which will also expand to include Proace City Electric later in 2021 in the small van segment.
The new Corolla Commercial is scheduled to go on sale in summer 2022, with the UK being its first market. Initially a single version will be offered, says Toyota, indicating a £22,134 (commercial vehicle, on-the-road) price.
A full preview of the Commercial Vehicle Show – minus the surprise debut of the Corolla Commercial, of course – and supported by leasing provider Leasing Options, can be read here.
