An absolutely cracking year for Toyota in 2021 resulted in our brand collecting more than 40 awards, with key models such as the all-new Yaris Cross, Proace Electric and GR Yaris being honoured by both critics and motorists alike. With several new models joining the range over the coming 12 months, it’s likely that Toyota will continue its winning streak and claim another raft of awards during 2022.

As our cars, services and people are recognised for their achievements in the automotive industry and beyond, this article will be updated throughout the next 12 months to reflect the growing number of honours bestowed upon us during the calendar year.

Toyota Awards 2022: Proace and Proace Electric Take Honours at Company Car & Van Awards

The Toyota Proace has retained its title as Medium Van of the Year and Proace Electric has won Medium Electric Van of the Year in the Company Car & Van awards.

Proace is the medium-duty van in the Toyota Professional range of commercial vehicles, covering all areas of the segment with a choice of three body lengths and four powertrains.  The addition of Proace Electric in 2021 added two fully electric versions to the line-up, with no compromise on load space.  With a choice of a 50 or 75kWh lithium-ion battery, Proace Electric can achieve a zero-emission driving range of up to 205 miles. 

Andrew Walker, Company Car & Van Editor, said: “The Toyota Proace retains our title of Medium Van of the Year 2022. It’s slightly different from its Stellantis siblings, offering more standard equipment and a longer warranty, with a slightly higher price point. It also features a cleverly designed cabin, a raft of safety features and the latest tech, plus the peace of mind that comes with owning a Toyota.”

He continued: “The Proace Electric is great to drive, features a 200-mile range, comes with a competitive payload, has a user-friendly cabin and offers the connectivity that van operators demand from their commercial vehicles. It’s one of the best electric vans you can buy.”
