Toyota Probox engines
The Toyota Probox is a Japanese light commercial vehicle with a 5-seater minivan body from Toyota Motor Corporation. It began to be produced in 2002. Initially, the model was positioned for the transportation of small loads, but over time it began to be used universally. It is produced in two modifications – passenger and cargo-passenger and two configurations – front- and all-wheel drive. The car has a right-hand steering wheel, so there were no official deliveries to Russia.
The Toyota Probox was offered with 5 engines since 2002 (1 diesel, 4 petrol). Displacement ranges from 1.3 to 1.5 liters, power output from 68 to 115 hp. All of them use a timing chain. 1 is turbocharged. The longest rated lifespan belongs to the Toyota 1ND-TV (about 300,000 km).
