The Toyota Probox is a 5-door, 2 or 4-seater passenger car (Probox Wagon) and light commercial van (Probox Van) produced by Toyota since July 2002. It replaced the Corolla/Sprinter van.[1] The Probox serves as a slightly shorter version of the Toyota Succeed.

The Probox is used with a left-hand drive conversion extensively as a taxi in Peru and Bolivia. It remains in the JDM right-hand drive orientation for Jamaica. [2] Right-hand-drive Proboxes are used in Myanmar despite the country's traffic being oriented on the right.[3]

The car is not officially supplied to Russia, therefore it is distributed mainly in Siberia and the Far East of Russia (in the right-hand drive version).

2015

In late 2014, the Probox received a redesign and became a replacement for the pre-facelift Succeed.

Starting in 2018, a rebadged version of the Probox has been offered in Japan as the Mazda Familia Van.
