Stellantis has a robust commercial van lineup internationally, and the full-size ProMaster has been in North America for years. The smaller mid-size ProMaster City van has been on hiatus over the last little while but is now making a comeback by rejoining the Ram Professional lineup.
“When the new ProMaster City arrives at dealerships early next year, it will be the only mid-size commercial van on sale in the U.S.,” says Tim Kuniskis, head of North American brands, SRT Performance Division, retail marketing. “Despite our unique market position, Ram Professional isn’t coasting; we’re raising the competitive bar and delivering on small business expectations.”
At launch, the front-wheel drive ProMaster City will be available in Tradesman and SLT trims, and in cargo van or passenger wagon configuration with seating for five or eight. It is expected to be on sale in early 2027, with order banks opening in 2026.
WHAT DOES IT OFFER?
The 2027 ProMaster City uses a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four engine offering 166 horsepower and 221 lbs/ft of torque mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
ProMaster City will come with over 167 cubic feet of cargo capacity with a over nine feet (111-inch) load floor, with a rear step‑in height if about 23”, and four feet between the rear wheel wells. It is just under 77” high, with a roofline that offers 54” of cargo height, and a wheelbase of 129”.
The van can carry over 2,000 pounds of payload, while also having a towing capacity (when equipped with an optional Class 3 trailer hitch with a two-inch receiver) of 2,000lbs.
Standard safety features on the ProMaster City include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, automatic headlamps with LED DRLs and automatic high-beams, digital rearview mirror, driver attention alert, exterior temperature alert with ice warning, hill-start assist, rear backup camera, rear parking sensors, programmable speed limiter, and second- and third-row side-curtain airbags (Passenger Wagon only).
ProMaster City comes standard with a passenger-side sliding door, while at the rear, two door configurations are available, 180-degree rear swing doors are available, with an optional rear liftgate (with fixed glass, defrost and wiper).
CONFIGURATIONS
The 2027 Ram ProMaster City offers six window and panel combinations. Paired with the two rear‑access options, customers can select from 11 distinct configurations:
Tradesman/SLT Cargo models can be selected with security panels; with side security panels and rear window(s); with fixed glass, grated passenger side door window, security panels and rear window(s); with fixed glass, grated side windows, rear quarter security panels and rear window(s); with fixed glass grated side windows; or fixed glass rear quarter windows and rear window(s). Tradesman/SLT Passenger come with fixed glass side windows and fixed glass rear quarter windows with rear window(s). All except full security panels models can be optioned with a rear liftgate.
WHAT’S INSIDE
Inside, ProMaster City offers a 10” digital instrument cluster and a 10” center touchscreen radio with navigation, Bluetooth, and integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The upgraded SLT trim offers front parking sensors and a wireless phone charger. While optional features include a heated steering wheel, a partition wall or third‑row seating on the Passenger Wagon. Rear seats on the Passenger Wagon are removable to allow for more cargo volume.
The return of ProMaster City fills a space in the market that once had players from many OEMS but now is very limited.
