About the 2018 Ram ProMaster City
1st generation (2015-2022), fourth model year; last year before the 2019 front-end restyle.
Ram positions the ProMaster City as a right-sized van for city work and shuttle duty: easier to maneuver and cheaper to run than a full-size van, but still unusually roomy inside for its footprint. The pitch centers on strong cargo and payload numbers, a low load floor, flexible cargo-or-passenger layouts, and good highway fuel economy for a small commercial van. Against rivals like the Transit Connect and NV200, Ram leans on interior space and work-focused utility.
The 2018 ProMaster City comes as a work-focused cargo van or an adaptable five-seat passenger wagon, with SLT versions adding more comfort for drivers or passengers. Every version uses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a 9-speed automatic, while highlights include 131.7 cubic feet of cargo room in the cargo van and a fold-and-tumble rear seat in the wagon.
