Toyota Probox GL

The Probox GL Hybrid combines a 1.5L 1NZ-FXE engine with a 61 PS electric motor, producing 100 PS of total system output. The electric motor produces 169 Nm of torque, giving the vehicle smooth low-speed response that works particularly well in city traffic.

The 0–100 km/h time is approximately 12–13 seconds, although Toyota does not publish an official 0–100 km/h figure. The braking system uses front ventilated discs and rear drums with ABS, EBD and Brake Assist. Toyota does not publish a universal official braking-distance figure, so actual stopping distance depends on tyres, road surface, load and brake condition.

A Toyota Probox GL Hybrid can realistically return approximately 17–20 km/L in city driving, 21–24 km/L on highways and around 19–22 km/L combined under typical Bangladesh conditions.

Yes, Probox is available in all 3 conditions mostly, so you can find your preferred condition within budget.

This is the hybrid version.

The GL Hybrid is positioned above the GX Hybrid and provides additional comfort and equipment while retaining the same 1.5L hybrid powertrain, FWD layout and CVT transmission.

The GL is particularly attractive for buyers who want a more comfortable daily-use Probox, while GX focuses more strongly on basic commercial practicality. The F Hybrid sits above both with additional equipment and a more comfort-oriented specification.

Yes. The Probox GL Hybrid is well suited to Dhaka traffic, urban roads and intercity highways. Its compact 4,245 mm length and 4.9-metre turning radius make it easy to manoeuvre through crowded roads and parking areas.

The 140 mm ground clearance is adequate for normal paved roads but requires caution over large speed breakers and deep potholes. Its long cargo area also makes it particularly useful for business and family travel.

Yes. City driving is one of the strongest use cases for the Probox Hybrid. The electric motor provides immediate low-speed assistance, while the CVT delivers smooth acceleration without conventional gear changes.

In heavy Dhaka traffic, the hybrid system can reduce fuel consumption compared with a conventional petrol Probox. However, prolonged idling, aggressive acceleration and heavy AC use will still reduce real-world mileage.

Routine maintenance is generally manageable, but a hybrid Probox has additional components that should be checked by a workshop familiar with Toyota hybrid systems.

A normal engine oil and filter service can commonly cost around ৳4,000–7,000, depending on oil, filters and labour. A reasonable annual routine-maintenance budget is approximately ৳15,000–30,000, excluding fuel and major repairs.

For a reconditioned hybrid, it is sensible to keep an additional reserve for the 12V battery, tyres, brakes, suspension and eventual hybrid-battery servicing.

Check the Japanese auction sheet, chassis number, auction grade, mileage and accident history first. Then inspect the hybrid battery, hybrid-system warning lights, engine, CVT operation, inverter/cooling system, suspension, brakes, AC and electrical equipment.

Also check the underbody for accident damage or corrosion and verify that the vehicle's mileage is consistent with its auction documentation.
