ProMaster 1500 generations, and what changed
These boundaries are not copied from a brochure — they fall out of the measurements. Where the ProMaster 1500's length or wheelbase jumps between consecutive model years the platform changed: a facelift moves a bumper by centimetres, a new generation moves the whole car — for the ProMaster 1500 that gives 2 distinct generations below.
| Generation | Length | Wheelbase | Weight | vs previous | Weight change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014-2020 | 541 cm | 345 cm | 2145 kg | - | - |
| 2023-2026 | 542 cm | 345 cm | 2171 kg | +1 cm | +26 kg |
Between 2014 and 2026 the ProMaster 1500 gained 1 cm in length (+0.2%) and 26 kg in weight (+1.2%). Cars did not so much grow as thicken — crash structures, airbags and equipment weigh more than the metal they replaced, and on the ProMaster 1500 that is 26 kg against 1 cm. Full dimensions by year →
