The 2015 Ram ProMaster City Cargo has a base MSRP of $23,130 and the 2015 Ram ProMaster City Wagon starts at $24,130 (plus the $995 destination fee for both). This van, based on the FIAT Doblò, competes directly with the Nissan NV200, Ford Transit Connect and Chevrolet City Express – among others. FIAT Chrysler Automobile (FCA) has already introduced the large Ram ProMaster, which competes against large vans like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Nissan NV; the 2015 Ram ProMaster City has an ever-expanding market to claw itself into.

Equipped with a 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cyliner gas engine, it makes 178 horsepower and 174 lbs-feet of torque. The power is fed to the front wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. According to FCA, the 2015 Ram ProMaster City gets 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined.

“The new Ram ProMaster City enters the Class 1 market with a long list of customer-focused, best-in-class features, including the highest available payload and cargo capacities,” said Bob Hegbloom, President and CEO — Ram Truck Brand. “Customers can look to Ram Commercial for a full line of trucks and vans that set the standard for cost of ownership and innovation.”
