A Bigger Van That Still Fits Your Garage — and Your Routes

The 2027 ProMaster City has grown in nearly every meaningful dimension compared to the 2022 model year, yet RAM's engineers have been careful to preserve the qualities that made the original a go-to for urban fleets. The van remains garageable at under 84 inches in height — a critical consideration for fleets operating in cities with low-clearance parking structures — and its 42-foot turning diameter is unchanged, keeping it as nimble as ever in tight environments.

The headline upgrade is cargo length: the new model stretches to 111 inches of floor space — nearly two feet more than the 87.2 inches offered in the previous generation. That additional room means the 2027 ProMaster City can now accommodate standard 4x8-foot sheet materials flat on the floor, a capability that immediately expands its appeal for construction, trades, and delivery fleets.

A Comprehensive Safety Technology Upgrade

For fleet managers focused on driver safety and risk reduction, the 2027 ProMaster City comes with a full suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), many of which were unavailable on the previous generation:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Forward Collision Warning
• Driver Attention Alert — monitors for signs of driver fatigue or distraction
• ParkSense Rear Park Assist System with Rear Parking Sensors
• Digital Dual-View Rearview Mirror — provides a clear rear camera feed regardless of cargo load
• Automatic High Beams and Daytime Running LED Lamps
• Exterior Temperature Alert with Ice Warning

The Digital Dual-View Rearview Mirror is a standout addition for cargo operators. Because rear visibility in a loaded van is often completely obstructed, this camera-based mirror system gives drivers a clear, unobstructed view behind the vehicle.

Driver Comfort and Connectivity

RAM has also elevated the driver experience considerably. The 2027 ProMaster City comes standard with a 10-inch touchscreen radio display with navigation — double the screen size of the outgoing model — paired with a 10-inch digital cluster display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are included, ensuring drivers can stay connected and navigate efficiently without relying on separate devices.

Heated front seats, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, and steering wheel audio controls round out the standard comfort package. An available SLT trim adds 17-inch aluminum wheels, front and rear park assist, front fog lamps, and wireless charging. Rear climate control is included on the Passenger Van configuration, and an optional Heated Steering Wheel and Trailer Tow Package are also available.

Specs, Availability, and Pricing

Powering the new ProMaster City is a 1.6L Turbocharged Inline-4 gasoline engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 166 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. The van is front-wheel drive, supports up to 2,175 lbs. of payload, and maintains a 2,000-lb. towing capacity. It is available in Cargo and Passenger configurations, with optional 5 or 8-passenger seating for the latter.

RAM is targeting a starting price under $40,000, positioning the ProMaster City competitively within the small-to-mid-van segment. Production is scheduled for Q4 2026, with deliveries expected in Q1 2027. Available exterior colors include Pure White, Black Steel Metallic, Carbide Silver Metallic, Cardinal Red, Thunder Grey Metallic, and Iron Green Metallic.

EMKAY will continue to share updates as production and delivery timelines firm up. If you are evaluating your small-van fleet strategy ahead of the 2027 model year arrival, the ProMaster City's expanded cargo capacity, enhanced safety technology, and competitive price point make it a vehicle worth watching closely.
