ProMaster City Wagon, 4dr Wgn, C, Full-size Passenger Van, It's a minivan that's an actual mini van. Not the Honda Odyssey or the Toyota Sienna or any of those other bloated family-haulers that may technically be "vans" but are hardly mini, but rather old-fashioned boxes on wheels---low on amenities, high on utility. And as we've come to find out, they're not that bad to drive either.That's certainly the case with the 2016 Ram Promaster City, which joins the Ford Transit Connectand the Nissan NV200/Chevrolet City Express twins in the Tiny Van Tousle of 2015. Essentially a slightly warmed over Fiat Doblo utility van that's sold overseas, the Promaster City arrives in Ram dealerships now, both in cargo and five-passenger formThe Promaster City has a lot of right qualities.It starts with being eminently easy to drive. From behind the wheel, the Promaster City's car-like driving position and surprisingly stylish, ergonomically sound dashboard are more like those of a tall station wagon than a cargo van. Particular helpful if the van is to be piloted by many different drivers is its uncomplicated Uconnect infotainment system with available touchscreen and wifi, which requires little or no learning curve to master, unlike the fussy Sync system in the Transit Connect. Large glass back windows on models so equipped (including all five-passenger versions, which also come with windows in the sliding door) dwarf the tiny airplane-size back windows in the NV200/City Express, blessing the Promaster City with a great view out back when it's not loaded with stuff.As a compact van weighing about 3,600 lbs., the Promaster City is also is fully competent with just four cylinders underhood. The 2.4-liter "Tigershark" inline-four's 178 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque make it the most powerful mill in the segment, while a nine-speed automatic with manual shift control manages the shifting. Thus endowed, the Promaster City is no speed demon at full tilt, but nor should drivers be allowed to blame any late deliveries on their van being too slow. And just as important to the boss is the Promaster City's impressive 21/29 mpg city/highway fuel economy, which exactly matches the long-wheelbase Transit Connect.The Promaster City is also spectacularly maneuverable, boasting a turning circle that, at just 32 feet, is three feet tighter than a Mini Cooper's.Ride quality, meanwhile, is downright heroic thanks to a fully independent rear suspension (the NV200/City Express have bumpy rear leaf springs and the Transit Connect has a twist beam rear axle), so if you're in the business of transporting delicate items like wedding cakes or antiques, this should top your shopping list.However small it drives, the Promaster City can carry a lot. Size wise, it's very close to the Ford and Nissan competition, yet it manages to squeak more cubic feet into the cargo area: 131.7 cubes on cargo models versus 128.6 for the Ford and 122.7 for the Nissan. The roof height is a tall 51.8 inche
