Best large vans
Large vans are incredibly popular, for their ability to carry the biggest and heaviest of loads on a daily basis. Where large vans also excel is the level of choice that they offer to customers, with many available in four lengths and three heights, meaning it's easy to get a van tailored to the requirements of your business. All of these choice however can be daunting when it comes to searching for a large van, which is why our team of Vansdirect are breaking down our top 5, you can view these below!
5. Citroen Relay
One of the largest vans in its class and ultimately one of the best, the Citroen Relay van offers up to a staggering 17.0 cubic metres of load volume on largest models however it is also an incredibly comfortable place to spend the day when shifting these large loads. The Citroen Relay van also thrives in the areas of parking and positioning, with nimble handling and a tight turning circle.
There's very little to choose between the Citroen Relay and Peugeot Boxer vans as they are essentially built on the same platform, so fourth and fifth places in the table could have easily have been reversed, however we've just opted for the Peugeot Boxer here as we prefer the front end appearance with the higher grille, that and trim levels are basically where the differences between the two excellent large vans ends.
One of the newest vans in the new large van segment, in 2017 the Volkswagen Crafter van parted ways with the Mercedes Sprinter van and was named International Van of the Year in the same year. The Volkswagen Crafter has cemented itself amongst the very best in the segment, being easy to drive and loaded with technology whilst also being as refined as anything you'll find in the Volkswagen cars range.
One of the most iconic vans on the market with a lifespan which exceeds more than half a century, despite this, the Ford Transit van is still as popular as ever having evolved through the years to the fantastically refined, comfortable and capable large van that we all see today. There is no shortage of choice with the Ford Transit van, with no fewer than 450 model variants available, each with a guaranteed incredible level of quality.
The latest generation of Mercedes Sprinter van is the latest all-new edition to the large vans market and we have put it straight in at the top of the tree. The Mercedes Sprinter carries on where models before it have left off, with undoubted quality and reliability, but taken comfort, reliability and technology to a complete new level. The level of technology and connectivity sets the Mercedes Sprinter apart in this segment.
