THRIVE verdict
A well-priced medium van with strong payload and towing, built for mixed trades work.
The Dispatch XL Enterprise combines a payload of 1,294kg, in the highest quarter of medium vans, with 6.1m³ of load space, above the class median. It will take three Euro pallets or two UK pallets in a single row, plus 8x4 sheets flat between the arches, and can tow up to 2,500kg, among the highest braked towing figures in this class. That's a genuinely practical mix for trades carrying bulky loads and a trailer.
At £32,205 ex VAT it sits in the lowest price quarter of medium vans, well under the £37,950 median, undercutting the Volkswagen Transporter at £36,000 and Ford Transit Custom at £35,950, both of which offer similar or slightly higher payload but less towing in the Ford's case. Fuel economy of 39.8mpg sits exactly at the diesel median, so this is a competitively priced van rather than a standout economy one.
The identical van is sold as the Peugeot Expert at the same £32,205 and the Vauxhall Vivaro at £33,050, so badge preference or dealer terms may decide between them. The electric ë-Dispatch costs £5,055 more after grant, carries less payload at 1,138kg, and suits depot or home charging where running costs undercut diesel; high-mileage public charging use narrows that gap.
Best for
- Trades needing high payload and towing together
- Pallet and sheet-material haulage
- Budget-conscious fleets wanting a well-specced medium van
Think twice
- Fuel economy is only mid-pack for a diesel medium van
- Electric sibling costs more but has lower payload

What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 3, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 2, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Lie flat on the floor, between the wheel arches |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 2.8m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 2,862mm, 1,258mm between the wheel arches, 1,397mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 430kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,247mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Citroën ë-Dispatch Panel Van XL Electric 136hp Automatic Enterprise (75kWh), the same body with the other powertrain, for a typical working day.
Electric could work: check the points below
- Range. 100 miles a day sits comfortably inside a planning range of about 136 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 156kg less (1,138kg against 1,294kg).
- Towing. Braked towing: 1,000kg electric, 2,500kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10.2p a mile against 18.9p for diesel: roughly £2,175 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £5,055 more after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 2.3 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Loads that use the last 156kg of the diesel's payload.
- Towing more than 1,000kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 194-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.356 kWh a mile: the usable battery divided by the official range.
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Citroën Dispatch Panel Van XL Diesel 150hp Manual Enterprise's official 39.8mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.

Body mapping: the price list names the versions 'Panel Van XL / Crew Van XL' and the dimension tables head the columns M/XL (overall length 4980 < 5331), so XL = XL.
