THRIVE verdict
A high-payload, low-price large van well suited to businesses prioritising load capacity over cubic space.
This Citroën Relay panel van is the joint lowest-priced of 69 large vans in the THRIVE database, yet it still carries 1,425kg, a payload in the highest quarter of 75 large vans. For operators who need to shift weight rather than bulky volume, that combination is hard to ignore.
Load volume of 11.5m³ sits below the median of 78 large vans, so this isn't the van for businesses chasing maximum cube. Towing capacity of 2,500kg is exactly at the class median, and fuel economy of 30.4mpg is also median for diesel large vans in this class, so none of these figures are standout, but none are weak either.
Against named rivals, the Ford Transit Leader matches this van's payload and volume but costs considerably more, while the Toyota Proace Max Icon offers a touch more payload and volume for a similar price. The identically-specified Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Boxer share this van's figures at the same price, so the badge is really the deciding factor, not the numbers.
Best for
- heavy, weight-limited loads rather than bulky cargo
- budget-conscious fleets watching upfront cost
- standard towing needs up to 2,500kg
Think twice
- check load volume against the Toyota Proace Max Icon if cube matters more than payload
- badge-engineered twins (Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer) share identical figures, so compare dealer terms

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) | 3, 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 3.1m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 3,120mm, 1,422mm between the wheel arches, 1,932mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 470kg 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 1,782mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Farizon SV L2 H2, the closest alternative across the electric line, 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 132 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 180kg less (1,245kg against 1,425kg).
- Towing. Braked towing: 2,000kg electric, 2,500kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10p a mile against 24.7p for diesel: roughly £3,675 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £7,955 more after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 2.2 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Loads that use the last 180kg of the diesel's payload.
- Towing more than 2,000kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 188-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.35 kWh a mile: THRIVE's typical figure for an electric van (this van's usable battery is not verified).
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Citroën Relay Panel Van L2H2 3.5T Diesel 140hp Manual Enterprise's official 30.4mpg.
- 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.
