The Citroën Dispatch

Citroën have been producing a high quality range of vans for decades now and the range has gone from strength to strength. The Citroën vans ability to carry large, small, heavy and light goods around the UK means that it is one of the most popular van companies in the UK. With so many tradesman using the vans every day, the vans do take a battering, which means that if you invest in a van, it better be tough enough to do the job every day.

The Citroën Dispatch van has always been equipped with technology, style and space for loading since they were first built back in 1995. The Citroën Dispatch van usually consists of electronic windows, cruise control, improved traction control, airbags and an adjustable steering wheel as standard. The aero dynamic styling and durable midsized capacity makes it the perfect utility vehicle for many businesses.

The New Citroën Dispatch

The latest in the Citroën Dispatch range seems to be much better than its predecessors as it is able to carry heavier loads, has two roof heights offering three different cargo volumes and a choice of two wheelbases. With other big players in the vans market such as the Renault Trafic, Mercedes-Benz Vito and Volkswagen Transporter, the Citroën Dispatch can easily compete with these vans, especially on price. The Citroën Dispatch offers Smartnav satellite navigation as standard and the vehicle tracking to make it more attractive.

The Interior

In terms of how the van feels to drive, the Dispatch is always pleasant to sit in, with a car-like dashboard design. Citroën have tried hard to take many of the features from their cars so many of the switches and controls are very similar. Visibility in many vans can be an issue but this certainly isn’t the case with the Dispatch with wing mirrors that show off clearly the view around the van. Air conditioning is not as standard but it is optional as well as the cruise control, upgraded audio systems and Bluetooth compatibility.

Driveability

With a number of different size engines to choose from, including the 90bhp, 120bhp and 136bhp versions, there is definitely something for everyone. The Citroën Dispatch 90bhp version uses a 1.6HDi engine which is very responsive when using it for local multi-drop work, but also not too bad when covering hundreds of miles a week on the motorway. The other two versions are also good for local drop off but are also excellent at much longer journeys. Although the van is large and can carry large loads, it doesn’t feel large to drive and the noise of the van is fairly muted.

Overall, the Citroën Dispatch is a wonderful van in its class and the reasonable price tag means that it will be a big hit with many van drivers up and down Britain.
