These are the Top 5 medium vans to lease right now - whether you’re in the market for a practical all-rounder or a frugal plug-in hybrid.
Medium-sized LCVs dominated the sales charts in 2024, with the Ford Transit Custom finishing the year on top of the pile, followed closely by the likes of the Vauxhall Vivaro, VW Transporter and the Renault Trafic.
Mid-sized commercial vehicles come in many different forms, and you’ll want to lease the best one for your specific needs.
So, with that in mind, here’s our pick of the deals up for grabs right now, across a number of different leasing categories.
BEST ALL-ROUNDER: Vauxhall Vivaro | Pro | £272.57 ex VAT*
The Vivaro was fifth in the list of the UK’s most popular vans in 2024, with almost 19,000 new units registered.
You’re looking here at a Vivaro in range-topping ‘Pro’ trim and with the more powerful 2.0-litre diesel engine packing 145 PS.
A 1,375 kg payload and 2,500 kg braked towing capacity should see you right.
BEST VALUE: Peugeot Expert | Professional | £248.45 ex VAT*
This is, simply put, one of the most affordable medium-sized vans you can lease right now.
It’s a Peugeot Expert in entry-level ‘Professional’ trim and with the base 1.5-litre, 120 hp diesel engine.
Yet you still get creature comforts like a 10-inch touchscreen with smartphone mirroring, a 10-inch digital cockpit, and a generous 1,182 kg payload.
BEST CREW VAN: Citroen Dispatch | Enterprise | £382.78 ex VAT*
The Crew version of the popular Citroen Dispatch is a practical six-seater that still has enough room in the back to offer a 3.2 cubic metre load space.
It’s powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine with 145 hp, while the entry-level ‘Enterprise’ trim offers a 10-inch colour touchscreen, 10-inch digital cockpit, and rear parking sensors.
BEST PLUG-IN HYBRID: Ford Transit Custom | Double Cab | Limited | £319.71 ex VAT*
Talk about the best of all worlds - this PHEV Ford has got the lot.
It’s underpinned by a 2.5-litre petrol engine and a 16.5 kWh battery that unlocks a range of up to 32 miles using nothing but electricity.
It’s a double cab model, too, which means there are five seats while you still get a very decent 1,031 kg payload.
BEST AUTO: Citroen Dispatch | Enterprise | £367.60 ex VAT*
An automatic gearbox is a must for some motorists. And if you fall into that category, you’ll want to check out this affordable Citroen Dispatch lease.
The auto box is mated to Citroen’s punchy 2.0-litre diesel engine with power of 145 PS while it’ll still return close to 40 miles to the gallon.
