Introducing the Citroën Dispatch
Born in 1994, the Citroën Dispatch has become a common sight on Britain's roads because of the dependability and value it offers to the working professionals who use it daily.
Having entered its latest generation, Citroën has implemented a sharper design that has been complemented by some of the latest technologies on the market, making the Dispatch a very desirable prospect for businesses.
It's the mid-size van in Citroën's commercial vehicle range, offering an attractive blend of loadspace, manoeuvrability and low running costs.
Payload and Capacity
Citroën Dispatch has been engineered to blend a professional appearance with unparalleled dependability, which means you don't have to compromise on everyday practicality when making a positive impression on your clients. The Dispatch isn't all looks either, with the ability to carry up to a 1,384kg payload, you'll rarely find yourself limited by this van.
On top of this, there is up to 6.6m3 of useful volume to play with on a daily basis, which can be easily accessed via the wide swinging rear doors. If that isn't enough, there's the option to spec hands-free sliding doors for maximum convenience. There's also two lengths to choose from, in the form of 'M' or 'XL', along with two trims - 'Enterprise' and 'Driver'.
Technology and Safety
Dispatch isn't just a workhorse with a pretty face; it also boasts some of the latest driver aids and safety technology available, meaning every day on the job is made easier and safer, via a whole host of features, which are listed for ease below:
- Automatic Dipping Headlights
- Hill Start Assist
- Rear parking sensors
- Full 10-inch digital instrument cluster
- Cruise control with speed limiter
- Air conditioning
- My Citroën Play Plus featuring 10-inch colour touchscreen
- Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
- Driver Attention Alert
- Automatic door unlocking in the event of an accident
- Full steel bulkhead
- Electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors
Economy and Performance
Citroën offers the Dispatch with a range of diesel engines, along with a fully-electric version when including the Citroën ë-Dispatch.
Kicking the engine range off is the BlueHDI 120 which uses a four-cylinder 1.5-litre diesel with 120bhp, along with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Alternatively, there is a more potent 2.0-litre diesel BlueHDI 145, which again is a 4-cylinder unit with 144bhp, which can be had with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or an 8-speed automatic alternative.
The 120 entry-level version can return up to 44mpg, whilst the more powerful higher-powered 145 can return up to 39mpg, which isn't bad considering its extra power.
