Mid-size Van of the Year 2025: Ford Transit Custom
With electric, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains offered, plus a wide range of trim levels, as well as panel van, Double Cab, MultiCab and even camper options on the table, the Ford Transit Custom has a variant to suit virtually every use case imaginable, making it our category winner in the van's 60th-anniversary year. Advertisement - Article continues below Keep things basic, and the standard Leader model with 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel power delivers a no-nonsense drive in two body lengths. But if you need to carry passengers, then the six-seat Double Cab In-Van could be for you. This comes in a wider range of trims, including the rugged adventure-inspired Trail option and racy Sport and MS-RT specs (which are also offered on the standard panel van), and given that the Transit Custom delivers such a grown-up drive, this could easily double as family transport. Somewhere in between the two sits the MultiCab, with a five-seat layout (three in the front, two in the back) and an L-shaped bulkhead so long items can still fit in the cargo bay. The strong diesel engines deliver good efficiency and power, while the electrified e-Transit Custom adds hushed refinement to the mix. There's even a performance-orientated model in MS-RT guise, where the electric powertrain is turned up to 281bhp (up from 215bhp as standard) to help give it the grunt to match the racier looks. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Overall, the Transit Custom sets the standard by which all other medium-sized panel vans must be judged, and it will have to be a very strong contender to knock the Ford off the number one position next year. Advertisement - Article continues below Our Find A Car service has the best deals out there on a new car from stock or top prices on used cars ... There's huge variety in the Transit Custom line-up, but the five-seat Double Cab In-Van variant stands out because it could be a more practical alternative to a pick-up truck, now that the tax regime for the latter has changed. It doesn't carry as much as the standard panel van, but the versatile second-row seats means it could double as family transport. There's so little between the Citroen Dispatch, Fiat Scudo, Peugeot Expert and Vauxhall Vivaro that we commended all four. They deliver car-like driving characteristics and excellent safety features, plus the choice of diesel and electric powertrains. Volkswagen's new arrival picks up where the old Transporter left off, by offering quality and capability in a great all-round package. There are standard and long wheelbases, diesel and electric power, while the Standard, Plus and Pro trims offer an increasing amount of luxury through the range.

2025 Peugeot Expert released with unchanged pricing, but no more manual
Peugeot Australia has announced a raft of upgrades including a higher payload, updated styling and extra interior equipment for its facelifted Expert mid-size commercial van, which is available now with no change to pricing. For the 2025 model year range, the other French brand's rival for the Ford Transit Custom and Renault Trafic kicks off with the Expert Pro Short Wheelbase with an eight-speed automatic transmission, with the manual gearbox previously offered in the City and Pro grades now dropped from the lineup. All variants have been given exterior styling updates including new headlights, new front and rear bumpers and the latest Peugeot logo and lettering, with an additional paint colour – Titanium Grey – also added to the options list. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. While the load areas are the same size as before, the changes increase the Expert's overall length by 24mm, to 4981mm for Short Wheelbase versions and 5331mm for the Long Wheelbase body style. The interior receives a redesigned dashboard with additional storage compartments, and both a new 10-inch digital instrument cluster and 10-inch central infotainment touchscreen as standard across the range. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard, while the driver's seat offers additional manual adjustment. Payloads have also increased, with the Short Wheelbase now offering a claimed class-leading 1350kg – up from 1280kg – and Long Wheelbase versions improving from 1237kg to 1325kg. There are no changes to the 110kW/370Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel that powers all versions of the Expert. Pricing remains unchanged, but the removal of the entry-level City Short Wheelbase manual – previously priced at $43,397 before on-road costs – means the cheapest 2025 Expert variant is now the Pro Short Wheelbase, priced at $48,990 plus on-roads. The 2025 Expert Premium Short Wheelbase remains the same at $51,990 before on-road costs, with long-wheelbase versions of both Pro and Premium adding $2500 to the list price. As mentioned, the Expert Pro Long Wheelbase manual has also been dropped, and the 2025 Peugeot Expert lineup is in Australian showrooms now.
