Citroen Dispatch Light Van Commercial...
Citroen's latest generation Dispatch is a very different proposition to its predecessor. For a start it's available with a choice of two wheelbases and roof heights and the smallest one is bigger than its predecessor.
The Citroen diesel engine line-up is good, starting with a 90 bhp 1.6-litre which develops peak torque of 132 Ib/ft 1,750rpm. There are also two 2.0-litre HDis, one rated at 120 bhp with the other capable of 136 bhp and fitted with a particulate filter. Torque outputs are 221 Ib/ft and 236 Ib/ft respectively.
The front wheels are driven via a five speed manual gearbox in the case of the 1.6 with the two 2-litre units benefiting from a six-speeder. Service intervals are 20,000 miles across the board.
All three engines provide a smooth delivery of torque across the rev-range. The 120 2-litre is the mainstay of the range.
As with the model it replaces, the latest Citroen Dispatch comes with two sliding side doors and twin side-hinged rear doors as standard. Load area capacity is either 5.0m³, 6.0m³ or 7.0m³ depending on the configuration; the high roof option is only available on the long-wheelbase chassis.
Load length is either 2,254mm or 2,584mm and gross payloads range from 1,000kg to 1,200kg. The cab has a modern, airy feeling and the driving position is comfortable, despite a slight off-set to the steering wheel. The gear stick is facia-mounted and set at a good height, but it restricts cross-cab movement which is a shame.
As with the Citroen Relay, Trafficmaster's Smartnav package is included in the asking price.
Dispatch comes with a three year/100,00 miles warranty with mileage limit for the first two years.
The Citroen Dispatch has turned into a versatile range of vans and we heartily applaud the standard fitment of ABS.
