A quick look at our most popular vans in 2024

Well, it’s the end of another year. It’s been a pretty busy one for us here at Van Discount, and so we thought we’d take a moment to look back at some of the most popular vans that have struck a chord with our customers this year. If you’ve used us for the best van deals this year, you may have even bought one yourself! So, what were the top performers, and what exactly did our customers like so much about them? 

Ford Transit Custom

The Ford Transit Custom tops these kinds of lists fairly consistently, and no wonder there’s no question that it’s earned its place as a go-to option, offering an exceptional combination of practicality and modern features. Its flexibility is unmatched, with a choice of short or long wheelbases, high or low roofs, and seating configurations to suit nearly every need. Beyond its practical load space, which accommodates anything from construction tools to bulky goods, the Transit Custom is also famed for its smooth and comfortable ride.

This year’s model introduced even more technological enhancements, such as an upgraded Sync 4 infotainment system that pairs seamlessly with your smartphone, turning the cabin into a mobile office. As ever, safety has also remained a key focus, with the inclusion of advanced driver aids like pre-collision assist and traffic sign recognition to make every journey safer. With electric and plug-in hybrid options available, the Transit Custom also provides an excellent option to anyone who wants to embrace greener driving without sacrificing power or payload capacity. 

Vauxhall Vivaro

The Vauxhall Vivaro continues to deliver the goods – literally – with its smart design and efficient performance. Available in diesel and fully electric options, the Vivaro is a van that adapts to your specific needs. The electric Vivaro-e stands out for its impressive range of up to 205 miles on a single charge, making it perfect for urban areas and beyond, where zero-emission driving is becoming a necessity.

Step into the Vivaro, and you’ll notice its cabin is designed with the user in mind. It features a well-placed digital display, a highly intuitive infotainment system, and excellent visibility, all of which make the driving experience both efficient and enjoyable. Loading and unloading couldn’t be easier thanks to the rear and side doors, which open wide enough to accommodate the most awkwardly shaped items. Whether you’ve used it for moving heavy equipment or running everyday errands, the Vivaro has proven to be as dependable as it is economical.

On top of its practical capabilities, the Vivaro has also earned praise for its low running costs and reliability, which means less time in the garage and more time out on the road getting the job done. It’s been a van that punches well above its weight in 2024.

Ford Ranger

When your needs go beyond the everyday and into the demanding, the Ford Ranger is there to take on the challenge. In short, it’s a pick-up built to work just as hard as you do. With its muscular design and impressive off-road capability, the Ranger has been the choice for anyone tackling rugged environments, particularly in rural environments.

Under the bonnet, you’ll find an engine line-up that combines power with efficiency, giving you confidence in its ability to tow heavy loads or conquer tough trails. The Ranger’s practicality doesn’t stop there; it also offers a spacious cargo bed, perfect for hauling tools, supplies, or recreational gear. The double cab model provides space for passengers, making it a versatile option for both professional and personal use.

This year’s updates included a suite of technology upgrades, such as a large central touchscreen with connectivity options and driver aids like hill descent control and terrain management. It’s the perfect combination of reliable workhorse and weekend warrior. 

Renault Trafic

If style and versatility are high on your list, the Renault Trafic has been the van to beat in 2024. Its sleek exterior is matched by a clever interior layout that makes it one of the most practical options in its class. With multiple configurations to choose from, including long or short wheelbases and various roof heights, the Trafic has been able to handle nearly any task you’ve thrown its way.

One of the highlights of the Trafic is its outstanding fuel efficiency, which ensures lower running costs over the long haul. The engines deliver smooth power and refined handling, making it feel more like driving a car than a traditional van. Inside, the cabin is designed to keep you comfortable and focused, featuring a user-friendly dashboard, supportive seats, and modern tech like a touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone integration.

There’s plenty more features to enjoy too, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and emergency braking assisting you on busy roads. The Trafic has truly offered the best of both worlds – style and substance – which is why it’s been a firm favourite so far, and is likely to remain so as we move into 2025.
