Modern day vans are designed with driver comfort and practicality in mind, where there are often additional features to van interiors and exteriors that make a particular model stand out. In a crowded motor market, these kinds of additions can sway buyers to make a purchase, where car companies are always looking for the next must-have feature or accessory to add to their vehicles.
When you purchase a new model, you may not immediately be aware of all of these exciting features, where it is always a good idea to have a browse through your vehicle handbook to make sure you’re not missing out on anything.
Peruse this list for an insight into just some of the more subtle features that you may be able to spot in your van.
Conversation Mirror
In recent years, it has become more common for vans, minivans and SUVs to feature an additional mirror unit that allows the driver to keep an eye on the backseats or the loading area during long drives. This is known as the conversation mirror, and is often tucked away in a compartment near the rearview mirror, where it can be pulled down for regular use.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring
Since 2014, it has been a legal requirement for vehicles to be installed with a working tyre pressure monitoring system, or TPMS, which alerts the driver when the tyres have lost pressure whilst on the road. This safety feature may only come to mind when you see the warning light, but it will always be engaged to ensure your tyres are in optimal condition.
Hidden Storage
Everyone loves a van with a practical array of interior storage options, which help to make long drives more comfortable and keep your cab space tidy. Some models may include less obvious storage compartments that are worth looking out for, including space inside armrests, under the backseats or within the dashboard area.
Extra Hooks
Most vans with a large loading area will have an array of cargo hooks for your storage convenience, but there are likely to be additional hooks throughout your motor. These could be found in the cab area and between seatrests, where they can help to secure extra materials and equipment throughout the vehicle.
Loading Tools
If your van is built with cargo in mind, then it probably has a range of less obvious features designed to make loading and unloading easier. These can include loading ramps stowed below the cargo box that can be extended, or door levers that allow the loading doors to open wider than their standard range.
