Our Guide To The Best of 4-Wheel Drive Vans

Whether you fancy yourself as an off-road explorer or are looking to add some seriously practical power to your work fleet, a four-wheel drive van is certainly the way to go.

That said, with so many great vans on the market, knowing where to start can be a real challenge. Fear not! If you find yourself gazing hopelessly at your computer screen, we’re here to help. Below, we’ll discuss the very best of four-wheel drive vans, exploring their benefits, capabilities and more.

In no particular order, read on to discover our guide to the best of 4-wheel drive vans.

Mercedes Sprinter

We thought we’d kick things off with the Mercedes Sprinter. Whether you run a business, manage a fleet or consider yourself a conversion connoisseur, the four-wheel drive Sprinter is jam-packed with potential.

Those looking for unparalleled power will certainly be impressed by the 3.0-litre V6 engine, capable of pushing 188hp; that’s some serious kick for a large van! In terms of off-road capability, it’s safe to say that Mercedes know what they’re doing.

Volkswagen Transporter

Next on our list is a no-brainer; no discussion of four-wheel drive vans would be complete without mentioning the Volkswagen Transporter. This noble vehicle has earned itself a reputation for excellence across industries, and for good reason.

Boasting a powerful TDI engine, a payload capacity of up to 1,328kg and a plethora of customisable features and in-cab tech, it’s no wonder this van is favoured by tradespeople and business owners across the globe.

Ford Transit

Last but not least, let’s look at another giant of the commercial vehicle market. We are, of course, talking about the Ford Transit. Since the Transit first hit the roads in the 1960s, the range has certainly come a long way! With a 2.0-litre EcoBlue engine and a payload of up to 2,169kg, the newest models rival the very best in the global commercial vehicle market.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"First time leasing with Vanaways, but have leased before. Initial contact was with Justin, who found the van I need very quickly at a competitive price. No hard sell, and seamless. Yasmine completed the admin and arranged delivery. Great service from both. Follow up calls to see if I was satisfied with van. Professional and efficient, would highly recommend."

"I recently bought a new car from this company and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Tyler and Steve C were both brilliant to deal with – friendly, professional and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They took the time to answer all my questions and made everything straightforward and stress-free. The customer service was excellent and I never felt pressured at any point. Both Tyler and Steve C really went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted and that I was happy with the car. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would definitely buy from them again in the future. Thanks again for such a great experience!"
