- 2018 Commercial Car of the Year: Best large van
If you have got a big job you need a large van and these are some of the biggest in the business.
Read in-depth review of winner: www.drive.com.au/car-of-the-y... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Living here in the states, we have the rebranded Fiat as the Ram ProMaster. That's my baby! Mine has the Chrysler Pentastar V-6 engine and 6 speed automatic. A much better drive train for sure. I came this close to buying the Ford Transit but chose the Ram in the end and am extremely happy with my choice.
I don't know if the v6 is better, it burns more, so the ratio of power to fuel consumption is worse, and after all, it's not a racing van anyway, there is probably a speed limit in America, eh?
I bought 2 months ago 2011 Fiat Ducato L1H1 Multijet100.
It is very good van.Fuel consumption is superb.In one occasion in highway,I was able to bring it 4.9L/100 km.Overall fuel consumption is 5.9 to 6.2/100km.
Ducato super van
No Renault Master? How come?
Thanks a lot!
How can you not test turning radius?
Those half automatics gearboxes aren't a thing here in Europe, everybody overhere hates them just as much. Transit is basically the best, Ford really did a great job on the latest Transit range. About the payload, in Europe we can order the Transits in different payload options. We have a Transit Custom length 2 320 for example, in which 320 stands for the max weight of the vehicle without towing can be 3200 kg. Its noticeable in the bit higher rear suspension, and if loaded up the rideheight doesn't go down as much as on other vans. We needed the high payload quite a lot but it must also fit in garages, thats why the Custom was the best option.
Transit is the best shown in the video because the merc wasn't there. Nothing comes close to a merc auto box, not even vag groups DSG
The Merc couldn't make it there because it rusted and the body fell off on the way hahaha
Actually Crafter in Europe is available with an 8 gear ZF proper auto gearbox, which is a marvel. Same thing for Daily, although I'm not sure if those are the same exact models. Also Crafter is available with RWD and AWD, although RWD is only in bigger versions, not the H1.
Merc however is not that good anymore. It drives well, is quiet, but the electric steering really won't let you feel the road. Also the quality of interior is not good.
well good luck with injectors...I think you will really need it...needless to say what a disaster the previous 2.2 ford puma was with same issues ..injectors and cylinder heads....and 2 litres for a 1500 kg van...too low...it will not last....and good luck with new system with the cam belt dipped in oil...it will be like a russian lottery...it might be very good ...or yet another major ford disaster.....ford ethos...sell them cheap.....clients will come back soon for another one....fed up with them
Weren't these cars made like 15 years ago? Quite a lot of time, don't you think?
And the winner is....
Whoever spends the most with Fairfax media.. lmao
What happen to the Sprinter or Master in this large van comparison?
The sprinter rusted to dust before they could review it
Waste of a review without Sprinter.
So are most vans down under 🇦🇺automatic?
I never seen an automatic van in the U.K. ever 🇬🇧
ALL GOOD VANS AND USEFUL
*🤗Bravo ✔Ford For Transitioning The Ford Transit into Victory🌞🗺*
At the end of the day there all good, people just don't service them right. One major problem in Australia
Thank you
I drive the 2016 3 litre Iveco much better then my old Mercedes and large Toyota vans this Iveco is strong can carry a big load handles great on the road even when not loaded cheaper by 10k for same set-up to Mercedes
I have a Iverco Daily 2017, I have owned Fiat Ducato, and Mercedes sprinter, The Ducato was very reliable, but was lightly built under neath and the gearbox was OK. The sprinter was good but it wasn't real fast, I enjoyed driving it.. The Iverco is fast in a straight line , built really strong underneath, and big inside, it hasn't had time to prove itself yet, I did have to replace the EGR valve at 44k , they had to remove the transmission to do it which was a bit disappointing, The Iverco Daily gets good reviews overseas, in New Zealand where I live, its not a common van, so as I said it has to prove itself, but looking good so far.
So how did the Iveco perform? Its already 2 years now ^^
its adds of Ford
i don't care who win in your list, im big boy and I will choose winner my self for me 😉
I can't wait antil 3 weeks to get y new ford transit 2020 350L
the crafter isnt rwd anymore?
was gonna say, in the review they mentioned the iveco only being the rwd one there
THE NEW ONE...2017...NOW BUILT BY VW IN POLAND...YOU CAN HAVE FWD......RWD...OR AWD......PREVIOUS ONE WAS MOSTLY RWD OR AWD...NO FWD.....LIKE PREVIOUS SPRINTER...SAME WITH NEW SPRINTER....FWD ALSO POSSIBLE
I hate how manufacturers are pushing for FWD & automatic transmissions. I don't know any drivers who thank them for that.
Ducato is the best
Top Van = Transit. Yeah right, wheres the Merc?
Rusted before it got there
At the mechanic getting a engine warning light fixed....for $5K
what's wrong with manual mate! it's the best.
Sprinter ??
Unfortunately Mercedes didn't have one available.
Test drove a 1yr old Transit with 45k on it and a 4 yr old Merc Sprinter with 156k as I was after a LWB van to replace my MWB. The Mercedes quality was very evident and the van seemed the fresher of the 2, even though it was older with a higher mileage. These guys must not have heard of the Mercedes. Fiat and maybe Iveco use the shit box. The Sprinter auto box is superb as is the VW DSG box.
Iveco has dumped the auto selct gearbox for an 8 speed ZF
What is the absolutely largest van interior wise (length, height, width) in the market atm?
Iveco daily
VW Crafter L5..18 cubic meters..
Where is the MB Sprinter?
We requested one for testing however Mercedes-benz did not have one to loan us. Hopefully next year!
It's there, VW Crafter :-D
BraatenSafe the new crafter is pure VW. Not a sprinter anymore
They had one delivered for the test, but sadly it rusted away before they could drive it.
My favorıt ducato 8van
iveco is best
Salam
Ford employees reviewing ford vans!!! I don't think so lol
... up´s usually Volkswagen sells the new Crafter all over the globus with the 177 HP diesel engine and 8 speed automatic with the choose of front, rear or all wheel drive. The Transit is in the gas engine with 310 hp and automatic trans. very nice and not underpowered, the Fiat has only for the north america, china ect. marked a nice 280 hp V6 with a torque converter automatic transmission. The Transit will show up late 2019 as a 2020 model with a 185 hp diesel engine, 10 speed automatic and 4x4 option.
Nobody even mentioned the MAN TGE
MAN TGE is a 100% VW Crafter, just with other logo
FROGOT THE RENAULT MASTER?
YUO MAEN TEH RNEAULT MSATER ?
Sprintrrrrrrrrr v6 plz
YES THE BEST IF YOU HAVE THE $$$$$$$,,,,BUT NEW SPRINTERS ARE NOT AS RELIABLE.....ANTI CONTAMINATION SYSTEMS
I’d prefer to drive a rear wheel drive / manual box van any day over some front wheel drive semi auto electronically controlled gearbox.
With a full payload starting off on a steep hill kills a fwd clutch, and their turning circle is hopeless compared to a rear wheel drive unit.
Bring back the WB panel van!!
The current range of vans are getting worse year after year, and more expensive, just like the fuel.
Sad, oh so sad.
ALL THE WAY.....IF YOU WANT RELIABILITY THERE YOU HAVE IT...RWD AND MANUAL....BUT COMPANIES HAVE THE $.....AUTOS ARE CONFY TO DRIVE...BUT MAINTENANCE MAYBE MORE THAN DOUBLE....LIFE EXPECTANCY...A THIRD.....THAT IS LIFE
AND MUCH EASIER TO REPAIR...THUS.. CHEAPER....APART FROM BEING REPAIRED LESS...RWD AND MANUAL...WAY TO GO
front wheel drive is so you can have a low loading height in the back door.
@@robertvanruyssevelt7159 google Hyundai iLoad - possibly the last of its breed,
@@jamesmcgowen1769 Hyundai i-Load is going FWD "to allow a lower load height at the rear doors"
Renault Master💪💪💪
Master is the winner, thanks
Transit is the best vans in the world
I would say it is THE WORST VAN IN THE WORLD....FORD PUMA 2.2 (2198 CC)...NEED I SAY MORE? what a fiasco
Yea your right
Who has an auto in a van
Ford transit - 😂😂😂😂
Ford Transit the best.
Those vans are expensive, For us couriers who for the most are on Ad Hoc delivery work just not enough money being made for us to afford those vans,, Permanent run making regular good $s, well you go transit , Sprinter if you have enough $s or if you game Fait, Renault but both have had expensive components that fail , Fait Renault auto is known to be a box that fails expensive fix,, VW engine issues, What are we using that has a barn doors takes a flogging and some how keeps going and not to expensive to purchase. the LD yep Chinese van non flash ugly duckling, do regular service, timing belt early and drive it like you stole it and the bugger keeps going why don't know,, their are LD out their with over half a million on clock yes some dints, missing paint still working hard. They road tested them out in New Zealand where some clocked up nearly million kms,, Not bad for cheap Chinese box on 4 wheels,
I hadn’t heard of them so went and googled. They don’t review well by owners. www.productreview.com.au/listings/ldv-v80
Vw or MAN has Strange Box and has no Power..Iveco ist weird..Ford ist ok .but the Best ist Fiat Ducato with 2.3 jtd..You have Power and Stay very Well in the Road..
The question is..... would I be a fool to buy a 2019 Iveco Daily with 509,000km on the clock!?!?!?
Probably
I think the iveco is a good van and must win because Ford transit have a low payload
WELL SAID.....MUCH BETTER ENGINE...ONLY LETDOWN LONG TERM...MIGHT BE ELECTRICS
Crafter and TGE are shit, unreliable as hell! Master is undestroyable, daily and sprinter have better options tho
NR ONE ON THE WORLD
MERCEDES BENZ SPRINTER
Rust got to it too quick
put 100k miles on these per year and you soon find out who's talking through their hat
Ford is nice inside but outside is horrible...
What a truly awful review, the vans tested are not even comparable, as for transit winning looks like they sponsored this video
Euro vans are the best in the world. However Australians will stick to dangerous to crash Toyota Hiaces.
Your comment did not age too well.
The new Hiace models (the ones that now come with a long hood in front) are now rated best in class in terms of safety.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior Yes but still not much on par on other European vans. Reliability ofc Toyota maybe the answer automatically...
But in collection, I’d take the Iveco, Sprinter and Crafter all day of the week.
We're is the mercedes sprinter his the best of all vans the others are nothing
It used to be. The new one is dreadful.
@@mikebird7161 no the new sprinter is much better the other vans are nothing no other van have a v6 engine it exists too a sprinter with a v12 engine others have nothing sprinter is the best and no other vans
Sorinter power and nicest most hi tech van. Period. End of discussion.
