Top 10 Best Medium Sized Vans In 2020

FLEXED – Specialists in Short Term Car & Van Leases

 

If you’re on the lookout for a van that balances size with ease of use, then a medium sized van is probably just what you need, as it offers more space inside than a small van whilst not being as bulky as a large van.

The mid-range van is the ideal size if you require a bigger vehicle for carrying bulky and heavy loads without compromising on performance and drivability, plus many of the ones available to choose from these days offer much better fuel economy than ever before.

All vans featured in our Top 10 list (that are in no particular order) offer copious amounts of payload and cargo volume, whilst the body length and wheelbase can differ depending on your own personal requirements, with some even offering high roof options, so no matter what your medium sized van is needed for, you’ll have no problem finding the right one for you or your business.

And of course, if you lease a van from Flexed, you can add company decals to your vehicle but you must get permission first from your finance provider before going ahead with any modifications and these have to be removed at the end of your lease term without causing any damage to the vehicle.

Most medium sized vans come with three seats in the cab and offer smart loading options to help when carrying extra long items that won’t fit into the loading area. The quality of the cab has been boosted over the years, with soft-touch materials being used and a good deal of infotainment options on offer too such as voice control, touchscreen sat-nav, smartphone connectivity and lots of USB and 12-Volt charging options to help you stay connected whilst out on the road.

Some of today’s modern vans even feature a clever option that allows you to switch traction control which when combined with much chunkier tyres, allows for better grip in the mud or snow – ideal if you’re working on a construction site where the ground can be pretty rough, muddy and uneven.

Here at Flexed, we specialise in short term car & van leases and long term rentals. Whether you’re a private individual who requires a larger vehicle for a short period of time or you’re a company owner looking for a van to help with the running of your business, we can help.
