When it comes to buying a second-hand van, you will be spoilt for choice with what’s available.
Panel vans are great for business users as they provide capacious load bays, impressive pay loads and efficient powertrains, while there are lots of great examples available at Cazoo.
If you’re in the market for a van, you may have noticed lots of them having similar design elements, and that’s because there is a large joint venture among the European giant, Stellantis.
Stellantis owns many European car manufacturers such as Citroen, Fiat, Peugeot and Vauxhall, which sells vans all using the same underpinnings, powertrains and body styles with the Citroen Dispatch, Fiat Scudo, Peugeot Expert and Vauxhall Vivaro.
The Japanese firm, Toyota, also has a share in this commercial vehicle partnership with the Proace, which also sits on the same chassis and underpinnings as its European alternatives.
The question is, do these identical vans have any differences, and if so, what are they?
Here is our guide on the differences between these Stellantis-owned vans and whether any stand out more than one another.
Styling
When it comes to these vans’ styling, it really is a game of spot the difference.
All of their side profiles are pretty much identical, with tall window lines and a slab-sided stance.
It’s at the front where the changes have been made to make them feel a bit more individual. The Citroen Dispatch has a more curvaceous front end with its chevron badge running seamlessly into the front headlights, while the Vauxhall Vivaro has LED daytime running lights integrated into the front bumper and includes a larger front grille. The Peugeot Expert’s front end features slimmer front headlights and a square-shaped front grille with a chrome surrounding, while the Fiat Scudo gets a large brand logo on its nose and a larger lower grille.
The Toyota Proace, on the other hand, has a few more subtle differences with a pointier front end and a chrome ellipsoid lower front bumper design.

Interiors
Just like with their exteriors, the interior of all five vans is almost identical, with the only differences splitting them apart being the seat upholstery fabric.
All vans get the same dashboard-positioned gear lever, a three-seat front layout, physical climate control dials and a touchscreen infotainment system.
In 2022, all of these vans received updates to their exterior and interior designs, with the cabins benefiting from a few upgrades such as square-shaped steering wheels, new seat upholstery and larger infotainment screens.
Apart from those changes, all five vans utilise the same interior designs with only the badges on their steering wheels giving them any sort of individuality.
Powertrains
When it comes to engines, all five vans offer a choice of diesel and electric power.
If you go for the Citroen Dispatch or Peugeot Expert, they are available with the same 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engines that can be chosen with either 98bhp and 118bhp power outputs. There is also the option of a punchier 2.0-litre turbocharged unit that can be had with either 118 bhp and 143bhp power figures too.
The Fiat and Vauxhall are also available with a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine that have the option of 98bhp and 118bhp outputs, while the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine can be specified with either 143bhp and 177bhp.
The Toyota is available with the same 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine with a choice of 98bhp and 118bhp power outputs, while there is the option of a 2.0-litre diesel that generates either 143bhp and 177bhp.
If you want to go electric, then there are EV versions of every model mentioned. They are known as the Citroen e-Dispatch, the Fiat E-Scudo, Peugeot e-Expert, Toyota Proace Electric and Vauxhall Vivaro Electric.
All of these electric vans are available with the choice of 50kWh and 75kWh battery packs with electric motors; however, they provide slightly different claimed ranges.
The Citroen e-Dispatch with the 50kWh unit can travel a claimed 143 miles on a single charge, while the 75kWh model can manage up to 205 miles. The Fiat E-Scudo can also travel up to 143 miles with the smaller battery and 205 miles with the larger unit.
However, Peugeot’s e-Expert can achieve a claimed 148 miles with the 50kWh and 211 miles with the 75kWh powertrain, making it the best out of all of these vans when it comes to range.
The Toyota is also available with 50kWh and 75kWh battery options and provides a claimed 142 miles for the former and 205 miles on the latter. Sadly, the Vauxhall Vivaro Electric has the poorest claimed range, with the van managing just 125 miles on a single charge and 185 miles on the larger setup.
Second-hand prices
One of the most important factors to consider when it comes to deciding the differences between these vans is with second-hand prices.
Starting with the Citroen, a typical three-year-old Dispatch with less than 40,000 miles on the clock will set you back around £12,995 (inc.VAT), or £13,990 (inc.VAT) for an electric e-Dispatch.
The Fiat Scudo with low mileage is more affordable with a three-year-old 45,000-mile example on the market for £10,435 (inc.VAT), or £15,495 (inc.VAT) for an E-Scudo.
Prices for a Peugeot Expert are also affordable with a 48,000-mile 2022 model priced at £10,995 (inc.VAT), and just £11,800 (inc.VAT) for an electric e-Expert.
The Toyota Proace on the other hand are a lot rarer and for that reason, used prices are stronger with a 2022 van with 48,000 miles on the clock priced at £13,290 (inc.VAT) and £15,700 (inc.VAT) for a Proace Electric.
Vauxhall Vivaro prices are competitive with a three-year-old example on the market for £11,495 (inc.VAT) and just £12,200 (inc.VAT) for a 4,000-mile Vivaro Electric.
Warranties
All of these vans come with comprehensive manufacturers warranties.
But, this is where the Toyota Proace has the advantage over the rest of the pack as from new, the Proace comes with Toyota’s ‘Relax Warranty’ scheme, which adds a 12-month or 10,000-mile warranty onto the van every time it’s serviced by a Toyota franchised dealer until the vehicle is ten years old.
All the other Stellantis vans come with a three-year or 60,000-mile warranty as standard, or the Fiat E-Scudo is covered up to three years or 100,000 miles.
Also, if you opt for one of the electric models, then to give buyers peace of mind, all of the vans' batteries get the same eight-year or 100,000 miles of cover.
Are there any other Stellantis-based vans?
Yes, there is. In fact, the Stellantis and Toyota partnership extends to not just producing midsize panel vans, it also produces compact vans, crew vans, box vans and even tipper vans; all sharing the same chassis, underpinnings, engines, exterior and interior designs.
The most popular types are the compact and large vans. Starting with the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Toyota Proace City, which are the smallest iteration of vans as part of the venture. They are all available with efficient diesel and electric powertrains and can be specified with short and long-wheel-base variants.
There are also lots of large vans too, with the option of the Citroen Relay, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Toyota Proace Max and Vauxhall Movano. These are much taller, longer and provide a greater amount of space.
They are all equipped with the same 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine, and they can also be specified as an EV, which consists of a 110kWh battery with an electric motor to provide a claimed range up to 260 miles between trips to the plug.
Verdict
To sum up, all of these Stellantis-owned vans are more similar than you might think. The Toyota Proace has the most distinctive exterior design and the longest mechanical warranty, while the Fiat Scudo and Vauxhall Vivaro represent better value for money on the second-hand market.
Their interiors are almost identical, with hardly any changes between them and so too are their powertrains, with only the Peugeot e-Expert offering the best electric range compared to the rest.
If you need a reliable, capable and practical work van, then the Toyota Proace and Proace Electric are your best bet, as the longer warranty will be beneficial if you cover lots of miles. But, if you have a strict budget, then the Fiat Scudo and Vauxhall Vivaro's cheaper price tags might be a deal clincher.
