It offers a standout range accessible, with models covering the 3,500kg to 7,000kg gross-weight territory. There are window vans, case and group taxicab variations, and also the heavy duty 4×4 models. Our focus here is the models up to 3,500kg GVW, which incorporates the four body lengths and three rooftop statures of the total Daily van line-up. Crew-cab vans are incorporated into the range, all in view of the H2 medium-height rooftop variations.

This makes it more hard to contrast and different models. So, the Daily is decently fuel proficient, particularly with the littler 2.3-litre diesel motor. The twin-turbo engine 205bhp 3.0-litre motor is the most intense motor offered in a van in the UK, so hope to pay higher protection premiums for this model. Benefit interims of 25,000 miles are longer than the Ford Transit’s 20,000 miles, or the Mercedes Sprinter’s 24,000 miles, however practically identical with the Citroen Relay, Nissan NV 400, Peugeot Boxer, Renault Master and Vauxhall Movano.

Then again, an extensive body on a 3,500kg GVW van presses the payload and the greatest Daily at this weight offers a gross payload of 1,185kg, contrasted and 1,500kg for the littlest body.
Thus, in the event that you work with high payloads, you’ll have to match body measure painstakingly with payload prerequisites to abstain from over-burdening. The Daily is one of the broadest vans in its class, with a heap space width of 1,800mm. Just the Citroen Relay, Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Boxer offer more width at 1,870mm.
Models with single back wheels offer 1,320mm between wheel curves, with space for an Euro pallet to fit between, whichever way round. This width is lessened to 1,030mm for twin back wheel models, however this is sufficiently still for an Europallet set lengthways.

Like most vans, a driver’s airbag is standard gear, however traveler and window airbags are alternatives.
The Daily has been around for quite a while and the most recent diesel motors have been being used for a few years.
