Choose the Relay if...
The Relay covers the same broad range of lengths, heights and GVWs as its Boxer sibling, and is chosen by UK fleets on similar terms: load volume and conversion flexibility over brand cachet.
Ranges are as published on Citroen's UK model page and are not broken down there by individual L/H/GVW combination; treat the figures as the spread across the range rather than a single variant.
Full specifications →Choose the Vivaro if...
The Vivaro is Vauxhall's medium-van answer to the Transit Custom, with Medium and Long/XL body lengths and a battery-electric option aimed at fleets moving to zero-emission urban delivery.
Figures cover diesel 120hp/150hp and battery-electric 136hp derivatives across Medium and Long/XL panel van lengths; unbraked towing is 750 kg across the range.
