Citroen has unveiled the new Citroen Dispatch VTR, a sporty and stylish special edition of the light commercial vehicle.

The Citroen Dispatch VTR uses the French brand’s well known performance badge as a nod to fondly remembered models such as the Citroen Saxo and Citroen C2. And as a prelude to Citroen’s debut in Formula E motorsport at the end of this year.

The Dispatch VTR has a unique body kit and a bold VTR livery, offered on both panel van and crew cab versions.

The styling pack includes a front lip spoiler, side skirts with integrated front mud guards and a rear spoiler. It also features a rear bumper styled to integrate with the rear spoiler and side skirts, plus diamond-cut Dynamic 18-inch alloy wheels unique to the model, fitted with high-load capacity Nankang tyres.

Inside, it has sports-inspired ‘eco-leather’ seats, embossed with the VTR logo, red stitching, and perforated seat faces.

A Comfort Pack is fitted as standard, which includes dual-zone electronic climate control, keyless entry and start and wireless charging, plus a Winter Pack with a heated leather steering wheel, heated driver’s seat, and thorax side airbags.

The electric Citroen e-Dispatch VTR comes with a 75kWh battery and up to 230 miles of combined range (WLTP), while the BlueHDi diesel has a 2.0-litre 180PS engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Available in three colour options – Icy White, Perla Nera Black and Blue Lagoon – the Citroen Dispatch VTR will be available from £41,895 on-the-road, with the electric version eligible for the PiVG (Plug-in Vehicle Grant).

Why is the classification of vans so confusing?

I am looking to buy a facelifted 2025 Citroen Berlingo either petrol or diesel, but the vehicle classifications are maddeningly confusing. Seemingly identical vehicles are either classed as M1 (i.e a car) and others are N1 (i.e a van), albeit one with windows. I don’t understand it. On a separate note is it possible to get the DVLA to change a vehicle classification?
The general rule here is that the Citroen Berlingo Multispace is M1 (a car) and that the Berlingo crew van (N1) is a van – albeit a five-seater with windows. It all depends on if the vehicle was designed t be used as a car or as a commercial vehicle – the Multispace is much plusher and doesn't have as many lashing points in the load area, whereas the Berlingo crew van has an enclosed rear. You can apply to DVLA to change the classification of a vehicle, but you'll need to prove it has been altered to meet the new classification.
