best van 2023 Page 115

Chasing the best van of 2023? In Australia, the Toyota HiAce is the dependable workhorse—tough, holds value, and sips diesel like it’s counting the cents.

The Hyundai Staria Load serves up limo-like comfort and tech with a cavernous cargo bay, even if it looks like a spaceship parked at Bunnings.

Ford’s Transit Custom is the driver’s choice: sharp to steer, clever cabin, and proper payloads, though country dealers can be a game of “guess who’s open.”

Mercedes-Benz Vito is polished and comfy, but parts and servicing can sting harder than a bluebottle on Bondi.

Choose on payload, load length, door layout, and service access—your back and budget will thank you.
