What are the new vans coming soon, and which will be heading to the UK in 2025? Here’s our list of new models and updated vans going on sale in 2025 and 2026.
As we move towards a greener future, an increasing number of new vans will be launched with electrified and hydrogen powertrains. Our list includes petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric and hydrogen vans.
Don’t forget, you can also find new vans and used vans for sale via Parkers as well, as well as info about pickups coming soon, the electric pickups that might or might not be on their way to the UK.
What are the new vans coming soon to the UK?
There’s a good mix of medium and large vans landing in the UK in 2025 and beyond. Familiar names like Renault, Volkswagen and Vauxhall are adding new powertrains to existing models as the UK starts to increase its use of electric and hydrogen-powered vans.
New appearances are expected from Kia which has, until now, operated solely in the passenger car domain. The manufacturer is taking on the commercial vehicle segment with a range of electric vans following the electrification of Kia’s car range with the likes of the Kia EV9 and the new Kia EV3.
As well as existing brands in the UK market, the Chinese vehicle maker Skywell is due to bring its electric van here after recently launching the Skywell BE11 SUV. We’re also due to see the first model from the UK startup WEVC (Watt Electric Vehicle Company).
List of new vans coming soon
Here are the new vans coming soon in 2025 and beyond.
2025 Volkswagen Transporter
A familiar face with plug-in hybrid and electric options
The seventh generation Volkswagen Transporter is due to be available from early 2025. Volkswagen will continue to offer front-wheel and all-wheel drive turbocharged diesel options alongside new electrified powertrains. For the first time in the model’s history, Transporter will be available with plug-in hybrid and all-electric powertrains.
For standard wheelbase versions, load space inside has increased by more than 10% to 5.8m3. The long wheelbase and high roof variant maximise space to 9m3. To make use of this extra space, Volkswagen has improved the Transporter’s maximum payload by 130kg to 1,330kg. Towing capacity has also grown to 2,800kg, up by 300kg.
The entry-level, standard wheelbase diesel version starts from £30,995 rising to £37,045 (excl. VAT) for the 150hp engine. The all-electric variant is priced from £41,965 to £45,015 (excl. VAT).
2025 Volkswagen Crafter
New tech-focused interior, unchanged exterior
Unlike the VW Transporter which will look noticeably different in 2025, the Volkswagen Crafter is receiving a more subtle facelift with a focus on a new interior and additional safety features. The infotainment system has been updated with a new 10.4-inch touchscreen as standard or an optional 12.9-inch display.
Crafter will also benefit from safety systems such as front assist, an autonomous emergency braking system which has the ability to detect pedestrians and cyclists. Other assistance features include a lane keeping system, road sign display, and front and rear parking sensors as standard.
2025 Kia PV5
The first van from the passenger car manufacturer
Until now Kia has only operated in the passenger vehicle space but as of 2025 the company will branch out into commercial vehicles. Its van line up is dubbed PBVs which stands for Platform Beyond Vehicle and will only be available with electric drivetrains. Expect the UK team to just call them vans, though. The new Kia PV5 model is Kia’s medium-sized panel van, available with a high roof option or as a chassis cab.
Few details beyond its dimensions have been released yet. The panel van version is 4,645mm long, 1,900mm wide and either 1,900mm tall for the standard roof height or 2,200mm with the high roof. This puts it closer to a long-wheelbase Citroen Berlingo or the Volkswagen ID.Buzz than a typical medium van like the Ford Transit Custom.
Kia has also set its sights on using the PV5 as a base for a self-driving people carrier, the PV5-R. With plans for advanced technology elsewhere in the range, it’s likely the PV5 will be packed with new tech and safety features.
2025 Ineos Grenadier Commercial
Designed for off-road deliveries and rescue missions
Ineos has replaced its Utility Wagon model with the new Grenadier Commercial. The vehicle looks like the standard Ineos Grenadier from the outside with the addition of aluminium panels replacing the rear windows. Inside, there’s just two seats and a flat load space behind the cargo barrier. The Grenadier Commercial has capacity to hold a 1,200mm x 800mm Euro pallet and over 2,000 litres of load space.
For those who plan to use the Grenadier Commercial to tow, it has an impressive, braked towing capacity up to 3.5-tonne. Ineos designed the vehicle to be predominately used off-road, so it also comes equipped with a winch that is powerful enough to move up to 5.5-tonnes.
Just like the passenger vehicle range, the Grenadier Commercial comes with the choice of a 3.0-litre petrol or diesel BMW engine paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. In its base specification prices start from £51,931 (excl. VAT).
2025 Vauxhall Movano Hydrogen
Hybrid hydrogen version of Vauxhall’s largest van incoming
In addition to the Movano Electric, Vauxhall has announced the Movano Hydrogen which will be powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology. The large van has an official range of 311 miles and takes less than five minutes to refuel.
The Vauxhall Movano Hydrogen has an electric motor with 150hp and maximum torque of 410Nm. The system also uses an 11kWh battery to provide the same instant acceleration as an EV and power when the van starts up. This creates a hybrid system where the battery is used for some added oomph. The Movano Hydrogen is also due to include a regenerative braking system to recover energy on the move.
As hydrogen is stored as a gas, tanks can take up more space than the equivalent capacity needed in petrol and diesel vehicles. However, the tanks are said to be packaged to minimise the impact on load space. In the largest variant, cargo space will be 17m3 with a payload up to 1,370kg.
2025 Vauxhall Vivaro Hydrogen
Finally, a right-hand drive model
Under the Opel brand, the Vivaro Hydrogen has already been on sale in a left-hand drive configuration for European markets. Following the start of UK trials, it’s expected to arrive with the Movano Hydrogen in 2025.
The Vivaro Hydrogen uses a 45kW fuel cell and 10.5kWh lithium-ion battery to provide an official range of 249 miles. Although it’s predominantly fuelled by hydrogen, the Vivaro Hydrogen is a plug-in hybrid with a battery electric range of up to 31 miles.
While combustion engine variants can offer better payload capacity, the hydrogen model will still be able to carry a respectable 1,000kg.
2025 Nissan Interstar
Look familiar? Think Renault Master
The Nissan Interstar is essentially a rebadged Renault Master with a few other tweaks. We delve into more of the similarities and differences in our 2025 Nissan Interstar-e van review, but the overview is Nissan offers a longer five-year, 100,000-mile warranty and more diesel and battery options.
Interstar buyers get a choice of two heights, two lengths, four diesel engines and two batteries. As Nissan offers a smaller 40kWh battery with a range of 124 miles, its entry-level electric price is cheaper than the Master which is only available with the larger 87kWh battery.
Opting for an electric version won’t be a significant penalty on payload if you can work with a 124-mile or 285-mile range. Depending on wheelbase and height specifications, Interstar-e payloads vary from 1,047kg to 1,631kg with braked towing capacities up to either 1,500kg or 2,000kg.
2025 Skywell 233
A new take on the electric van from China
Skywell is a Chinese brand that’s set to launch its 233 model at the Commercial Vehicle Show in April 2025. As of yet we don’t know what its official name is going to be, but all will be revealed at its UK debut along with pricing information. The large van broke cover for the first time in October 2024 at the Paris Motor Show and we expect Skywell to start taking orders before the end of 2025.
Details released so far indicate the van will come in two lengths, two heights and two gross vehicle weights – 3.5 or 4.25 tonnes. The theme continues with two battery options as well, either an 88 or 105kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack.
2025 Dacia Spring Cargo
Baby van designed for city driving
The smallest of the news vans coming soon is the Dacia Spring Cargo. In its passenger form the 2025 Dacia Spring has been long awaited, offering one of the most affordable entry-points to electric motoring in the UK. Its van version is no different with prices starting from £14,995 (excl. VAT), it also qualifies for a £2,500 discount through the UK Plug in Van Grant (PiVG).
The new Dacia Spring Cargo is likely to spend its life in the city, darting between traffic and delivering parcels. It comes with a 26.8 kWh for an official range of 186 miles and fast charging is supposed to be able to take it from 20 to 80% charge in around 45 minutes. In the back there’s 1,085 litres of load space which could, theoretically, be organised to carry payloads up to 370kg.
2025 Renault Master Hydrogen
Completing the fuel types with hydrogen
We rate the Renault Master, having named it the Parkers Van of the Year for 2025, while the E-Tech version was our electric van of the year. But there are more new vans coming soon from Renault, though, as the brand has announced the Master will be available with a hydrogen powertrain from 2025, slotting in alongside the diesel and electric models. Customers will have the choice of 7.5 or 9kg of hydrogen storage on board for up to 435 miles of range.
The hydrogen van will be built in France with the rest of the Master range. Load space and payloads are expected to be similar to the Master E-Tech. As for pricing, Renault hasn’t announced any figures yet. Just like electric vans, it stands to reason hydrogen vans will be more expensive than their combustion counterparts in the initial roll out phases.
2026 Renault Estafette
Will it combine the best of three worlds?
The Renault Estafette was only revealed as a concept in 2024, but is anticipated to be available as soon as 2026. The small electric van was designed in collaboration with Flexis – a joint venture by the Renault Group, Volvo Group and CMA CGM Group. While concrete details have yet to be confirmed, Renault says the aim is to combine the Kangoo L2’s length, the Clio’s agility and the Trafic L1H2’s load capacity.
The Estafette van is expected to be a tech-focused model with software systems leveraged to help maximise performance and efficiency. Renault plans for real-time updates and predictive maintenance to reduce operator costs by as much as 30%.
2026 Kia PV7
Kia’s largest electric van
As the name suggests, the PV7 is the PV5’s slightly larger sibling and Kia’s second van model due to launch. Expected to be available to order from 2026, the PV7 is a large electric panel van and currently the largest planned in Kia’s van range.
Since its launch is still a way off, few details have been released. However, Kia has confirmed the PV7 will build on the PV5, offering more space and advanced software solutions and services. Kia suggests the PV7 is suitable for a variety of applications such as furniture removals and large appliance deliveries.
2026 WEVC eCV1
Startup UK manufacturer puts its hat in the ring
After revealing a concept version of the eCV1 at the 2023 Commercial Vehicle Show, WEVC (Watt Electric Vehicle Company) now has a production version eCV1 in testing. It’s still not set to be available until at least 2026 but it’s expected to disrupt the large electric van market with its central driving seat.
Despite packing the battery into the structure rather than bolting it on, WEVC hasn’t quite managed to revolutionise the van enough to offer outstanding payloads. A 3.5-tonne model will handle up to 1,000kg while the 4.25-tonne is rated up to 1,750kg.
Ranges and pricing will be announced closer to the time, but we expect the eCV1 to be able to travel more than 200 miles on a single charge.
