Peugeot Rifter
VS
When the Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Rifter go head-to-head it’s basically the same clever van in two different outfits: the Berlingo is the pragmatic hero with cavernous loadspace, clever cubbies and a soft, comfortable ride, while the Rifter dresses up the same underpinnings with sharper looks, a more polished interior and livelier steering. Choose the Berlingo if you need a no-nonsense family/workhorse that swallows bikes and shopping without fuss; pick the Rifter if you want a bit more style and sparkle when the road gets twisty.

Toyota Proace City

The Toyota Proace City, meanwhile, is the sober, tougher-minded alternative: built like a proper small van with Toyota’s dependable engineering and safety kit, ideal if you want a no-nonsense workhorse that’ll keep going and going.
