Parkers – the definitive resource for car buying advice in the UK – has partnered Angling Times to bring you the award for the Best Medium Van in its prestigious New Car Awards 2023. The winner is the Ford Transit Custom, one of a total of 24 award winners revealed by Parkers (10 October).
The Ford Transit Custom is the bestselling van in the UK by a huge margin. It’s also our favourite medium-sized van – and that’s no surprise, given it’s so enjoyable to drive, as the widest range of trim and a suite of clever tech includes to make the driver’s life as easy as possible. A plug-in hybrid and electric version are available, and built-in connectivity that’s useful to businesses of all sizes.
Keith Adams, editor of Parkers said: ‘The Transit Custom is a two-time overall winner of our Van of the Year Award and nothing has changed to dim our appreciation for the UK’s best-selling van. There is a phenomenal strength and breadth to the range, with an array of different sizes, engines and bodystyles to choose from.’
It finishes ahead of the Toyota Proace and the Volkswagen Transporter, both of which are well-made and backed up with an efficient network of specialists.
Keith Adams, Parkers.co.uk editor, added: ‘In this year’s New Car Awards, we’re excited to have come up with such an interesting selection of winners.
