Stellantis adds Plus trim level to van range

Among the extra features offered with Plus trim is an enhanced infotainment system. In place of the standard smartphone station, there is a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and natural voice recognition. In addition, the single passenger and solid bulkhead are replaced by a three-seat bench seat with a load-through bulkhead, offering greater practicality and increasing load volume to up to 4.4 cubic metres. There is also an electric park brake on all versions.

This is on top of the standard specification included on the entry-level trim, which includes air conditioning, a six-way adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, cruise control with speed limiter and steering wheel mounted audio controls.

All versions also come with a choice of diesel and electric powertrains. Featuring a 52kWh battery and 136PS (100kW) electric motor, the electric versions can travel up to 213 miles on a single charge (WLTP combined cycle) and can be recharged from 0-80 per cent in 30 minutes at a 100kW public charging station.

The electric versions offer up to 4.4 cubic metres of storage space (the same as their combustion engine siblings), a best-in-class payload of 781kg, as well as an impressive towing capacity (braked) of 750kg.

Customers opting for a diesel model can choose between 100PS and 130PS versions of a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Plus trim is available exclusively with the 100PS version which is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, while the more powerful 130PS version comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Citroen Berlingo Enterprise Plus and Fiat Doblo Plus start at £21,595 (CV OTR), the Peugeot Partner Professional Plus starts at £23,055 and the Vauxhall Combo Prime Plus starts at £23,575.
