Welcome to our review of 🚐 the new Citroën Jumpy and new Logo, a versatile panel van that sits comfortably within the Stellantis quartet of van brands. While Citroën leads the compact sector with its popular Berlingo, the Jumpy – also known as the Dispatch – is here to prove its worth in the mid-size van category.

Engine Options and Performance
The Citroën Jumpy offers two diesel engine options: a 1.5-litre and a 2.0-litre unit. The 1.5-litre diesel produces 118hp and 221lb/ft of torque, making it smooth and quiet, perfect for everyday city driving and light loads. On the other hand, the 2.0-litre diesel ups the ante with 142bhp and 251lb/ft of torque, ideal for those needing a bit more power to handle heavier loads.

Both engines come with a six-speed manual gearbox, which is light to operate but can feel a bit vague and rubbery. If you're looking for a more engaging driving experience, the 2.0-litre model with an eight-speed automatic gearbox is the way to go, offering an additional 22lb/ft of torque and a more refined driving experience.

Interior and Technology
Inside, the Jumpy is designed with practicality in mind. The entry-level Enterprise model includes a 10-inch digital instrument display, which is clear and crisp, providing essential information at a glance. Higher trims, like the Driver spec, include connected navigation, making your journeys even more convenient. The Jumpy's digital rearview display, which includes a small picture-in-picture from a side-mounted camera, helps with covering blind spots – although it can take some getting used to.

Cargo Capacity
One of the Jumpy’s standout features is its impressive cargo capacity. Depending on the model, you can carry up to 1,384kg, which outperforms many rivals in its class. This makes it a strong contender for businesses that require significant load capacity. However, the 1.5-litre model has a slightly lower gross vehicle mass, reducing its cargo capacity by around 200kg.

Electric Version
For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint, the Citroën ë-Dispatch is the electric version of the Jumpy. It features a 75kWh battery pack, providing a range of up to 217 miles. While it comes at a higher initial cost, lower energy expenses, government grants, and zero costs for entering low-emission zones can offset much of that over time.

Pricing and Competition
Price-wise, the Jumpy is competitive, undercutting several rivals including the new Ford Transit Custom. However, choosing between the Jumpy and its Stellantis siblings might come down to personal preference and dealer location, with Vauxhall having a more extensive network than Citroën.

Conclusion
The Citroën Jumpy, with its robust engine options, practical interior, and impressive cargo capacity, is a strong contender in the mid-size van market. While it may require some driver adaptability due to its basic and bouncy nature, it offers good value for those needing a reliable and efficient workhorse. Whether you opt for the diesel or the electric version, the Jumpy delivers a versatile and capable driving experience.
