The XS variants measure 4.6m long, while M models increase the vehicle length to 4.9m, and XL extend to 5.3m long. Load capacity for XS variants is 4.6m3, while M models can carry up to 5.3m3, and XL variants 6.1m3 in Panel Van configuration.  

Load volumes are identical for Dispatch and ë-Dispatch Electric models, while maximum payloads are up to 1,446kg for Dispatch, and up to 1,004kg for ë-Dispatch Electric. Both Dispatch and ë-Dispatch Electric can be specified in either Panel Van or Crew Van configuration. Crew Van models feature a second row of seats, bringing the maximum occupancy to six.

Citroën Dispatch: Engine Upgrade

A major enhancement for Dispatch is the introduction of new Euro 6.3-compliant Diesel engines. This sees the Dispatch range updated with a new BlueHDi 100 S&S 6-speed manual powertrain that enjoys improved efficiency versus the outgoing unit. Resulting in CO2 emissions reduced by up to 3g/km. A BlueHDi 145 engine replaces the outgoing 2.0-litre BlueHDi 120 Diesel across the rest of the range. This is available with a 6-speed manual gearbox or an 8-speed automatic transmission.

‘Driver Pro’ variants also receive a new 1.5-litre BlueHDi 120 S&S 6-speed manual powertrain. This new engine brings with it a very impressive 15g/km reduction in COwhen compared with the outgoing unit. Furthermore, the BlueHDi 150 has also been removed from the range.

Citroën ë-Dispatch: Battery Power

Citroën ë-Dispatch is powered by a top-of-the-range battery.

Citroën ë-Dispatch Electric models are powered by either a 50kWh or a 75kWh battery pack. This combines with a 100kW (136hp) electric motor. From a single charge, ë-Dispatch Electric models with 50kWh batteries can cover up to 143 miles (WLTP). The 75kWh models increase the vehicle range up to 205 miles under WLTP testing.

Supporting up to 100kW rapid charging, an 80% charge will take just 30 minutes for 50kWh models, and 45 minutes for 75kWh variants. A full charge with a 7.4kW (32A) Wallbox will take 7 hours 30 minutes for 50kWh models, and 11 hours 20 minutes for 75kWh models.

Citroën Dispatch and ë-Dispatch: UK Pricing

As part of the 2022 updates, Citroën UK has reduced Dispatch and ë-Dispatch Electric basic prices by £1,000 across the board. Dispatch pricing now starts from £22,995 for the entry-level ‘X Pro’ Panel Van model.
