Description

Key Specs & What It Offers (for 170 PS / MS-RT / Double Cab) The 2.0 EcoBlue diesel engine version with 170 PS is available in the “Double Cab-in-Van” (DCiV) body style — meaning you get front and rear seats (typically 5 seats) + a load area behind the second row. As an “MS-RT” spec, it comes with sporty / “motorsport-inspired” exterior and interior styling: distinctive front bumper & splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser/spoiler, gloss-black touches (mirrors/handles), 19" alloy wheels, “MS-RT” seats (eco-leather / suede with contrast stitching), heated sports steering wheel, plus more premium touches inside — so it blends practicality with a more premium / rugged aesthetic. Cargo/Load-area & Practicality — in a Double Cab format: you still retain a load area behind the seats, and a bulkhead behind the rear row separates cabin from load to provide security and protect occupants from shifting cargo. Capacity / Payload / Towing (approximate expected ranges, depending on exact configuration): older spec sheets and leasing info suggest payloads around ~973 kg (for some MS-RT DCiV examples) when configured as Double Cab. Load-area dimensions / usefulness: example spec sheet lists load length ~ 1,604 mm, load height ~ 1,322 mm, load width ~ 1,777 mm (at least in some 170 PS H1 MS-RT DCiV configurations) — decent for many typical van-use tasks without going to a full panel-van size. Equipment & comfort (MS-RT or higher trim compared with basic van): better-quality seats, improved styling, likely better in-cabin feel than basic commercial vans — which can make a difference if you spend a lot of time driving, or sometimes use the van to transport people as well as cargo. Strengths — What It’s Good For (Who It’s Great For) Work + Crew + Equipment Combo: Because it’s a Double Cab-in-Van, you get space for passengers (or crew) and a secure load area. Great for tradespeople, small teams, contractors — those who transport both people and gear/materials. Mixed usage (cargo + people + style): The MS-RT spec makes this van more attractive if you want a “work van” that doesn’t feel too utilitarian — useful if you care about appearance (client visits, small business branding) or want comfort when using for day-to-day driving. Decent payload for its size: Near ~1,000 kg payload in the DCiV format gives you a lot of flexibility — enough for many typical van loads without going to larger / heavier vans. Practical footprint & maneuverability: Because it’s still a midsize van (H1 roof, Double Cab format), it's easier to drive and park than a full-blown long-wheelbase panel van — yet offers reasonable load/crew flexibility. Sport-oriented appeal with practicality: The MS-RT styling + decent engine gives a balance of utilitarian use with a bit of “personality” and comfort — good if you don’t want a bare-bones van.
