Written with artificial intelligence.
Stellantis has unveiled a new range of affordable compact vans under the Smart Compact Van name, available for brands including Opel, FIAT, Peugeot, and Citroën, starting at €21,500. These vans feature updated interiors, modular seating, and a fully electric option with a range of 270 km.
New Affordable Compact Vans
Stellantis has launched a new entry-level range of compact vans, known as Smart Compact Vans, designed for brands such as Opel, FIAT, Peugeot, and Citroën. With prices starting at €21,500, these vans aim to provide a budget-friendly option while retaining the quality and features found in the existing lineup.
Key Features
The Smart Compact Van lineup includes four models:
- Citroën Berlingo First
- Fiat Doblò EasyPRO
- Opel Combo Start
- Peugeot Partner Active
These vans are built on the same architecture as the current compact models but feature a redesigned front bumper for enhanced durability. Inside, the cabins have been completely reworked for better ergonomics and functionality, including a modular passenger seat known as the Flexiseat, which allows for increased cargo space.
Versatile and Practical
The Flexiseat can fold down to provide an additional 0.5 m³ of cargo volume, catering to the needs of professional users who typically drive alone. Stellantis has also introduced several modular storage solutions, such as the Moduconsole and Dashbox, designed to maximize space and utility.
Engine Options
The Smart Compact Vans offer various engine configurations, including:
- A fully electric version with a range of 270 km
- Two diesel options
- A gasoline variant
- A micro-hybrid model set to launch in 2024
Each model will maintain similar dimensions and capacities, with payloads ranging from 650 kg to 1,000 kg and cargo volumes between 3.3 m³ and 4.4 m³.

Orders for the Smart Compact Vans are now open in Spain, with the following starting prices (excluding VAT and transport):
- Gasoline Van (110 CV): from €21,500
- Diesel Van (100 CV): from €22,000
- Electric Van (42 kWh): from €27,800
Stellantis aims to solidify its leading position in the compact van market, offering a more affordable and practical solution against increasing competition, particularly from emerging brands.
