1. 0:04Whether you're a professional, a
2. 0:05craftsman, or just a DIY enthusiast,
3. 0:07owning a utility vehicle is always a
4. 0:09good idea. That's why today, I suggest
5. 0:11we take a look at our top 5 utility
6. 0:13vehicles. Hello everyone, welcome to
7. 0:14the "Clés du Volant" channel. I'm
8. 0:16Antonio and let's get straight to the
9. 0:18point. In this video, there will be
10. 0:20something for everyone, since we'll
11. 0:22cover small 2 m³ vans to very large 17
12. 0:25m³ vans. So, we'll start right away
13. 0:27with a small-sized utility vehicle. In
14. 0:29this case, the second-generation
15. 0:31Renault Kangoo. Produced from 2008 to
16. 0:332021, it is certainly not rare on our
17. 0:36roads. Its loading capacity ranges from
18. 0:382.3 to 2.8 m³. It exists in two
19. 0:41lengths, a short chassis or a longer
20. 0:43chassis. It's possible to buy it with
21. 0:45numerous options and many different
22. 0:47configurations. The Kangoo is truly the
23. 0:50ideal small utility vehicle for cities.
24. 0:53Regarding engines, you should
25. 0:55preferably aim for the 1.5 dCi version,
26. 0:57which is by far the most reliable. It
27. 1:00is available with up to 110 horsepower
28. 1:02in this engine variant. As for engines
29. 1:05to avoid, and even though everything
30. 1:07today points toward buying gasoline
31. 1:08vehicles, you should still avoid the
32. 1:101.2 TCE, which has real reliability
33. 1:12issues, especially with the timing
34. 1:14chain. As for its strengths. It is a
35. 1:17vehicle that is easy to maintain, and
36. 1:19on top of that, maintenance is not very
37. 1:21expensive. Due to its longevity on the
38. 1:23market, it isn't hard to find used
39. 1:25parts in junkyards; therefore, the
40. 1:27Kangoo is really the utility vehicle
41. 1:29for every use—easy to maintain, not
42. 1:31at all expensive, and one you can
43. 1:33easily leave in your yard, even if you
44. 1:35only take it out once a month.
45. 1:37Regarding its price, for models from
46. 1:402015 to 2019 with around 75,000 miles,
47. 1:42plan on spending about 7,000 to 9,000
48. 1:45euros. Depending on its condition and
49. 1:47options, obviously, you can find much
50. 1:49cheaper ones, but they will have many
51. 1:51more miles and often the bodywork will
52. 1:53be damaged. But regardless, even if you
53. 1:56opt for a Kangoo with higher mileage,
54. 1:58it will remain reliable. Maybe not very
55. 2:01pretty, maybe it will have seen better
56. 2:02days, but in any case, it will remain
57. 2:04reliable. Let's move on to the second
58. 2:06utility vehicle of this selection,
59. 2:08namely the Volkswagen Caddy. So, the
60. 2:11Volkswagen Caddy is a sort of Kangoo
61. 2:13that's a little more upscale, since
62. 2:15when it was sold new, it was
63. 2:16significantly more expensive than the
64. 2:18Kangoo, but it's ultimately the same
65. 2:20use case as the Kangoo. Regarding
66. 2:23recommended engines, prioritize the 2-
67. 2:25liter 102-horsepower TDI, or if you
68. 2:27want a slightly higher-performance
69. 2:28utility vehicle, why not go for the 140
70. 2:30or 150-horsepower versions. These
71. 2:33engines are admittedly rarer on the
72. 2:35market, but it's true that they make
73. 2:37the Caddy almost usable for daily
74. 2:38driving because with 150 horsepower, it
75. 2:40becomes truly powerful, at least for a
76. 2:42commercial vehicle. As for engines to
77. 2:45avoid, it is better not to buy the 1.6
78. 2:47TDI with 102 or 75 horsepower. It has
79. 2:50injector issues, and those are very
80. 2:51expensive to replace. Likewise, it's
81. 2:54better to avoid the 1.2 TSI version due
82. 2:56to a lack of torque, because once fully
83. 2:58loaded, you will have a completely
84. 3:00anemic Caddy and you'll have to push it
85. 3:02to get moving. Mind you, pushing a
86. 3:04Caddy to move isn't all that surprising
87. 3:06. And on top of that, the 1.2 TSI
88. 3:08engine is known for oil consumption
89. 3:10issues, so really, refrain from buying
90. 3:12it in the 1.2. It’s a utility vehicle
91. 3:14that also comes in two different
92. 3:16chassis lengths, and its capacity
93. 3:18ranges from 3 to 4.3 cubic meters. 4.3
94. 3:21cubic meters allows you to load two
95. 3:23Euro pallets, which is actually quite
96. 3:25good for a van that isn't that large
97. 3:27after all. Here too, like the Kangoo,
98. 3:29it is an ideal commercial vehicle if
99. 3:31you do a lot of city driving. The Caddy
100. 3:33exists in a 4Motion version with the
101. 3:35Alltrack trim, which is a slightly
102. 3:37raised, four-wheel-drive version, very
103. 3:39practical for those who need to access
104. 3:40slightly steeper areas. Regarding
105. 3:42prices, for around 120,000 kilometers,
106. 3:44it's more expensive than the Kangoo.
107. 3:46We're looking at more like 11,000 to
108. 3:4713,000 euros, or even a bit more
109. 3:49depending on options and engines. But
110. 3:51it's also true that the 150-horsepower
111. 3:53Caddy offers a real driving pleasure
112. 3:54that the Kangoo doesn't necessarily
113. 3:56provide, since those engines don't
114. 3:58exist in the Kangoo. So the Caddy is
115. 4:00naturally more expensive than the
116. 4:02Kangoo. Here too, if you opt for a
117. 4:03vehicle with significantly higher
118. 4:05mileage, you can find it for less. But
119. 4:07as with the Kangoo, you'll then have to
120. 4:09settle for a vehicle that might have
121. 4:10some bodywork damage. But then again,
122. 4:13it's not a big deal if you're only
123. 4:14buying it as a work van and the
124. 4:16appearance doesn't matter much to you.
125. 4:18Let's now move on to the third
126. 4:20selection of this video. In this case,
127. 4:22the Ford Transit Custom. So pay
128. 4:24attention, the Ford Transit Custom can
129. 4:26be either the best or the worst. You
130. 4:29really need to be very careful about
131. 4:31the engine you decide to choose. Simply
132. 4:34because some engines available in this
133. 4:37vehicle have almost proverbial
134. 4:40reliability. The Ford Transit, if you
135. 4:43pick the wrong engine, can actually
136. 4:44cause you some major transit problems.
137. 4:47Specifically, the Ford Transit Custom
138. 4:49was produced for quite a long time,
139. 4:51from 2012 to 2023 in its first body
140. 4:53style with a mid-life facelift, but
141. 4:55either way, it was made for a long time
142. 4:57, so it's not hard to find. Regarding
143. 5:01the engines to target, you must only
144. 5:03buy the 2L TDCi and no other.
145. 5:06Absolutely not. The 2.2 TDCi is a real
146. 5:09source of trouble and has experienced
147. 5:12numerous outright engine failures; the
148. 5:142.2 TDCi is the engine to avoid on the
149. 5:17Ford Transit Custom. But if you get it
150. 5:20with the 2L TDCi, things will go much
151. 5:22better. Which also means that in this
152. 5:24specific case, you will need to target
153. 5:26the later production years since the 2L
154. 5:28TDCi was introduced after 2016. It
155. 5:31produces 130 horsepower, which isn't
156. 5:33exactly a lot to move this vehicle,
157. 5:35which is clearly much larger than a
158. 5:37Caddy or a Kangoo. But regardless, it
159. 5:40remains quite honorable in terms of
160. 5:42performance. We are in a video
161. 5:44dedicated to commercial vehicles, not
162. 5:45sports cars. Another engine to avoid is
163. 5:48the 1.0 EcoBoost. First, because a 1-
164. 5:51liter engine in such a large van, well,
165. 5:53it just doesn't work. Inevitably, it
166. 5:56will lack torque and performance. And
167. 5:58on top of that, it’s also an
168. 5:59unreliable engine because, like the
169. 6:01PureTech, it has a belt that sits in
170. 6:02oil, and you can't say that just
171. 6:04because it's in oil, everything is
172. 6:06going to go well. As for the different
173. 6:08body styles, there's something for
174. 6:10everyone: short wheelbase, long
175. 6:11wheelbase, high roof—in short, you
176. 6:13can really choose a Ford Transit Custom
177. 6:15according to your own needs. From 6
178. 6:17cubic meters to over 8 cubic meters, it
179. 6:19becomes a real utility vehicle suited
180. 6:21for professional use. And you could
181. 6:23even imagine converting it into a
182. 6:24camper van for weekends for two, but no
183. 6:26more. But in any case, the Ford Transit
184. 6:29Custom is a vehicle that adapts to many
185. 6:31uses with the 2L TDCi. So, I will only
186. 6:34talk about the price of the 2L TDCi
187. 6:35because you really have to avoid the
188. 6:37other engines. Count on 14, 16, or
189. 6:4017,000 euros depending on the mileage.
190. 6:43Here too, you can find them cheaper,
191. 6:44but they will have well over 200,000 km
192. 6:46and their bodywork won't be in very
193. 6:48good shape. But let's say the price is
194. 6:50generally in the 15,000 euro range.
195. 6:53Before moving on to the next selection,
196. 6:55tell us in the comments if you are a
197. 6:57user of any of the commercial vehicles
198. 6:59in this video. It's always very
199. 7:01interesting for the community and above
200. 7:03all, it allows for real user feedback
201. 7:05with genuine opinions, not the opinions
202. 7:07of journalists who are ultimately only
203. 7:09there to praise the merits of one
204. 7:10product or another. I thank you in
205. 7:12advance and as usual, I will obviously
206. 7:14read your comments with pleasure. Let's
207. 7:16now move on to the 3rd generation Fiat
208. 7:19Ducato. With the 3rd generation Fiat
209. 7:21Ducato, we are starting to get into
210. 7:22large commercial vehicles. Produced
211. 7:24since 2006, it is a vehicle that has
212. 7:26had many restylings. For the 3rd
213. 7:28generation Ducato, you should target
214. 7:31the 2.3 Multijet engine. Aim for the
215. 7:34version without AdBlue, so before 2019.
216. 7:38That will save you from many problems.
217. 7:40In fact, you will have noticed in this
218. 7:42selection that I avoided engines with
219. 7:43AdBlue because they are so unreliable.
220. 7:46Avoid the 2.2 Multijet from before 2011
221. 7:48; it is a Ford-based mechanical unit
222. 7:50that is not reliable. Also avoid the 2-
223. 7:52liter 115-horsepower Multijet of
224. 7:54Peugeot origin. Here, it's not a
225. 7:55question of reliability, but a question
226. 7:58of performance; the Ducato is a heavy
227. 7:59vehicle and the 2-liter 115-horsepower
228. 8:01is a bit anemic. So, the Fiat Ducato is
229. 8:04a large vehicle that, moreover, exists
230. 8:06in many different chassis sizes.
231. 8:08Therefore, it is a vehicle that can
232. 8:10have a very high payload. There are no
233. 8:12fewer than four different chassis
234. 8:14lengths and three different body
235. 8:16heights. Thus, its usable loading
236. 8:18volume ranges from 8 cubic meters to 17
237. 8:19cubic meters. So that really makes it a
238. 8:22large van very well suited for
239. 8:24professional use. And here too, for
240. 8:26converting it into a camper van, even
241. 8:28if there are four of you going away for
242. 8:30the weekend, if you take the 17-
243. 8:32cubic-meter version, there will still
244. 8:33be room, at least reasonably so. The
245. 8:35Fiat Ducato is a real, good, big
246. 8:37commercial vehicle like they used to
247. 8:39make back then and like they don't
248. 8:40necessarily make anymore today. And
249. 8:42that's why it is in this selection.
250. 8:44Regarding pricing for the 2.3 Multijet,
251. 8:46you should count on 15 to 18,000 euros.
252. 8:50Here again, with reasonable mileage,
253. 8:52you can certainly find cheaper ones,
254. 8:53but it's guaranteed that the bodywork
255. 8:55will likely be badly damaged and the
256. 8:57engine will have well over 200,000 km.
257. 9:00But in any case, for a vehicle in good
258. 9:02condition with reasonable mileage,
259. 9:04count on about 15,000 to 16,000 euros.
260. 9:06Let's move on now to the star of
261. 9:08commercial vehicles, a vehicle with an
262. 9:09ironclad reputation that has been
263. 9:11around for many years, namely the
264. 9:12Renault Master. For this, we will focus
265. 9:15on the second-generation Renault Master
266. 9:18, produced from 2010 to 2024. So, the
267. 9:21Renault Master comes in every possible
268. 9:23configuration: front-wheel drive,
269. 9:25rear-wheel drive, chassis cab, panel
270. 9:27van, box truck—in short, you can buy
271. 9:30it in many different configurations
272. 9:32that will surely suit your needs. From
273. 9:35an engine perspective, it's better to
274. 9:37go for the 2.3 dCi, which comes in
275. 9:39several power levels, if possible in
276. 9:41the higher outputs. At 135 horsepower,
277. 9:44it won't be a speed demon, but at least
278. 9:47you'll be able to use it properly. If
279. 9:49you aim for lower-powered engines, it
280. 9:53will be truly sluggish once loaded. So,
281. 9:56bet on the 135-horsepower version.
282. 9:58Regarding versions to avoid, it's not
283. 10:00an engine you should avoid, but a
284. 10:02transmission. There are Masters with
285. 10:04the Quickshift, but the gearbox is slow
286. 10:06, poorly managed, and you should favor
287. 10:08a manual transmission. First, because a
288. 10:10manual gearbox is better suited for
289. 10:12utility vehicle use, and regardless,
290. 10:14the Quickshift gearbox is quite a
291. 10:15failure. In terms of qualities, first
292. 10:17of all, it's a very robust vehicle. It
293. 10:19is a vehicle that has been produced for
294. 10:21many years. So maintaining it is very
295. 10:22easy. You can find parts everywhere,
296. 10:24both used and new. You can find them at
297. 10:25all price points. So it's not very
298. 10:27complicated to maintain. Regarding
299. 10:29flaws, there aren't really any, except
300. 10:31for a certain sensitivity to corrosion
301. 10:32on the early model years. But beyond
302. 10:34that, overall, it's really reliable.
303. 10:37Now, yes, if you take the longest
304. 10:38chassis, the L3 or L4, then indeed,
305. 10:40it's a vehicle that takes up a lot of
306. 10:42space and has a footprint that is not
307. 10:44negligible. But apart from that,
308. 10:47frankly, there really aren't any flaws.
309. 10:49It's pretty much built like a tank. And
310. 10:51besides, Renault is a benchmark brand
311. 10:52for commercial vehicles, that much
312. 10:53can't be taken away from them. And the
313. 10:55Master proves why that is the case.
314. 10:57Just like the Ducato, it ranges from 8
315. 11:00m³ to over 17 m³, making it a vehicle
316. 11:02truly suited for any use, or at least
317. 11:04for every trade. And if you want to
318. 11:08turn it into a weekend van, well, by
319. 11:09choosing the 17 m³ version, you'll
320. 11:11have plenty of space to fit it out and
321. 11:13create a rather pleasant and spacious
322. 11:15vehicle for nature getaways. Regarding
323. 11:18pricing, depending on the chassis size
324. 11:20and production year, count on spending
325. 11:22roughly between 12,000–13,000 and
326. 11:2417,000–18,000 euros. Again, for
327. 11:27120,000 km and like with all other
328. 11:29vehicles, you can find cheaper ones,
329. 11:31but you'll have to deal with
330. 11:32significantly higher mileage. Be aware
331. 11:36that all the engines selected in this
332. 11:38video handle high mileage well. So, if
333. 11:41your budget forces you to look at
334. 11:43vehicles with over 200,000 km, as long
335. 11:45as you pick the engines I mentioned, it
336. 11:48should normally go just fine. Obviously
337. 11:50, as usual, the vehicle must have been
338. 11:52well maintained. With this selection of
339. 11:54vans, you will surely find the vehicle
340. 11:56that meets your needs. I hope you
341. 11:58enjoyed this video, and as for me, I'll
342. 11:59see you very soon for a new installment
343. 12:01. Ciao!
