Carwow Crowns Ford Transit Custom ‘Van of the Year’

DUNTON, UK – Ford Pro has added another trophy to its cabinet after Carwow announced that Transit Custom is its Van of the Year for 2025.

The honour was awarded to the UK’s best-selling van for its “endless choice of size, shape or configuration and cleverly designed cab. Since January, dealers have been able to source vans and pick-ups via Carwow’s daily online auctions, following strong demand from its UK network of dealer partners”.

Carwow adds: “The Ford Transit Custom makes driving a van for business a pleasure. It’s thoughtfully designed, with a cab that’s both hardwearing and clever, and you can have such a wide array of body sizes, layouts and optional features that there truly is a van to suit all needs. It doesn’t matter whether you go for one of the diesel engines or the excellent E-Transit Custom, as they’re both brilliant.”

In other good news for Ford Pro, Ford Transit Courier was Highly Commended by Carwow for being “great to drive and surprisingly practical”.

Carwow noted: “The Transit Courier is based on the same underpinnings as the Ford Puma SUV, but it’s not afraid of a bit of hard work. It may be tiny but you can still fit two pallets inside, while the option of petrol engines or even a fully electric version mean that it’s ideal for deliveries in and around the city. It’s even quite fun to drive, thanks to its passenger car roots.”

Meanwhile, the independent editorial team of Carwow Germany, has named Ford Tourneo Courier as its “price-performance winner”, stating “it combines the practical advantages of a high-roof estate with an exceptionally stylish design, especially in the optional two-tone paint finish. With its many, generous storage spaces with up to 2,162 liters of luggage compartment volume, the model is a particularly good choice for families.”

Philipp Sayler von Amende, CEO and Co-Founder of Carwow Germany, said: “With the Carwow Car of the Year Awards 2025, we honour the most convincing vehicles, as well as the best brand and technical innovation of the past year. Our jury's selection shows which models not only impress with their performance and design, but are also future-oriented and suitable for everyday use. With our independent award, we want to offer prospective buyers a reliable purchase recommendation in the sheer endless variety of offers.”
