MAN TGE Luton Review

Who would benefit from a Luton van? Well, if you’re looking for a commercial van that has the capacity of a lorry but the agility of a smaller vehicle, look no further than the Luton. Favoured by removal specialists, courier drivers, and small business owners, this practical transportation has ensured that goods and services are delivered on time since the mid-20th century.

This review looks at the MAN TGE Luton van, which is ideal for people who work in various trade sectors, including removal companies and courier businesses.

Starting from £29,990 to buy outright, or £399 plus VAT when bought on finance at Van Sales UK, the MAN TGE Luton excels when it comes to driveability, comfort, loading capabilities and overall convenience, making it ideal to suit both your personal and professional needs.

The MAN TGE Luton at a glance

Since 2017, the MAN TGE Luton has been on sale and has rivalled other big name competitors such as  the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit. A solid van that suits high capacity courier work, the MAN TGE Luton is solid, load bearing van that is ideal for heavy cargo.

With MAN’s best-in-class 2.0 litre diesel engine, if you’re a delivery driver that needs a powerful van, this vehicle is the one for you. This large courier van is well-suited to large companies as well as freelance drivers. The MAN TGE Luton comes in a variety of colours along with a range of excellent features that suits all drivers and ensures easy accessibility to its large storage area to make for quick deliveries and pick-ups.

Engines and Spec

With four versions available of the 2.0-litre turbo engine, the MAN TGE has plenty of engine options to ensure that you have the power that is right for you. It has the capability to reach a maximum of 177hp in conjunction with a 411 Nm torque, making motorway driving efficient. Multiple drive and transmission options such as Front Wheel Drive and Rear Wheel Drive make the handling of this van even easier. This makes it the ideal vehicle for those who need both power for heavy loads on motorways and easy handling around tight streets with limited space and parking options.

The maximum payload for a 3.5t MAN TGE is 1,333kg, which although substantial, may not be enough for tradespeople that need to transport heavier loads.
