The Vito differs from other models in the Medium Van segment by eschewing an L1 body style in favour of L2 and L3 configurations.
As such, the Vito in L2 size is larger than most L1 vans in the segment, while the L3 bridges the margin in size between a medium and large van.
At the rear, the Vito panel van features 180-degree barn-style doors, while the Crew Van features a lifted tailgate, plus a full-length partition and twin side doors that slide open between 822mm and 904mm.
The Vito L2 offers a generous 2831mm in terms of load length, rising to 3061mm in the larger L3 model.
This translates to 6.0 cubic metres of overall load space volume for the L2, while the L3 has 6.6 cubic metres of cargo space. This is reduced to 3.6 and 4.1 cubic metres for the Crew Van versions due to having a rear bench of seats.
