Can you recommend a 4x4 small van?
Does anyone produce a 4x4 small van other than the Volkswagen Caddy 4Motion?

The Vauxhall Combo is available with four-wheel drive, increased ground clearance and underbody protection.
However, unless you really do need an off-roader, I'd recommend the Peugeot Partner with Grip Control. It won't give you all-wheel drive, but it does add all-terrain tyres and a smart traction control system that will allow the van to navigate wintery roads and light off-road conditions.
I'd argue that a Partner with Grip Control and a good set of all-season tyres is every bit as capable as 4x4 van in all but the harshest of off-road scenarios.
