The Peugeot Partner is very similar to the Vauxhall Vivaro, some would say almost identical. The van is medium-sized and it definitely is ideal for industrial purposes and it is very easy to drive.

If you are looking for a van that is very similar to a car and that has some elements of luxury to it, then the VW Caddy is definitely a work van to consider.
