3.7/5 stars

Isuzu D-Max Commercial pick-up (2026) Review

The Isuzu D-Max Commercial is a smart, compliant response to the 2025 pick-up tax changes. It retains strong towing, payload and off-road capabilities while restoring commercial tax treatment. It’s a seriously compelling option for businesses that still need a proper working pick-up.

Citroen Dispatch Van (2026) Review

Well equipped, comfortable and good to drive, the Citroen Dispatch continues to impress as an all-rounder. It doesn’t lead the class in any area, but few rivals balance payload, comfort and cost quite so neatly.

Volkswagen e-Transporter panel van (2026) review

The Volkswagen e-Transporter blends strong electric performance with everyday practicality, excellent safety and class-leading warranty support. It’s the most convincing electric medium van on sale.

4/5 stars

Toyota Hilux BEV Review

Toyota’s first electric pick-up retains the Hilux’s trademark toughness but trades some load-carrying muscle for refinement and sustainability. It’s smooth, quiet and capable, and arguably the best Hilux yet. But its short 150-mile range and limited 715kg payload mean it’s best suited to fleets and users operating within fixed areas rather than long-haul drivers.

3.5/5 stars

Ford Transit Connect PHEV Review

Refined, efficient and easy to live with, the Ford Transit Connect PHEV blends useful electric range with real-world practicality. The payload isn’t the strongest and the infotainment lags behind rivals, but for operators not yet ready to go fully electric, it’s the sweet spot in Ford’s LCV range.

3.4/5 stars

Vauxhall Vivaro Panel Van (2025) Review

The Vivaro is a dependable medium van with a strong payload rating, decent road manners and good value for money, but it can’t compete with the best from Ford and Volkswagen. It’s not a bad option, and will serve any business well, but drivers will likely enjoy newer rivals more, and small companies might appreciate the longer warranty coverage offered by Volkswagen and Toyota.

Kia PV5 Cargo (2025) Review

Refined, efficient and cleverly packaged, the Kia PV5 makes a bold debut in the compact electric van sector. Real-world range is close to its claim, ride comfort is good, and the tech offering is a step ahead of many rivals. Some minor niggles mean it isn’t flawless, but it’s the best compact electric van we’ve seen to date, at a price that undercuts its diesel-powered rivals. Unless you’re covering huge distances every day, it should be at the top of your shortlist.

4.2/5 stars

Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial Review

The Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial combines serious off-road ability with a durable, high-spec interior and Toyota’s peerless reliability record. It’s not as refined on the road as a Land Rover Defender Hard Top, and its payload is shy of a dedicated pickup’s, but for operators who need go-anywhere capability backed by a market-leading warranty, it’s one of the most compelling commercial 4x4s you can buy.
