Best Commercial vehicles according to our experts
Over four generations since 1965, the Ford Transit has been a van pioneer, being the first to infuse car‑based performance and comfort with workhorse practicality. The E‑Transit Custom, coming late in 2024, builds on both thanks to a smoother and stiffer body, effortless EV muscle, agile handling and a class‑redefining ride. The Tesla of medium vans? Maybe, as our first drive in Europe suggests.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
A recent overhaul of the Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter range brings extra safety technologies and new comfort and convenience features to the Heavy Commercial vehicle segment, but do these upgrades justify the high purchase/servicing costs of this popular German workhorse?
Isuzu offers a convenient ready‑to‑work option for tradies with its appropriately named 'Tradepack' based on the popular N‑Series range, available in a choice of wheelbases and either 4500kg or 5500kg GVM ratings. The lower weight rating can be driven using a standard car licence, so we recently put one of these well‑equipped trucks to the test to see how it measures up as a heavy‑duty workhorse.
It's a big deal when a new‑generation Isuzu N Series truck launches and after 16 years, it's finally here. We test the new model to determine if it's better than its truck rivals, but also to see if it's a better buy than a ute.
The mid‑size van segment is evolving, with all‑electric models emerging left, right and centre. Mercedes‑Benz's eVito is one of the newest entrants, but is it up to the challenge of tradie life? The answer is yes... and no.
