Ford Ranger (2021)

The Ford Ranger is an impressive pickup and while it’s not the cheapest to run, there’s a good range of models and decent off-roading performance. It’s also an award-winning offering and the UK’s bestselling pickup – there’s a reason for that. It’s one of the best-equipped pickups around with a comfortable drive and the double cab version is ideal for business users who want a workhorse for during the week, and a family-friendly utility vehicle when off the clock.

Vauxhall Combo (2021)

The Vauxhall Combo is a best-selling small van with a lot to offer businesses and private owners alike. The van is spacious and cheap to run, and there’s also the excellent all-electric Combo-e to consider too. The Vauxhall offering is based on the same platform as the Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo but does have the edge in some respects.

Citroen e-Relay (2021)

The Citroen e-Relay electric van is an interesting addition to the segment. Unveiled in 2021, the e-Relay, which is also known as the e-Jumper in other countries, has two battery choices and a range of either 73 miles or 139 miles. It’s the firm’s largest van and completes their bid to have electric choices for all of their models. It should meet a range of business and fleet needs, and the Citroen e-Relay is a comfortable and stylish van to drive. However, it is fairly identical to the Vauxhall Movano-e and the Peugeot e-Boxer since they are all built on the same platform.

Mercedes X Class (2017)

It could be said that Mercedes is another carmaker late to the pickup party and with sales rocketing around the world, now is as good a time as any to create an impressive offering. The Mercedes X Class is that vehicle and the carmaker has created an interior to match their premium offering. There’s also a long list of options to help tailor the pickup to the buyer’s needs. However, it’s not really a pickup made by Mercedes – scratch the surface and this is the impressive Nissan Navara though Mercedes has made many changes to the exterior styling and obviously in the cabin. So, while the market for lifestyle pickups is growing and buyers opt for these rather than an SUV (mainly down to the tax advantages) there is no doubt that lots of businesses will go down this particular route just to have the Mercedes three pointed star on the front of their vehicle.

Volkswagen Amarok

Quickly growing in popularity, the Volkswagen Amarok offers a decent alternative to the run-of-the-mill pick-up with a quality product that has plenty to offer.
