LCV reviews

The latest van, pick-up and 4x4 reviews from The Van Expert crew

Vauxhall Combo Electric review

The Combo is probably the most convincing van in the Vauxhall family (and the same goes for the other Stellantis brands) and the electric model is lovely if it meets your business needs.

Ineos Grenadier Commercial test drive

The Commercial version of the Ineos Grenadier showcases this unique 4x4 in a much better light than the passenger version.

Toyota Proace City test drive

A very good small van, regardless of whether you prefer the diesel or the electric version. Where the Toyota has an advantage over the near-identical Stellantis versions is its extendable warranty and roadside assistance offering.

Isuzu D-Max DL20 & DL40 review

While the two DL D-Max models share the same, unburstable feeling of the base-spec Utility, their 'all-purpose' job description does mean some compromises. They're more comfortable than the Utility, but not really a replacement family car, while those additional creature comforts also diminish the ultimate utility of the Utility.

Toyota Proace Max test drive

The Toyota Proace Max is a good, honest workhorse with either diesel or electric power that should fit seamlessly into your business.

Isuzu D-Max Utility review

There's an unburstable feel to the Isuzu D-Max. These qualities are expressed at their best in the base-model Utility, which is perfectly fit for purpose.

Off-roading in a pick-up – what should you know?

We look at the specific features you should be looking for in a pickup if you need genuine off-roading capability.

Ineos Grenadier Utility Wagon test drive

The Ineos Grenadier is an impressive off-road workhorse with a surprising amount of character, and delivers on its brief of replacing the original Land Rover Defender – warts and all...

Nissan Townstar EV review

If the Nissan Townstar EV's working range and charging requirements align with your company's usage, it's a great little van.

Volkswagen Amarok review

The Volkswagen Amarok is every bit as comfortable and capable as the Ford Ranger, but is arguably a more stylish offering.

Mercedes-Benz eVito review

Ideal for low mileage commuters and taxi drivers, the electric Mercedes-Benz eVito feels surprisingly like a diesel van on the road.

Maxus T90EV review

The Maxus T90EV is the UK's first electric pick-up truck. How does it drive and should you consider one for your business?

LEVC VN5 review

The LEVC VN5 is a distinctly different kind of van, from its petrol-assisted electric drivetrain to its unique shape. But it is any good?

Ford E-Transit review

The E-Transit is an impressive vehicle that really brings electric power into the mainstream. It's an effective, practical vehicle that could prove a reliable workhorse for many businesses.

Ford Pro and E-Transit first drive

We take Ford's first electric van for a drive and explain the Ford Pro support network that will underpins every new Ford LCV.

Volkwagen Multivan review

Unlike previous Transporter-based versions, the new Volkswagen Multivan is based on the VW Golf. Does that make it a better people carrier?

Review: Citroën e-Berlingo and Peugeot e-Partner

The Van Expert gets behind the wheel of the Peugoet e-Partner and Citroën ë-Berlingo, new from Stellantis.

Mercedes-Benz EQV test drive

The way the electric powertrain has been integrated really impresses. As an electric MPV option, the Mercedes-Benz EQV is hard to beat.

Ford Transit Custom PHEV test drive

A plug-in hybrid motor is a great addition to the Ford Transit Custom line-up, offering businesses a new way to cut their carbon footprints.

Ford Transit Connect Sport test drive

The Sport spec certainly sharpens up the look of the Ford Transit Connect, but it doesn't change the vehicle's practicality as a small delivery van.

Isuzu D-Max XTR test drive

The Isuzu D-Max XTR may be old-school, but it’s bristling with charm. It might not be as refined as rivals but it has more genuine off-road capability.

Mitsubishi L200 test drive

As a commercial prospect, the Mitsubishi L200 makes a lot of sense. Its off-road capabilities and towing capabilities are impressive.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class test drive

Other MPVs may match the Mercedes-Benz V-Class for pople-moving ability, but few can rival its premium feeling and car-like driving style.

Ford Transit test drive

The heavily-revised Ford Transit retains its crown as the go-to large van, but we're not convinced of the real-world benefits of the mild hybrid system.
