You’re spoilt<br />
for choice...<br />
This issue of <strong>Company</strong> <strong>Car</strong> & <strong>Van</strong> has test drives<br />
and features on cars, commercials and light<br />
trucks, powered by a mixture of petrol, diesel,<br />
hybrid and electric engines. Never has there<br />
been such a wide choice of powertrains for fleets<br />
and with the speed of change showing no signs<br />
of abating, the question of which vehicle is best<br />
for you, for your employees or for your business,<br />
has never been so confusing.<br />
Our cover star in <strong>April</strong> is the new SEAT Arona.<br />
The petrol version we tested is excellent and<br />
goes straight to the top of the B SUV sector.<br />
Nissan begins <strong>2018</strong> with the launch of its second<br />
generation Leaf, possibly the best known EV<br />
name in the market, and we find out how it’s<br />
been improved. Volvo has its own hybrid range,<br />
badged as ‘Twin Engine’ and we get to grips with<br />
the range-topping XC90, which offers employees<br />
a luxury car with low taxation.<br />
We also have road tests on the attractive<br />
Volkswagen Arteon, updated Lexus CT, Alfa<br />
Romeo Giulia, Jaguar XE, Mazda3, Renault<br />
Megane and MINI Countryman PHEV, while we<br />
look forward to the new Hyundai KONA EV.<br />
On the commercial front, Volkswagen has<br />
introduced an entry-level manual Amarok that’s<br />
firmly aimed at capturing more small fleet<br />
business. We also drive the Mercedes-Benz<br />
Citan, Citroen Dispatch, Vauxhall Movano, Toyota<br />
Proace and the range-topping Fiat Professional<br />
Fullback Cross. Plus we cast our eye over the<br />
latest Ford Transit Connect and LDV V80 chassis<br />
cab.<br />
And finally, due to public demand, we feature<br />
our first light truck, the revolutionary Mercedes-<br />
Benz eActros, which could save your<br />
company an awful lot of money.<br />
Enjoy.<br />
