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 />
