Mercedes Vito Bus

The Mercedes Vito is a sturdy, no-nonsense people carrier that blends commercial practicality with a surprisingly civilised cabin, making long shuttles feel less like a chore. If you need a dependable transporter that swallows luggage, forgives hard use and still looks a touch more premium than a plain van, the Vito is an easy, sensible pick.

Maxus Euniq 5

It won’t set your pulse racing, but for buyers after fuss-free electric propulsion, flexible seating and clever everyday practicality, it’s a genuinely sensible and likeable choice.
