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.

Renault Kangoo

The Renault Kangoo is the pragmatic chameleon of small vans, marrying van-like practicality with carlike comfort and a cheerful, friendly face that suits both family runs and workday hauls. It's sensible, versatile and annoyingly useful — easy to live with, cheap to run and clever where it counts, so you get more space and fewer compromises than the price suggests.
