We award the best of the best in the Automotive industry

General

As the automotive industry continues to evolve with increasing innovation and sustainability, recognising excellence within  this sector becomes ever more significant. In this spirit, we proudly introduce the Company Vehicle Car of the Year Awards,  an institution dedicated to celebrating the finest vehicles across a myriad of categories catered specifically for business and  commercial use.

This year’s awards encompass nine distinct categories, each representing a critical segment of the business vehicle market.  Our expert panel evaluates an array of factors including performance, efficiency, innovation, comfort, and value and  all with one key phrase in mind – are they fit for purpose.

Compact Small Business Car of the Year
This category acknowledges the compact vehicles that are perfect for small businesses requiring efficiency and convenience.  With a focus on fuel economy, ease of navigation in urban environments, and cost-effectiveness, the vehicles  considered here excel in providing a reliable means of transportation for business owners and their teams.

Compact Small SUV of the Year
Offering greater versatility and a higher driving position while maintaining a compact footprint, the Compact Small SUV of the  Year award goes to vehicles that balance utility with manoeuvrability. These SUVs provide businesses the flexibility of  carrying goods and passengers without compromising on fuel efficiency and urban agility.

Medium SUV of the Year
Medium SUVs have gained popularity for their spacious interiors and robust performance. This category is dedicated to those  vehicles that offer excellent cargo space and advanced safety features, making them suitable for businesses that  require dependability and comfort over long distances or varied terrains.

Large SUV of the Year
In the Larger SUV category, we assess vehicles designed for maximum passenger comfort and storage capacity, suitable for  transporting larger teams or equipment. These vehicles are recognised for their superior power, luxury features, and  adaptability in demanding conditions.
