Every year NZ Company Vehicle magazine and NZ4WD magazine announce the award winning vehicles for the year in the respective December issue.
The awards are the culmination of all the vehicles tested by the Adrenalin editorial staff in the twelve months from October 1, 2012 to October 1, 2013, and then serious debate occurs amongst the team when making a decision on the winner in each category.
The winners represent the best of the best in terms of design, ability, value for money and most importantly, fitness for the purpose intended.

• Light business car of the year
• Small business car of the year
