Reviews

2025 Volkswagen Caddy review

The Volkswagen Caddy Maxi people offers van practicality with car-like driving dynamics. It doesn't come cheap, however.

Jack Quick

2024 Toyota HiAce review

Toyota's tried and tested van is unchanged for 2024, but the barn door variant is still a great choice in the world of commercial vans.
