The British built Vauxhall Vivaro has been selected as the 2016 Business Van of the Year by Business Vans.

Martyn Collins, editor of Business Vans has said, "So why is it our top van you may ask? Well in a nutshell, it’s a massive step forward over its already excellent predecessor"

Collins also added, "Like the last Vivaro, the current one is easy and car-like to drive. Yet the latest Vivaro adds impressive refinement and in winning 1.6 CDTI 16v BiTurbo form – this Vauxhall boasts 120PS and 320Nm of torque. However, all this power isn’t likely to hit buyers in the pocket as it’s still capable of a class-leading 47.9mpg on the combined cycle."



Dave Bowen, chairman of the judges and managing director of BT Fleet also shared his thoughts on the new award saying, "The Vivaro provides outstanding green credentials and a fantastic overall small business solution."

"The Vivaro eco FLEX BiTurbo offers a hard working business tool that through sheer efficiency helps minimise its environmental impact."

Vauxhall's latest edition of the popular commercial vehicle has been on sale for just over a year and added this latest accolade to its ever growing range of awards, also winning the 'Best Green Van' and 'Best Large Trades Van' categories.
