COMPANY CAR & VAN AWARDS 2022

It’s been another great year of stunning new cars and vans Perhaps we thought that 2021 could only be better than 2020? In the end Covid subsided, but the global supply of semi-conductors faltered, meaning that dealerships struggled to get new vehicles to sell and in the short term, this looks set to continue through 2022. It means that, from an SME fleet perspective, leasing that new car, van or pick-up meant waiting longer for your vehicle to arrive. But despite the challenges, the new vehicles coming on stream were superb, with a host of innovative, exciting

models in both car and van form to choose from. Electrics were at the very centre of this new wave as manufacturers embraced the new powertrains with enthusiasm, bringing forward the next generation of cars and vans. You’ll see over the following pages that our annual Company Car & Van Awards reflect this, with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 our Car of the Year. Read on to find out who’s won.

Car of the Year: Hyundai IONIQ 5

Hyundai UK’s Robin Hayles with the IONIQ 5’s CC&V Car of the Year Award

CC&V verdict... IONIQ 5 ... In a year where more electric cars appeared then ever before, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 stood out above the rest and that’s why it’s our Car of the Year 2022. The highest praise we can give it, is that it’s the first electric car we’ve driven that has tempted us to make it our own company vehicle. Not only does it look fantastic, both inside and out, but it’s spacious, very well equipped and the on-board tech is some of the best out there. Factor in a real world range of 250 miles, 1% BIK and company car drivers should be taking a long hard look.

SUV Plug-In Car of the Year: Hyundai TUCSON CC&V verdict... Hyundai TUCSON... There was a raft of plug-in mid-range SUVs to choose from this year but we felt that the TUCSON PHEV pips all the others to the post and is a deserved winner of our SUV Plug-In Car of the Year for 2022. Visually it stands out from the crowd, it’s comfortable, spacious, quiet and refined. Furthermore, all Hyundais come with a five-year warranty and you’ll not want for any safety features, either. For company car drivers, the low BIK is a bonus and makes this the one to choose.
