35. MITSUBISHI L200

PICK-UPS such as the L200 have become increasingly popular commercial vehicles in recent years, largely because of the good tax breaks they offer.

The latest trucks are also more Suv-like to drive than ever before, while still being extremely capable. Mitsubishi’s L200, for example, has loads of kit, a punchy diesel and, in doublecab layout, has room for a family. Yet its load bay can also carry over one tonne. Price range: £22,200-£36,876 Our pick: Titan Double Cab (£27,000) Engine: 2.4-litre 4cyl diesel, 178bhp Transmission: 6-spd manual, dual-range selectable 4x4 Top speed: 111mph Economy: 39.8mpg CO2: 186g/km
