Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo overtakes Ford Ranger as Select Van Leasing’s most popular LCV

Select Van Leasing has named the Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo as 2025’s most leased light commercial vehicle (LCV).

The ID. Buzz Cargo overtook the Ford Ranger, which went from first to second place in 2025, likely due to the taxation changes on double-cab pick-up trucks.

Three electric vans were among the most popular LCV models leased by Select Van Leasing in 2025.

In third place was the Ford Transit Custom, followed by the Citroën Berlingo, Volkswagen e-Transporter and Nissan Townstar Electric.

Closing out the top 10 list was the Vauxhall Vivaro, Peugeot Expert, Peugeot Partner and Nissan Primastar.

Sam Bryan, LCV and re-lease manager at Select Van Leasing, said: “For the very first time our most popular van of the year is fully electric; congratulations to the VW ID. Buzz Cargo. 

“It’s a significant moment that shows how the landscape among UK van drivers is steadily shifting, with three of the vans in our top 10 now being battery-powered. 

“An electric van may not be suitable for all customers at this moment in time, and we’ll continue to offer the best diesel and petrol LCVs on the market.
