SubscribeNissan Qashqai
The Qashqai has become one of the UK’s best-selling automobiles in recent years with 52,532 units sold in 2019 and it is an SUV that is popular with both individuals and businesses. From a business standpoint, the Qashqai has ample interior space and is highly comfortable which makes it highly practical to go along with its rugged good looks. It is also capable of up to 74.3mpg.
Volkswagen Polo
The iconic Polo from VW is consistently one of the UK’s best selling vehicles and came second in 2019 with 58,994 units sold behind only the Ford Fiesta (77,833). The Polo is a great all-rounder and perfect for businesses based in the city due to its small size, although it does have a decent amount of interior space. It is also comfortable, reliable and has low running costs. Additionally, due to its popularity, it is easy to find in the used car market for an affordable price.
Honda Civic
The Honda Civic is a good alternative to the Polo and another popular vehicle with both individuals and businesses. The Civic is affordable to buy and run with a practical cabin, fun driving experience and a range of trims to choose from. If you decide to buy the Civic new, it is a good idea to take out a GAP insurance policy so that you have financial protection in case the car is written off. This would see you only receive the current market value, which due to depreciation could see you significantly out of pocket.
These are a few of the most popular business cars right now and all ones which are well-suited to professionals while still being reasonably priced. Buying a new company car is a major decision to make in terms of finance and the daily operation so it is important to always take your time.
