Medium sized family cars are particularly popular choices for businesses choosing to lease cars. When you stop to think about it, it’s fairly easy to see why, after all, these types of cars are particularly reliable, and offer optimum comfort when being used for business purposes. The market is extensive but there are three key family car contenders that stand out from the rest when being considered for business leasing.
The facelift on the 2011 Ford Mondeo makes it a worthy consideration for business car leasing. The cabin is spacious and robust with an easy to use dashboard interface and generous standard equipment, including cruise control. The Ford Mondeo has the best handling in the family car category and is equally at home cruising on the motorway. However, the main downside to the Ford Mondeo is its sheer size, which may create difficulties parking in tight car parks. It’s worth noting that in spite of this, the Ford Mondeo won Family Car of the Year at a recent prestigious awards ceremony, thanks in large part to its practicality and superb driving dynamics.
Skoda is increasingly becoming recognised as an excellent brand and offer great cars that are frequently featured in customer satisfaction survey results. However, while many business car leases provide excellent value for money as the vehicles don’t take the financial hit that comes with rapid depreciation, Skoda does suffer from greater depreciation when compared to some of the more “prestigious” brands such as BMW, VW and Audi. Despite this, if you are looking for a great business car leasing deal then the Skoda Superb family car is definitely worth considering.
The Skoda Superb, like the Mondeo, is a large car and therefore very spacious. Various engines are available within the range and the comfort and driving performance of the vehicle is generally good. The Skoda Superb hatch also comes with a massive boot space which includes a well-designed door that opens like a hatchback for added practicality. The downside to choosing a Skoda Superb business car lease is that, again, like the Mondeo, the Skoda Superb might be too big for some people and the interior, though durable, is not as nice as, for example, an Audi.
One of the more traditionally well recognised brands of quality is Volkswagen, and a shining example is the redesigned 2011 VW Passat saloon. Choosing to lease a VW will ensure that you are driving a car that remains at the forefront of technological innovation and creativity. The Passat family car is the most refined out of the three choices and comes with thicker windows, better engines and larger amounts of sound proofing to ensure the cabin is a comfortable and relaxing place to be. The downside to this is that the car is heavier than other contenders, but the engines remain strong and the most frugal of the three listed cars.
Business car leasing any of the aforementioned cars could provide you with an excellent daily drive for the commute to work and a supremely practical and safe family car for collecting the children and transporting a large amount of luggage after hours.
