What makes a business car a sales hit? This cannot be traced back to a single characteristic. With a number of fixed values in the VZR lease top-10 between €25,000 and €50,000 in the past year, a red line can be recognized.
What makes a business car a sales hit? This cannot be traced back to a single characteristic. With a number of fixed values in the VZR lease top-10 between €25,000 and €50,000 in the past year, a red line can be recognized.
Over the past six months, fixed values Peugeot 2008, Skoda Enyaq IV, Volvo XC40, Kia Niro and Ford Focus have once again been in the top-10. What characterizes these cars that they sell so well in the business market?
Electric form of drive
Each model is available in hybrid and/or EV variant. Especially the EV variant is doing very well. For example, with the Enyaq IV, Skoda is in second place with 2,035 registrations and of the 1,880 registered Kia’s Niro no less than 1,088 are electric. An EV is of course also favorable for the addition.
Good driving characteristics and ease of use
A business car usually covers a lot of kilometers, so it is important that the car steers well, lies well on the road and is reliable. The infotainment system and connectivity are also getting better and better among the best-selling cars in this category. A digital cockpit is more the rule than the exception, an app for your car is part of it and driving assistance systems are becoming increasingly extensive.
Spacious trunk
Since private kilometers are also covered with a lease car, it must be user-friendly and above all have a spacious trunk. For example, the Volvo XC40 (place 3 with 1,895 registrations) has between 413-460 liters and the Ford Focus (place 5 with 1,676 registrations) in the Wagon variant has no less than 608 liters. The aforementioned Enyaq IV can also be filled to the roof with 585 liters.
high seat
A high seat is no longer something for the oldies among us. The business driver is now also recognizing the advantages, such as a better view of the road and easy entry and exit. The entire top-4 consists of SUV models.
Price
Of course, the price also plays a role. A favorable price-quality ratio, in line with the lease budget, is probably one of the most important features.
