If you’re looking for a company car, it needs to be
impressive. You are looking for a vehicle that conveys both success and style.
It wouldn’t hurt if it looked modern yet classy either. The car you choose to
drive when you’re a business man or woman is important. Believe it or not, it
could help you close a deal. In business, clients and investors constantly
judge people on their looks and appearance. You have to make the best first
impression possible. One way you can do this is by pulling up in the right
vehicle. But we’re not crazy. We know not everyone can afford the latest BMW or
the new supercar. Does that mean that you have to
be a step back when trying to impress clients? Of course not! We’re going to
show you what we mean in this top list of the best company cars for closing the
deal. On here, you’ll find options to meet every budget. Whether you have an
obscene amount of money to spend on your next car or you’re living on a tight
income. We guarantee you’ll love one of these options. So, let’s take a trip to
the tracks and see which is the first one to come around the bend.
After all, what’s the point in starting in the realistic when you can set foot in the ridiculous? We’ve had our hands on this particular beast and we can tell you it’s one fine machine. The car is an hybrid electric car with a backup petrol engine in case you run out of power. Due to this, it’s going to save you a lot of fuel out on the road. If you’re constantly taking long distance trips across the country, this could be the perfect choice for you. It handles well on the road and is as close to an electric powered supercar as you can get. The engine purrs like a tamed tiger but make no mistake; there’s a lot of power behind that soft sound. It will take you from 0 to 62 in 4.4 seconds and I think we can all agree that’s an impressive feat for a hybrid. That’s the good news but we have to remember power and performance aren't everything. Your company car also has to look great.
Fortunately, you’ll have no problem impressing clients in
this machine. The car looks like it’s arrived straight out of a science fiction movie. It’s sleek
yet curvaceous body seems to run on a track as it turns the corner on a road.
It’s perhaps what you imagined you’d be driving in 2016 when you were young in
the 90’s. This is every young boys dream come true. If you want to make sure
clients believe you’re ahead of the curve, this is the car they need to see you
in.
So what are the downsides? Well for starters you won’t find
much space inside. Not that this is particularly surprising due to how much
cool tech they’ve squeezed into the interior. You’ll have enough for one other
person to fit comfortably. But this isn’t the vehicle you should be using for the
morning carpool. Then there’s the price. This car, even second hand
could cost you as much as one hundred and fifty thousand. It’s a buyers market
and business is good. So, if you had some insane profit margins in your
business last year, you might want to treat yourself. If not then, let’s move
on.
Mercedes C Class
Oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz? Well, he might not
but you can certainly buy one yourself! The best part is that the C-Class is
available from Hilton Garage at just under twelve thousand
second hand. That’s a steal of a price for such a fine machine. You might be
wondering why we’ve picked this car as your new company model. Well first, let
us answer the question of why a Mercedes.

Mercedes is always a brand that has conveyed success and
prosperity. It’s one of the dream brands. If you’re driving around in a
Mercedes, whether it’s the people carrier or the supercar, you know you’ve made
it. Let’s face it, you’ll be paying a lot just for that badge on the front of
the vehicle. But that badge is crucial because it’s recognised worldwide. If
you’re driving a car that has a rock song named after it, you know you’ve made
the right decision. There’s no song named after BMW or Porsche.
The fact is there’s nothing quite like driving a Mercedes.
Are all the models as fuel efficient as the I8? Of course not but that doesn’t
mean that you won’t love the feel of driving one around town. Or out into the
country on a long commute.
The next question is, why the C-Class? Lately, cars have
been designed to have the badges integrated into the bodywork rather than
standing out. But there’s something about the Mercedes badge standing up on the
bonnet that just looks stunning. As long as you know you can keep the car safe
it’s worth buying. The C-Class also has the classic look of a
Mercedes. It’s what you think about when you dream of buying one. The long,
slick bodywork. The ostentatious interior with leather seats and a polished
gear stick. It is all perfect and it runs beautifully. You are going to love
the looks you get, not just from clients. But from everyone who sees you
driving this stunning machine.
The C class also has a lot of space in the back and four
people can fit in with a lot of legroom. You might be dropping your children
off before work in the morning. Or, chauffeuring important clients from the airport
to the office. Either way, the C-Class Mercedes is the ideal option. We think
you’ll be tremendously pleased with this choice.
Range Rover Sport
Or, perhaps you’d rather a pick a car with a little more
power underneath the hood. A car that looks and feels impressive when you drive
it, due to the sheer size of the monster. One of the most reliable machines
currently in production that will never leave you broken down at an inopportune
moment. A car that combines the supercar with an SUV and somehow...works. We
are of course talking about the Range Rover Sport and what a choice this is for
your next company car. Let’s take a look at some of the specs. It will go from
zero to sixty-two in 6.8 seconds. We’d expect that type of speed from the I8
but not from a vehicle of this size. At that point, you’ve essentially got a
supercar that’s almost the size of a Ford van! You’ll never be late for a
business meeting; that’s for sure. You won’t have to worry about fuel
efficiency either. Thanks to a slim and light body, the Range Rover Sport is
quite green.
Although surely the
best thing about the range rover sport is that you’ll be able to go
off the road. We’re not sure what you do in your time out of the
office. But if you live out in the country and love the outdoors it’s time to
experience it in all its glory. Travel across green hills and muddy dirt paths
as you cruise in comfort and luxury across the landscape. Don’t worry about
damaging the vehicle. This is a car built for a rumble in the jungle. Or, more
likely, a small pot hole in a forest.
Aesthetically, the car is also undeniably pleasing. As we
said, the crossover of a sports car and an SUV shouldn’t work, yet the results
speak for themself. It’s a beautiful car with a stylish chassi and curved body.
It looks far better than it’s boxed brother and that’s why it’s such a popular
choice.
The negatives? Well, the car is quite expensive to buy,
costing roughly sixty-two thousand. This is perhaps the perfect vehicle for the
manager of a successful company. It’s also quite expensive to keep on the road.
Both taxation and insurance will squeeze quite a lot out of your income. But we
think the car is worth the cost and we’re sure you’ll agree once you get it out
on the road.
Don’t forget that if you are thinking about a car for
driving clients around in, they couldn’t do much better than this. Put it this
way, if you were trapped in a snowstorm, this is the car you’d
want to be stuck in. You could turn the heating up and relax in the front seat.
Or take a snooze in the back. The car is just built for comfort. That’s true
whether you’re racing up a grass verge or cruising down the motorway. We
promise it will feel no different.
Does any of these company cars take your fancy? Or do you
have something entirely different in mind? Either way, we hope we’ve peaked
your interest when choosing your next business vehicle.
