Audi A3 SE 1.2 TFSI

If you’re looking for a more up-market fleet of company cars then Audi leasing available at Lease Cars Direct is certainly worth any business’s consideration.

A light but powerful car, the Audi A3 not only has a relatively low level of carbon emission of 114 g/km but its running costs are also kept to a minimum due to the car’s well-known fuel economy with an average mpg of 57.6. Audi engineers have certainly paid close attention to detail with excellent engine and gearbox systems. 

BMW 1 Series

The BMW 1 Series has had a refresh since the 2011 model. If you’re trying to decide between models for your company car, the 116d Efficient Dynamics is definitely the 1 Series to go as it brings significant tax savings whilst maintaining power.

The one reservation that many drivers have about the BMW 1 Series is the lightness of the steering wheel – at speed, this can sometimes make you feel more vulnerable – but overall it’s a very smooth ride.

Competitive fuel economy and CO2 emissions make it surprisingly cheap to run, too, especially if you pick the 116d ED version as CO2 emissions is 99g/km and fuel costs around £9 per 100 miles.
