Simon Wroe, a leasing industry expert with small fleet leasing specialist Lease4Less, says the rise in popularity of the compact SUV is due to downsizing and the greater affordability of these models as company car drivers seek to reduce their company car tax without losing the practicality these cars offer.
Simon said: “Lease4Less has seen a substantial rise in the sales of crossover vehicles in recent years, with their styling, practicality and low running costs appealing to both company car drivers and private individuals.”
