Best Company Cars 2022
In this blog, we rank the best company cars available in 2022. Not only do they offer BIK (Benefit In Kind) tax rates, which means a smaller amount will be deducted from your monthly paycheck to cover the cost of the car, but they also combine comfort with the latest technology and performance, whether you’re planning to use the car for business or pleasure.
BMW 3 Series 330e
The BMW 3 Series plug-in hybrid is ranked first on our list of the best business vehicles for 2022. The BMW 3 Series 330e continues the tradition of BMW saloons being the ideal executive vehicle. You get a car that is engaging to drive, has a luxurious interior, and has ultra low running costs. It also has a fuel economy rating of 200 mpg, low CO2 emissions, and can travel up to 35 miles on pure electric power.
Tesla Model 3
Next up is the full electric Tesla Model 3. It’s the cheapest model in Tesla’s line up of electric cars, and is often compared to the BMW 3 Series for its size, and its company car traits.
The Tesla Model 3 is available in three variants: Standard Range Plus, which has a 278-mile range, Long Range, which has a 360-mile range, and Performance, which has a 352-mile range. You also benefit from Tesla’s numerous Supercharger stations dotted around the country, so if you’re having to go on a long business trip, you won’t have to worry about running out of charge.
Due to the Model 3's lack of emissions, road tax is free, and company-car users will benefit from a 2% Benefit-in-Kind rate in 2022/23. In addition, the Model 3 is exempt from the London Congestion Charge and the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
Kia Niro EV
This is Kia’s second generation Niro - a replacement to the now discontinued e-Niro. The Niro EV has not only had an impressive and much bolder exterior upgrade, but it can travel further on a single charge than its predecessor, the e-Niro, giving you a range of 285 miles and 201hp.
Charging on the go is made nice and simple with the Kia Charge app, providing access to the largest number of public charging networks in the UK and Europe.
Kia's reputation for dependability is another plus, as is the Niro EV's seven-year warranty.
Mercedes A-Class (A250e)
If you prefer a hatchback-style company car over a saloon or SUV, the plug-in hybrid Mercedes A-Class A250e is a good option. The A-Class's appearance is already a winner for a company car, and the interior is well-equipped, with a striking fully-digital iPad-like instrument and infotainment setup.
On pure electric power alone, it has a range of approximately 45 miles and a combined bhp of 215. The electric motor's 221lb ft of torque makes it ideal for long motorway drives, and emissions are as low as 33g/km, meaning tax rates will be low.
With the Mercedes A250e, you truly get the whole package in a company car: good looks, a sporty, exciting drive, and impressive electric-only performance.
