Victory for BMW UK at Fleet News Honours.
BMW
has defended its title of Fleet Manufacturer of the Year, for the
second year in a row while the BMW 7 Series won Best Luxury Car award
and BMW X1 was awarded the Best Premium Crossover at the 2017 Fleet
News Honours.
Fleet World judges, said: “BMW has an intimate understanding of
fleet needs that’s unmatched in the market. So not only do drivers get
a broad range of desirable, low-CO2, high-tech vehicles to choose
from, but the support for operators is first rate. Standard-fit
connectivity means fleets and leasing companies can now use on-board
data to proactively book workshop time, and the aftersales charter
guarantees the most convenient turnaround too. It’s an offering that
continues to set the benchmark.”
News of the overall title comes at the same time as the BMW 7
Series was also crowned the Best Luxury Car. It was praised for being
a technological tour de force within the market but also for its
efficiency especially with the Plug-in Hybrid model offering of the
BMW 740e and 740Le xDrive.
The BMW X1 was awarded the title of Best Premium Crossover.
Judges were impressed with its MPV-like flexibility, the choice of
engines and the driving characteristics of the BMW X1.
BMW i3 Range Extender wins Business Car Manager’s Green
Company Car award.
Business Car Manager has awarded
the BMW i3 94Ah Range Extender the title of Best SME Green Company Car
at this year’s awards ceremony.
After beating strong competition, the Business Car Manager
judges, commented: “The latest BMW i3 is a great mix of reasonable
whole life costs, performance, low tax and style.”
The BMW i3 was also commended for its sustainable,
energy-efficient production methods and attractive finance offering
from just £239 per month.
