Following our recent Volvo XC60 review, we thought we would follow up with another; this time, we are showcasing the Volvo XC60 DIESEL ESTATE D5 [220] R DESIGN Nav 5dr AWD Geartronic courtesy of our car rental partners, Enterprise in Leigh. We have worked with the Enterprise team for about 5 years now and can truly recommend their services if you are looking for short-term car or van hire in the Manchester area…
At CarLease UK we offer contract hire and leasing services to personal and business customers who are looking for more long term solutions i.e. 2 years and above. We do not offer daily or weekly rental service here, so you would need to speak to Enterprise for those types of offers.
You have to remember that what we offer here is an alternative to you purchasing your cars.
In terms of the Volvo option here, it based in the following:
· Metallic – Osmium grey
· Nubuck leather/textile – Off black
· 18″ Ixion III matt black diamond cut alloy wheels
The SUV market in the UK is following the trends of the USA and more and more customers are wanting this style of vehicle. Traditionally customers would want a small city car and couple that with an MPV style vehicle. However, due to budgetary constraints we are finding customers are looking to have one car and that a vehicle must essentially serve all purposes – spacious, stylish, high specification, 4×4 capability. The MPV vehicles like the Seat Alhambra, VW Touran and Ford Galaxy no longer provide all of these facets; not to mention the fact that these are expensive machines. However, with pressure being placed on diesel-style vehicles, will we see a continued change in trends and a move to petrol/electric/hybrid SUV options?
It will be interesting see after the general election which way this goes.
In terms of specification on the Volvo XC60 shown here, you will benefit from some great standard options – 18” alloys, cruise control, leather/textile upholstery, Sensus connect high, rain sensing wipers, Stability and traction control, hill descent control, hill start assist, Bluetooth, PCC car communicator, sports chassis, mats, bod coloured features, rear spoiler, roll stability control and cruise control. In terms of additional factory options – add the winter pack, dark tinted glass and rear parking camera for a compete solution.
On the technical side, the 2400CC 6 speed auto here delivers an impressive 220ps which can propel the car to 62 in 8 seconds. For company car users, note the £39,665.00 P11d and 149g CO2/km. Maybe a personal car allowance from the company may be the more pragmatic choice here? On running costs for the Volvo, the combined MPG is 49.6 and service intervals are set at every 12 months or 18,000 miles. Again, with the shorter term service obligations, perhaps a funder-maintained arrangement to include all servicing, tyres and maintenance would be a consideration.
If you are a high mileage leasing customer, you probably need to drop to the XC60 D4 (190) for a more cost-effective experience!
Looking for your next SUV is probably not high on the agenda on a beautiful May morning … you are probably thinking a BMW or Mercedes convertible! However, let’s face it, summer lasts for about a month and with economic certainty underpinning the impending election, we all need to make practical choices.
An SUV option just might be the right on for you. However, with great middle-class options in the Hyundai Tuscon and Kia Sportage plus luxury leasing offers with the Range Rover Evoque, Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC and BMW X3, making a firm decision is not easy…
