The Peugeot 308 has won the Best SME Company Car to Buy at this year's Busi- ness Car Manager SME Company Car of the Year Awards. Cars in this category must qualify for the 100% first year allowances to be eli- gible. This equals emissions up to 95g/ km CO2, but they must also be fun-to- drive, and the 308 stood out above the rest. "With fantastically low CO2 and ex- cellent fuel efficiency, the Peugeot 308 is clearly the choice for any SME look- ing to purchase their next company car," said managing director of Concept Ve- hicle Leasing, Paul Bulloch. One of the key reasons why the Peu- geot won, was its ultra-clean 1.6-litre diesel engine, which emits just 82g/km of CO2. It's not just the 308's CO2 figures that are impressive, this Peugeot's stylish, spacious and comfortable cabin, is per- fect for spending plenty of time in on long motorway journeys. The SME Company Car of the Year Awards 2015 is sponsored by Concept Vehicle Leasing and Fleet Alliance.
