Top leasing deals for summer 2019
Summer is almost upon us and we’re turning our attentions to three top business leasing deals, all focusing on space. We’ve a pair of elegant, executive estate cars - perfect for some grand touring - plus one of the most comfortable and capable vans currently available on the market.
Grace, Space and Pace
The XF Sportbrake epitomises these famous words of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons. And when it comes to space, the XF Sportbrake (Jag’s smart take on the estate) excels with a colossal 1,700 litres with the rear seats flat. Pace isn’t bad either: the smooth and powerful 250PS two-litre Ingenium petrol engine propels the mighty XF from 0-62mph in under seven seconds.
The range-topping Portfolio is packed with equipment from the powered tailgate to keyless entry. The cosseting interior won’t disappoint either with Windsor leather seats and upgraded Meridan sound system.
A grand tourer
The Touring version of BMW’s finely-handling 3-Series is arguably the pick of the crop. With all the respected driving dynamics of the saloon plus additional cargo space within a compact estate body, you really can have the best of both.
Topping the trim levels is the M Sport Shadow Edition which includes aerodynamic body kit, LED headlights and M Sport suspension. The interior is graced with Dakota leather upholstery with blue stitching, sport seats for driver and front passenger, M Sport leather steering wheel and ambient lighting.

Vantastic
The Citroën Berlingo van has won many fans among tradespeople, couriers and indeed anyone simply needing a versatile load carrier. The new Berlingo brings contemporary Citroën styling with the high nose, slender grille and chunky forms that we have seen in the latest range of cars.
This latest Berlingo model also delivers a one-tonne payload, torquey 1.5-litre diesel and cavernous 3,300 litre of load space. Importantly, the M length offers over three metres of load length and 1.236m load height.
It’s not light on equipment either: it includes the modular folding passenger seat, electrically folding door mirrors, nearside sliding door for additional access and the all-important rear parking sensors.
