NEW BMW X1 Great lease deals

Well the BMW X Range gets a new baby edition in the X1 (I am sure that was a rocket in the 60′’s)

And the amazing thing is that they are only putting a diesel engine in the new Baby X1! With a choice of 2 ltr or 2.3 Diesel powerplants and stop start technology as the norm these days.

Why an X1 well for this type of SUV it really comes alive, though, is in corners. The steering is loaded with feel and inspires you to explore the incredible grip available. The Body roll is kept in check by a firm suspension set-up, and for a car of this size, refinement at motorway speeds is excellent.

You could of course look at the Audi Q3 or even the Ford Kuga as this market gets more saturated.

Think of the 3 series touring only more practical and I suspect the big seller will be the rear wheel drive version, though the 4×4 version does provide great traction.

Like most BMW cars we expect a lot of BMW X1 leases to be done in the coming months

Geely to buy Volvo!!

Who are Geely? That’s my initial thought when I heard the news that Ford are planning to contract even further and dispose of their prestige brands, land rover sold off, Jaguar sold off, Aston Martin sold off and finally Volvo?

How times are changing a decade ago they were buying all the prestige brands and from the Prestige automotive group, now it’s nearly all been sold off as Ford look to plug the accounts.

So who are Geely?

Geely used to make the cheapest cars in China, but it has been moving towards appealing to more affluent customers. And is looking to put a serious bid on the table to take over Volvo cars with Ford looking to sell all the business.

If you think how much Volvo have improved there image in the past decade and a half, from the T5 that wowed everyone as an exciting fast Volvo to the latest XC90 4wd crossover. The Geely company are going to get a great brand. Obviously they won’t be looking at car leasing to take ownership of the brand but if your looking at Volvo car leasing then give us a call today on 08000 588 660
