Infiniti Q50 to target fleets 23 | 10 | 2013

INFINITI WILL INCLUDE a version of its new Q50 (pictured), which enters Scottish showrooms in the middle of November, specifically designed for business users.

The Executive-badged version of the Japanese premium brand car has been designed specifically to appeal to the higher mileage user.

And in addition to being fitted with an advanced satellite navigation system, the £29,870 Executive will be available on a contract hire leasing rate of £299.99 (plus VAT) a month.

The range will also include a higher-specced Premium Executive. In addition to a satnav, it will also include heated and powered leather seats with memory and I-Key plus many other features.

The Premium Executive will cost from £33,470 or, with contract hire, £336.99 a month.

With a CO2 rating of 114g/km (manual transmission), the Q50 also delivers highly competitive benefit-in-kind tax bills for drivers. A 20% taxpayer in 2013/14 will face a benefit-in-kind tax bill of just £83.45 a month (40% taxpayer: £166.90) for the manual. In year three (2015/16) this rises to £99.56 (£199.13).

“A car of this size, power and standard specification for under £300 a month (plus VAT) is a very attractive and competitive proposition for the business user," Hannah Bishop, Infiniti UK Fleet Manager, said.

"The new Executive versions offer everything a driver expects in a car and a great deal more besides, such as our InTouch technology with dual touch-screens for a ready-to-go digital mobile office.”
