    Hi my job is looking to replace the company 4X4 commercial car. I am currently driving a 08 Land Rover Freelander and really like it. The budget is between 25 - 30K. What are currently the best options out there for another commercial 4X4.

    Thanks

    Still some of the Kuga 4x4 Commercials around. Retail around €27k as most have Bluetooth and Metallic - that would be my first choice.

    Hyundai iX35 is available as a commercial in both 2wd & 4wd. Do you need 4x4 for what you do, or is it just the type of vehicle you are looking at? 2wd would be adequate for most users, and gives lower running costs.

    There's no Freelander commercial listed in the commercial sales guide, so not sure if they are even still doing one. No Kia Sportage Commercial listed either.

    There is still the possibility of getting stuff converted. I've just ordered an Evoque commercial for someone. It's not an official LR advertised vehicle, but one of the dealers is advertising them for sale so LandRover Ireland allowed us to get one done, but weren't over the moon about it. Cost is more or less the same as the passenger version though, so the only benefit is the driver's BIK.

    Just what they'll want for the Evoque image, a load of non commercial commercials with rear widows blacked out.

    Good point on the 4wd V's the 2wd. For my requirements the 2wd would suffice. I thought the rules had changed regarding conversions. I know the Freelander was a conversion back in 2008.

    Forrester commercial would be a good car.

    Hi

    We did nothing with this back in June but it is back on the cards now. Can anyone tell me if there is any new offerings on the market. What new cars are on the or coming on the market etc.

    Again really liked the comfort and style of the freelander

    Thanks
