Readers of Fleet News Magazine have voted the Audi A4 Company Car of the Year in the top selling fleet title’s 2009 awards, providing further evidence of the cost effective compact executive’s ever increasing popularity among the business community. The desirability and viability of the A4 was also emphasised by a second award in the Best Large Premium Car category.
During the judging process for the Company Car of the Year Award hundreds of fleet managers added their online votes to those of a panel of industry experts chaired by former Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders chairman Christopher Macgowan. In the latest issue of Fleet News the panel explains its decision by writing: “The Audi A4 was a clear winner with Fleet News readers. They obviously agree with the Awards judging panel, recognising the A4’s talents. The new model gains extra interior room over its predecessor, has improved residual values and therefore lower whole life costs, while retaining the huge choice of models available – saloon, Avant, front or four-wheel-drive, and a wide choice of engine and gearbox options.”
The Company Car and Best Large Premium Car awards were presented to Head of Audi Fleet Sales Iain Carmichael during a ceremony held at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on March 18th. Iain was especially encouraged by the headline Company Car trophy because of the considerable input Fleet News readers have in deciding on its recipient. “It’s always great to win awards, but there’s one thing that makes the Company Car of The Year award really special – it’s voted for by the readers of Fleet News”, he said. “The fact that they have voted for the A4 reflects the fantastic work being done by Audi Centres in providing customers with great cars and outstanding service.
