The best company cars you can get in the UK

You've landed a new job and one of the benefits is a company car – so which of the approved models should you choose?

Well, it's not as simple as just picking a car that meets all your practicality requirements, is good to drive and has strong ratings in the other areas that are important to you. Ideally, it will also help you keep your monthly costs down by attracting a low rate of benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax.

To help you crunch the numbers and make your decision, here we list the 10 best company cars alongside the monthly cost in BIK tax for 20% and 40% taxpayers in 2025/26 (you can check any model's BIK rating using our company car tax calculator).

Alternatively, if you already know what type of company car you want but are not sure which model to get, we have some other handy guides you might find useful:

General advice to help you find the best company car

If you can, it pays to go electric for your next company car. The super-low BIK tax rate applied to models with no exhaust emissions means you'll have to hand over less than for any other type of car, including plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and regular hybrids.

Before you decide what to go for, you'll also want to consider the types of journeys you'll be doing – whether your commute is short and mostly on urban roads, for example, or if you regularly need to use the motorway – and how practical it might be for family use.

Most company cars are leased over periods of three or four years, so it's also worth thinking about whether your needs are likely to change in that time.

When speccing up a company car, be aware that making small changes can add up to big increases in your monthly bills. To learn more about that see our guide to cutting your BIK tax bill. But what are our top 10 recommendations?
