With the financial year coming to an end, many business owners are reconsidering their options when it comes to company cars, and more than ever, fuel efficiency is a key priority for business users.

As well as reducing a company's carbon footprint, fuel efficient vehicles can save you money on fuel and tax. And now Saab dealers in the Midlands are offering the best of both worlds, with all the benefits of a low emissions engine without compromising on performance.  

Saab's 9-3 range now features the cleanest, low-carbon Saabs ever produced with three optimised twin-turbo engines across the range in the 9-3 Saloon, SportWagon and Convertible. Currently available on contract hire from £289 a month*, the most powerful version, the 1.9-litre TTiD 180hp manual saloon has been refined to not only offer incredible power, but also deliver just 119g/km CO2, making it the most efficient four-cylinder diesel engine in its class.

With such optimum fuel efficiency, the latest Saab 9-3 range is a perfect choice for business car users taking it below the 120 g/km taxation threshold and making it tax-exempt for vehicle excise duty.

Meanwhile, making a distinct impression, the all new Saab 9-5 Saloon, Saab's most advanced car to date is now available for business users on contract hire from £329 a month**.

Featuring an industry-leading all-wheel-drive system, pioneering driving technology and adaptive chassis control, this executive vehicle is built for optimal handling and agility. Variable effort steering adapts to the driving conditions, seamlessly shifting suspension, steering, engine power and torque distribution for the ultimate drive.

Saab's 30 years of experience in turbocharging ensures strong performance with impressive fuel economy for both the 2.0-litre 190 hp twin turbo diesel engine and the 1.6-litre 180 hp turbo petrol engine. Reinforcing Saab's 'right size' engine strategy and focusing on responsible performance throughout, the 9-5 offers tax-pleasing CO2 emissions as low as 139 g/km.

Matthew Moore, Dealer Principal at Stratstone Saab Birmingham, comments: "We're delighted to be offering such competitive contract hire rates on two of our newest models, with low initial payments and an optional maintenance agreement to help keep your fleet running as smoothly as possible at all times.

"Many companies are now looking for ways to reduce their impact on the environment without taking away any of the enjoyment of driving, and Saab's experience in turbo-charging engines means that we can really offer the best of both worlds."

Saab's contract hire plan is all about making things simpler. The plans, which come with a low initial payment as well as the attractive fixed monthly rate, also mean you no longer need to worry about selling your Saab at the end of contract - it's all taken care of. You can even cover your running costs too, with an optional maintenance agreement.
