Hoofddorp, 1 July 2016 – A survey conducted by ALD Automotive shows that the Volvo V40 is the most popular lease car among women. Among men, the Peugeot 308 SW occupies the top position.
The survey was conducted among 10,000 of the Hoofddorp-located leasing company’s drivers during the period 1-6-2015 to 1-6-2016. It indicated that there are clear differences between men and women when it comes to choosing a lease car.
Both cars did very well in general, with the Peugeot taking first place among male lease drivers, followed by the Volkswagen Passat Variant at number two and the Volvo V40 in third place. Ladies preferred the Volvo V40, followed by the Renault Clio and the Volkswagen Golf VII. Remarkably, among men the fully electric Tesla Model S came in eighth, while no fully electric-powered vehicles made it into the women’s top 10 list.

Interestingly, women generally chose to lease cars with the energy label B (46.9%), but men preferred cars from the A category (39.6%). However, absolute CO2 emissions were much lower in the cars chosen by women than those chosen by the men.
