Best Cars To Buy This Christmas

When it comes to a Christmas present that your nearest and dearest will love, a new or used car is an excellent choice. If your partner or friend is a car enthusiast or is looking to upgrade their daily drive, it’s worth buying a car as a present this Christmas.

Finding the best car to buy this Christmas can be tricky as there are so many options to choose from. You may be asking yourself ‘What is the best estate car to buy?’ ‘How much does this car cost compared to other city cars?’ These are important questions to ask yourself while shopping around for a car.

If you are finding it difficult to find the right car as a Christmas present for a friend or family member, we’ve put together some of the best cars to buy this Christmas.

Toyota Prius

Toyota’s Prius is an excellent choice, particularly if you are looking to buy an environmentally-friendly car. As the Prius is a plug-in electric hybrid hatchback, it provides excellent fuel efficiency due to its 1.8 litre engine.

The Prius also has a reversing camera, which enables you to park perfectly in any car parking bay, garage or driveway. With the Prius, you will be able to park into tight parking spaces with confidence. 

When it comes to storage space, the Prius has a large boot, which makes getting all your shopping in a stress-free experience. It means that you won’t have to worry about having to spill your shopping into the backseats of your Prius.

Volkswagen Golf 

For nearly half a century, the Volkswagen Golf has been the hatchback of choice among families and car enthusiasts. When it comes to car Christmas presents to consider, the Golf should be on top of your shopping list. 

The Golf is incredibly fun to drive, due to its excellent handling on long motorway roads to tight city streets. With its 2 litre TDI diesel engine, the Golf is by far one of the most fuel-efficient hatchbacks in its class. On a single tank, the Golf delivers nearly 63 mpg, thus saving you plenty of money in the long run on fuel.

Inside the Golf’s cockpit, there’s a massive 10.25inch multi-function dash display, which is incredibly versatile. You can easily connect your Apple or Android phone to the USB port, giving you plenty of options for satellite navigation and entertainment for short and long journeys. 

Skoda Fabia

If you are looking for the perfect first car to give to someone as a Christmas present, look no further than the Skoda Fabia. Despite its small size, the Fabia boasts plenty of space for passengers in the front and back of the car. It means that you and your passengers can enjoy plenty of staycations across the UK without them being uncomfortable.

The Fabia is a couple of thousand pounds cheaper than the Golf, making it a great car Christmas present to buy on a budget. Its 1 litre TSI petrol engine holds up well with other hatchbacks in its class, particularly with fuel economy as it delivers 61.4 mpg. This puts it on par with the likes of the Nissan Micra and Peugeot 208.

Ford Ecosport

As far as compact sport-utility vehicles (SUV) go on the market, the Ford Ecosport delivers in every department. With the Ford Ecosport being a crossover between a hatchback and SUV, it’s the perfect family car for daily trips to the shops or driving to holiday destinations across the UK.

The Ford Ecosport’s interior is by far one of the most spacious and comfortable crossover SUVs in its class. Its in-car entertainment system can be connected with all phone operating systems. This means that your fellow passengers can be entertained while you have a pleasurable driving experience.

Nissan Leaf 

If your partner or family member has been wanting to upgrade their car to an electric car, why not consider giving them the Nissan Leaf? As it’s an all-electric car, you won’t have to worry about filling up at the nearest petrol station with Nissan’s Leaf.

Under the bonnet, you won’t find an engine, but a battery that powers the Nissan’s all-electric hatchback. You have the option of getting the Leaf with a 24kWh or 30kWh battery, which provides plenty of range on a single charge. The 24 kWh option delivers a maximum range of 124 miles, while the 30kWh option has an increased range of 155 miles.

When it comes to an electric car Christmas present to give to your partner or EV enthusiast, consider giving them a Nissan Leaf this Christmas.
