Fastest car for lowest BIK

[thecremeegg]

So my company car is due for renewal soon and I currently have a C300 Coupe which has been great, but the BIK on it now is getting pretty stupid for what it is.
I want something a bit more practical than a coupe but still want something with a bit of poke.

As a "fun" little game, if you had around £50k to spend on a new car that can fit a bike in the boot, plus be as fast and fun as possible, what would it be?

For a baseline figure, on Comcar.co.uk the C300 Coupe Premium Plus with no options at the default £36k salary is £378 a month - what is around that's less than that but as fast or ideally faster?

Whatcha got?

330d probably

Anything electric, 1% BIK, rising to 2% next year.

Take your pick from

1. Mustang Mach E
2. Tesla 3
3. Polestar 2
4. Kia EV6
5. Hyundai Ioniq 5

This. EV will have the lowest BIK. Pick a fast one.

Tesla 3 or Polestar 2 are the answer, Mustang Mach E a bit more expensive, not sure how quick the last two are?

Bike in the boot probably means a Y over a 3.
I’m not sure any of them are “fun” tbh.

polestar 2.

Great drive, bike in the boot.

Assuming an EV might not be suitable, the obvious answer would the the C300e Estate?

312bhp, 0-60 5.5 seconds, £70 a month BIK on the comcar calculator.

Tesla 3. No brainer

Not the easiest car to get a bike in due to the awkward opening and saloon body style.

The dual motor Polestar 2 is the easy winner if EV is suitable. For £49k you can get the dual motor LR version with the power upgrade to 480hp so 0-60 in < 4 seconds, and it's a more bike friendly hatchback.

You'd need to spend £55k on a Model Y LR to get more practicality, but it won't be as quick.

Model Y is still plenty quick enough, a good 1/2 a second quicker to 60 than a 330d and much roomier and practical. I found it cheaper to lease than the top spec Ev6, ioniq 5, ariya, i4.
6k pa, equiv of £380 a month post tax with tax charge (20% tax band with student loan)

The electric cars are a decent shout but I do a lot of long journies as part of my job so they're probably out sadly.
The C300e is probably a decent shout but probably wouldn't class it as fun heh
