Best Car Leasing Deals of 2009: People Carrier

A bourgeoning sub-category known as the ‘sports crossover’ sits in this sector along side the traditional people carriers, whether seven seaters or simply spacious five seaters. Also, perhaps confusingly, they are known as MPVs.This year saw Citroen rule the people carrier section, continuing a tradition of practical and affordable MPVs and people carriers. Providing room for the crew came the seven seat Citroen Berlingo Multispace and smaller offering, the Nemo Multispace. Add this to the hugely popular Picasso range, and you see that Citroen had a fantastic year.Winner: Auto AdvantageCommended: Windmill LeasingCommended: Clever LeasingAs one of the fastest growing sectors, Citroen was not alone in introducing new models. Renault introduced a new Kangoo and Grand Scenic, Toyota brought in a new Verso and quirky Urban Cruiser, Nissan introduced a seven seat Qashqai, while Kia brought out the funky Soul and Fiat-the chunky Qubo.Keen to get a slice of the action within this busy sector, many car leasing companies sent in their nominations for the Best People Carrier Deal.Yet the overall winner went to a deal on the Vauxhall Zafira, a familiar favourite on our sister site SaveMoneyOnCars.co.uk, where it was the top search for a number of months through the summer of this year.
