Ford Mondeo named top fleet car

The Ford Mondeo has topped a poll to find the UK's most popular fleet car, with 20 per cent of the votes.

FleetDirectory.co.uk's shortlist also featured the BMW 3-Series , which garnered 14 per cent of votes and the Audi A6 which received 13 per cent of the vote.

According to the firm, the Mondeo's competitive pricing, class-leading safety specifications and low running costs have made it a popular fleet car.

Spokesperson for FleetDirectory.co.uk, Richard Lawton, said: "The Mondeo is a very popular, long-established model, fleets and fleet managers trust in its solid manufacture. Add this to its smart innovations over the year, including the recent addition of the ECOnetic technology and the Mondeo is understandably very popular as a fleet car."

Last year, Ford sold more cars in the UK than any other manufacturer, according to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

The Fiesta and Focus proved the most popular models with consumers.
