A new study has found that nearly nine in 10 Brits judge businesses by the model and condition of the vehicles they use.

Whether they are a completely independent service or an international conglomerate, it is easy to form opinions by businesses before even using them.

However, according to a study by Wessex Fleet, the most trustworthy vehicle a business can use is the Tesla Model 3, with many Brits considering them as being advanced and attractive.

They said: "According to the survey, the Tesla Model 3 is seen as the most professional-looking car, with 35 percent of respondents voting for it.

"The Model 3's sleek design and innovative technology projects modernity, success, and a forward-thinking image - making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to convey professionalism."

According to Wessex Fleet, a staggering 88 % of Brits believe that a vehicle could change their perception on a business and whether they would want to use them.

Moreover, 72 % of those taking part in the study found stated that they would be more tempted to recommend a business to friends and family members if they like the vehicles the company uses.

In order to gain positive opinions from potential customers, the company recommended that motorists should choose a car from a premium brand that offers subtle yet modern styling and good build quality.

Wessex Fleet also suggested that businesses choose a car that is particularly practical and reliable, recommending the Skoda Octavia Estate in particular for its large boot, economical engine, and rugged appearance.

They continued: "The Skoda Octavia estate is considered the most trustworthy car, with 35% of respondents selecting it.

"Its upmarket feel, practicality, and efficient engine options, including hybrid models, make it a reliable choice for businesses aiming to build strong, dependable relationships with clients."
