EVs are making waves, but petrol-powered cars remain Australia's top choice. 

In fact, petrol models are still the most requested vehicles for novated leasing! 

Why? Because they deliver on power, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. 

For drivers who prioritize performance and convenience, petrol vehicles remain the most trusted option on Australian roads.

Power & Performance You Can Rely On

Petrol cars offer a driving experience that’s hard to beat. Whether you need the rugged durability of a ute or the smooth handling of an SUV, petrol models continue to dominate thanks to their tried-and-tested engineering. 

With instant acceleration, long-range capability, and quick refueling times, petrol vehicles remain the go-to choice for drivers who want performance without compromise. 

Unlike EVs, which may require extended charging stops, petrol models provide a seamless driving experience with minimal downtime.

For those who love adventure, petrol engines offer superior towing power, making them perfect for road trips, camping, or hauling heavy loads. 

The ability to refuel quickly and continue your journey makes them an ideal option for drivers who spend a lot of time on the road.

Reliability That Goes the Distance

Petrol engines have a proven track record for longevity and reliability. With well-established servicing networks and readily available parts, maintenance is often more straightforward and cost-effective compared to newer EV technology. This means you can hit the road with confidence, knowing your vehicle is built to last. 

Additionally, mechanics across Australia have decades of experience working on petrol models, ensuring you get expert service wherever you are.

Unlike EVs, which rely on battery technology that can degrade over time, petrol-powered vehicles are known for their endurance, making them a smart choice for long-term vehicle ownership. 

Regular maintenance is simple and cost-effective, allowing you to keep your car in peak condition for years to come.

Cost-Effective & Budget-Friendly

One of the biggest reasons Australians still choose petrol is affordability. With a novated lease, you can save even more by using pre-tax dollars to cover your repayments, reducing your taxable income. That means more money in your pocket while driving the car you love. 

Plus, petrol models often come with lower upfront costs compared to EVs, making them an accessible option for a wide range of budgets.

Another financial advantage is the widespread availability of petrol stations, which means you never have to worry about finding a charging station or installing expensive home charging infrastructure. 

This adds to the overall convenience and affordability of choosing a petrol-powered car.
