Hyundai Business Editions: how interesting are they really?
What makes the Hyundai Business Editions interesting?
According to the manufacturer, the new Business Editions are distinguished not only by their attractive lease rates, but above all by their rich equipment.

Heat pump and battery heating
Thanks to the heat pump and battery heating of the battery-electric models, the range remains optimal even at low outside temperatures. In addition, pre-conditioning ensures that the interior is already at the desired temperature before departure, so the driver always steps into a pleasantly warm or just cooled car. This is quite handy for business use.
Conclusion: you get a lot for little with Hyundai’s Business Editions. It is important to do good market research. Because other manufacturers also respond to the lease driver with so-called Business Editions. Hyundai seems to have its affairs in this area well in hand.
