Ayvens is taking part in the Company Car of the Year event

Company cars have played an important role in renewing the vehicle fleet and the transition of powertrains in recent years, as companies purchase nearly half, 48%*, of all new cars in Finland. That is why we want to be a part of this event, where we genuinely get to hear company drivers’ assessments of the cars’ features, says Ayvens’ Commercial Director Daniela Kalpala. The list of cars available for test driving includes both familiar models traditionally among the most popular company cars and new interesting challengers.

The Company Car of the Year 2026 test drives will be organized in February–March at Premier Park in Porvoo. This is not a traditional test day, but extended evaluation period spanning several weeks that provides a comparable environment for testing different car models.

At the heart of the event are real users representing leasing companies' client companies. They test drive the cars under the same conditions and make their assessments from the perspective of a company car user. Voting rights are granted only to participants who drive all ten candidate cars, and voting is conducted digitally and anonymously.
