What are the best cars for nurses?

Motorfinity provides an insight into the key areas you should consider.

With nursing undoubtedly a key cornerstone of the NHS, it’s essential that nurses can commute to work with ease. And with over 70% of nurses travelling to work via car, the importance of a dependable vehicle speaks for itself. 

But, what are the best cars for nurses? 

In this article, Motorfinity outlines:  

• The 5 crucial areas a nurse should consider when in the market for a new car 
  
• Our recommended cars 
  
• How you can enquire today 

#1: Reliability 

A reliable car should be a minimum requirement, especially for a nurse. If a car is prone to breaking down, it will inevitably cause headaches where commuting is concerned.  

The consequences of this? Costly repairs in addition to finding other transport options, all of which eat into both your time and finances. 

When looking for a reliable car, ensure that it: 

• Is a brand renowned for consistency 
  
• Has proven engineering quality (e.g. engines used across multiple models) 
  
• Meets outstanding manufacturing standards 

Our recommendation – Toyota Corolla Touring 

Japanese brands such as Toyota have built an impressive reputation for reliability. These cars simply won’t let you down and will be dependable for the longest of commutes!

#2: Fuel efficiency 

Nurses rack up the miles week on week, so a car that is affordable to run is a key consideration.  

An inefficient car will lead to a significant portion of your hard-earned wages going towards fuel. Frustrating, right? Especially when there are many fuel-efficient vehicles on the market. 

Examples of good fuel efficiency are: 

• Petrol and hybrid – 50-70 mpg  
  
• Diesel – 65-75 mpg 
  
• Electric – 4-5 miles per kWh 

Our recommendation – Toyota Yaris Cross 

Not only are Toyota cars reliable but they’re also very economical on fuel! A great example is the Toyota Yaris Cross, which can see an impressive efficiency of up to 70 mpg.

#3: Comfort 

If you’re commuting daily, then a comfortable driving experience is essential.  

The prolonged time that nurses spend in their car means that being uncomfortable can be a detrimental start to the day. Instead, your car should be the sanctuary you deserve, starting the day with a positive mindset while able to relax on your way home.  

Features that contribute towards a comfortable driving experience can include: 

• Comfortable seats 
  
• Light steering 
  
• Smooth suspension 
  
• Sufficient legroom and headroom 
  
• Responsive infotainment system 

Our recommendations – Audi A3 

The Audi A3 is a real all-rounder. With a combination of a premium-looking cabin strewn with quality materials and plenty of tech as standard, you can ensure both a comfortable and stylish commute.

#4: Safety 

Unsurprisingly, attending work safe and sound is a major priority – arguably the most important! 

Luckily, new cars go through stringent testing to ensure that they are road-safety approved. However, many include handy tech to help you avoid any potential accidents. These can include: 

• Automatic emergency braking (AEB) 
  
• Lane keeping assist 
  
• Reverse camera 
  
• 360-degree surround view camera 
  
• Adaptive cruise control 

Our recommendation – Lexus NX 

The Lexus NX is a premium car that is equipped with an abundance of hi-tech features – many of which will help to ensure your safety on the road.

#5: Storage 

The importance of storage cannot be overstated for a nurse. With uniform, equipment, and your own personal items, your car can quickly become cluttered without appropriate storage. 

The main feature to look for regarding storage is boot space. With boot storage that can suit your daily work routine, you can neatly organise your items, saving precious time and ready to start the day ahead. 

Our recommendation – Ford Puma 

The Ford Puma boasts an abundance of boot space. Offering an impressive 456 litres, it also has an additional 80 litres that sit underneath known as the aptly named ‘Megabox’.
