Brits believe that Santa would drive a red Land Rover

If his reindeer deserted him and the elf magic ran dry, Santa could be found driving a red Land Rover according to Brits.

A new study, conducted by UK-based personal car leasing specialists ZenAuto, asked 2,000 Brits what they thought the big man would look for in a vehicle – after all, even Santa needs a run-around for his days off.

Judging by their responses, Brits certainly believe Santa to be a rather suave chap, as several sleek and sporty car brands made their way in to the top 10 car brands they think would be driven by the man in red, including, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Lamborghini.

Top 10 Car Brands Brits think Santa Would Drive

1. Land Rover – 38%
2. Jeep – 35%
3. Rolls Royce – 29%
4. Bentley – 28%
5. Ferrari – 23%
6. Aston Martin – 22%
7. Volkswagen – 20%
8. Lamborghini – 14%
9. Mini – 12%
10. Tesla – 12%

Participants were also asked to list the colours and key features they think Father Christmas is likely to opt for, and perhaps not surprisingly, red was deemed to be his colour of choice by 7 in 10 Brits (70%).

With 195 countries to visit before Christmas Day, the nation was also quizzed about the main vehicle features Saint Nick is likely to need for his journey. The top 10 essentials included; plenty of boot space to ensure there’s room for all of those gifts (64%), a built in sat nav to help him navigate his way across the globe (52%), and heated seats for those cold and frosty mornings (41%).
