You Absolutely Will Believe Which Car Is The Most Popular With Premier League Footballers

The most popular car among Premier League footballers is apparently the Range Rove Evoque, because of course it is.

According to data supplied by finance provider JBL Capital, a company that arranges loans for wealthy individuals like footballers, the Evoque is the most popular car, pipping none other than the Lamborghini Aventador to first place.

Strangely, though, the rest of the top 10 is filled with exotica like the Ferrari F12, Porsche 911 GTS, McLaren 675LT and the Bentley Bentayga. Speculate all you like about whether the Evoque’s ‘win’ shows how many are bought as second cars for significant others. We’re not going there.

Explaining why super-rich footballers might want to use finance instead of buying outright (let’s be honest, we’re all wondering), Darren Selig, CEO of JBR Capital said:

“Footballers want the monthly cost of the loan to be as low as possible, so they can remain flexible. They would rather spend large sums on investments such as property, and do not want to over-extend their budget with outright purchases. They also generally run finance deals from two to four years, as these allow them the most flexibility.

“Many finance companies don’t loan to footballers given the up-and-down nature of their business. It’s a cut-throat world and your contract could be torn up at any moment. The flipside to that, of course, is that you could find yourself with a new contract with a club in Spain or Germany – so again you need the flexibility that finance provides.”

Well, then. Now we know. The top 10 cars with Premier League footballers, according to JBR, is as follows:

1. Range Rover Evoque
2. Lamborghini Aventador
3. Mercedes-Benz Onyx G6 GLE Coupe
4. Bentley Continental GT
5. Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
6. Lamborghini Huracan
7. Jeep Wrangler Kahn Sahara
8. Porsche 911 GTS
9. Bentley Bentayga
10. McLaren 675LT Spider
