Bill Plant, one of the UK’s largest driving schools, has extended its successful relationship with Hyundai. The nationwide operation is adding ix35s to its driving school fleet, with the first lucky learners and instructors set to climb behind the wheel early next month.

Having acquired its first fleet of Hyundais three years ago, Bill Plant has become an advocate with the marque, ordering 600 i30s last year for its network of instructors. Bill Plant Ltd trains both learner drivers and instructors, and has found Hyundai to be the perfect partner.

Commenting on the company’s new arrivals, Bill Plant General Manager Jake Plant said: “We’re continually looking at ways of improving our product to both instructors and pupils alike. We chose the ix35 over other rivals due to the excellent overall driving experience, impressive CO₂ emissions and a class leading fuel economy of 54.3mpg. We have had great response from both instructors and pupils, who cannot wait to get started with the new ix35.”

The first delivery of ix35 models will be made later this month.
