Best car lease deals

The best car leasing deals in October 2026

The clocks go back at the end of this month, which means two things:

1. An extra hour in bed
2. Several weeks of driving home from work in the dark before you’ve had a chance to get used to it

There’s also a half term, and the first proper cold snap that takes your breath away the minute you step out into the crisp air.

And anyone who spent the summer convincing themselves that their car was fine?

Well, they’re about to find out otherwise.

October is a sensible month to sort a new lease car. The new registration rush has settled down, dealers and finance providers are keen to keep the autumn deals moving, and you’ve got a few months of darker, colder driving ahead to appreciate things like heated seats and decent headlights.

Preconditioned cabins and heated steering wheels are, in fact, the things winter dreams are made of.

Just call us your lease car fairy godmothers, picking out some of the best October lease deals so you don’t have to trawl through page after page of deals.

Whatever you’re after, there’s a car on this list for you.

Polestar 2

Delivery from four weeks

The Polestar 2 has had a proper glow-up.

Gone is the fussy front grille, replaced with Polestar’s new SmartZone panel – a clean, grille-free nose that makes the whole car look sharper and more confident.

Then there’s the choice of set-ups. The Standard Range Single Motor gets you up to 344 miles (WLTP Comb) from 272hp, while the Long Range Single Motor is the one to go for if range matters most, stretching the figure to 409 miles (WLTP Comb).

Want more urgency instead?

The Long Range Dual Motor brings all-wheel drive, 421hp, and 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds, with up to 370 miles (WLTP Comb) still on tap.

Inside, Google built-in comes as standard, so Maps, Assistant, and the Play Store are all baked into the car. Add a Bowers & Wilkins sound system, a fully vegan WeaveTech interior (or Nappa leather, if you’d rather), and Polestar’s minimalist Scandinavian design, and you’ve got an EV that feels like a set-up, not just a sensible choice.

MG S6

Delivery from four weeks

The MG S6 is a big, capable electric SUV that comes loaded with more kit – and delivers more range – than you’d reasonably expect at this price point.

The headline figure is 329 miles (WLTP Comb), which puts it comfortably ahead of many similarly priced rivals and makes even longer journeys feel relaxed. Under the bonnet, a 241bhp rear-wheel drive motor delivers a 0-62mph time of 7.3 seconds. 

Inside, the S6 makes a strong impression.

The cabin is well-built and noticeably upmarket for the money, with soft-touch materials throughout, a 12.8-inch touchscreen, and a thoughtfully considered layout. Keyless entry, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay all come as standard.

And space is a highlight.

Five six-footers will fit inside the S6 with relative ease. The front and rear offer impressive legroom, the cabin is wide and airy, and there’s plenty of shoulder room across the back row.

Backed by a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the MG S6 makes a serious case as one of the most well-rounded, well-equipped electric SUVs available at this price.

Nissan Qashqai

Delivery from four weeks

Few cars have earned the title of ‘default family SUV’ quite as thoroughly as the Nissan Qashqai, and the latest version gives you more reasons than ever to stick with it, rather than looking elsewhere.

There are two ways to have your Qashqai.

The e-POWER setup drives the wheels purely with an electric motor, topped up on the move by a small, efficient petrol engine. Alternatively, there’s the Mild Hybrid petrol, which pairs a petrol engine with a lithium-ion battery for a bit of extra shove and better efficiency around town.

Inside, the sharper, clearer digital displays sit alongside Google Built-in, bringing Maps, Assistant, and the Play Store directly into the car.

Higher grades add a panoramic glass roof, a Bose Premium Audio system, and a head-up display projected onto the windscreen, while ProPILOT Assist takes the stress out of longer motorway stints.

A roomy cabin, sensible running costs, and Nissan’s reputation make the Qashqai one of the easiest cars on this list to recommend.

Changan Deepal S07

Delivery from four weeks

Changan is a newer name in UK driveways, but the Deepal S07 makes a confident first impression.

It’s a mid-size electric SUV with a 295-mile range (WLTP Comb), a 160kW rear-mounted motor, and a 0-62mph time of 7.9 seconds, which is more than enough pace for daily driving without feeling like you’re wrestling it into submission.

Rapid charging takes the battery from 30% to 80% in around 35 minutes, and every S07 comes with Vehicle-to-Load as standard, so you can run camping gear, power tools, or anything else that needs a plug straight from the car.

Inside, there’s a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, an augmented reality head-up display and vegan leather trim throughout, alongside a decent 510-litre boot and a useful 125-litre frunk under the bonnet for charging cables or odds and ends.

A full suite of driver assistance tech and a generous standard specification are the cherry on top.

Volkswagen Tayron

Delivery from four weeks

The Volkswagen Tayron is what the modern seven-seat family SUV should look like.

Replacing the Tiguan Allspace, the VW Tayron brings the same platform and interior technology found in the current Tiguan, but with considerably more space, a proper third row of seats, and a boot that handles whatever family life throws at it. With 850 litres of luggage room when the third row is folded, the load bay is substantial. 

And with all seven seats in place, there’s still 345 litres to work with.

The second-row bench slides fore and aft, letting you balance legroom between the middle and rear rows depending on who you’re carrying. The third-row is easily accessed, and levers in the boot allow the rear seats to fold without needing a degree in contortion.

Practical, considered details throughout.

Those details follow through into the cabin. Premium leather-like materials, a well-thought-out layout, and a 12.9-inch intuitive touchscreen are just the start. 

From Style trim upwards, three-zone climate control, heated front seats with a massage function, and a heated steering wheel all come as standard.

Five-star Euro NCAP score. Seven seats. 850 litres of boot space. If that combination is what you need, the Tayron is the car lease for you.

BYD SEAL

Delivery from four weeks

The BYD SEAL is proof that electric saloons still have their place in this brave new SUV-dominated world.

There are two ways into it.

The Design trim is rear-wheel drive with a 354-mile WLTP Comb range, while the Excellence AWD adds a second motor for all-wheel drive, 530PS, and a 0-62mph time of 3.8 seconds.

Both are built with BYD’s own Blade Battery, designed to be more resistant to overheating than many rival battery types, and both will take a rapid charge from 10-80% in around 26 minutes.

Inside, Nappa leather seats, a 15.6-inch touchscreen and a 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system come as standard, while Excellence adds a head-up display for good measure. A front boot under the bonnet and a generous 485-litre main boot means practicality hasn’t been sacrificed for style, and Vehicle-to-Load means the SEAL can run external appliances (like a kettle) straight from the battery.

If you want an electric saloon with pace and a solid amount of kit, the BYD SEAL deserves a look.

Vauxhall Corsa

Delivery from three weeks

The Vauxhall Corsa has been a staple of UK driveways for decades, and the latest iteration keeps it right at the top of the small car class.

Choose from a 1.2 Turbo petrol, a Turbo Hybrid for a bit of extra efficiency around town, or go fully electric with a choice of 50kWh or 51kWh batteries, offering up to 266 miles (WLTP Comb) depending on the version you pick.

All three options share the same Vauxhall PureTech underpinnings, so whichever one you choose, you’re not missing out on the essentials.

Every Corsa comes with Intelli-LED headlights, lane keep assist, and a forward collision alert as standard, while GS and Ultimate trims add a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated vegan leather seats and a heated steering wheel.

Compact, well equipped, and easy to live with, the Corsa remains one of the simplest small car leases to recommend.

Geely Starray

Delivery from four weeks

Geely is one of the newer names making a push into the UK market, and the Starray EM-i is its answer to the plug-in hybrid SUV question, badged a ‘super-hybrid’ for good reason.

Rather than forcing a choice between electric and petrol, the Geely Starray lets you switch between the two depending on what the day needs. Entry-level Pro models offer up to 51 miles of range (WLTP Comb), while the range-topping Ultra pushes that to 84 miles.

0-62mph takes 8 seconds, so it’s no slouch either.

Inside, a 10.2-inch instrument cluster sits alongside a 15.4-inch central touchscreen as standard, both running wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Max and Ultra trims add a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and memory-equipped driver’s seat and a 1,000-watt, 16-speaker Flyme Sound System.

Voice control is standard too, so asking it ‘Hi Geely, take me home’ isn’t just a gimmick.

It really will take you home.

Lepas L8

Delivery in four weeks

Lepas is another new name, and the Lepas L8 is its opening statement: A large, elegant SUV with a confidence that doesn’t shout at you.

Power comes from a plug-in hybrid system producing 279bhp, enough for a 0-62mph time of 7.9 seconds, while a 2800mm wheelbase translates to a spacious cabin for everyone on board.

Combined fuel and battery range stretches up to 745 miles (WLTP Comb), with up to 56 miles of pure electric driving for the daily commute.

Inside, the L8 leans into comfort. Massage, heating and ventilation feature on the front seats, while multiple layers of acoustic insulation make for a notably quiet cabin.

An active fragrance system, a versatile rear tray table, and a 10-airbag safety system round out a premium package.

Volkswagen Tiguan

Delivery from four weeks

The Volkswagen Tiguan remains one of the smartest all-rounders in the family SUV class, and it’s easy to see why it’s Volkswagen’s best-selling model worldwide.

The Tiguan strikes an impressively good balance between comfort and agility.

The ride rounds off bumps and potholes with ease, the steering is well-weighted and confidence-inspiring, and body control stays composed even when you pick up the pace, all while remaining a relaxing car for the daily commute.

Standard equipment is generous from the off, including 18-inch alloy wheels, three-zone climate control, wireless phone-charging, a 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors with a reversing camera.

For the best-in-class family SUV, look no further.

FAQs

How does car leasing work?

Car leasing – or Personal Contract Hire – is one of the most straightforward ways to get behind the wheel of a brand-new car.

You choose the car and agree your contract terms: How long you’d like the lease to run and your annual mileage allowance. You’ll then make an initial payment upfront, followed by fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract.

At the end of the lease, you simply hand the car back to your finance provider and you’re free to move straight into something new.

No depreciation to worry about, no haggling over part-exchange values, and no hassle selling it on.
