Best car lease deals

The best car leasing deals in August 2026

August is peak getting-away season.

The motorways are busier, the campsites are fuller, and everyone’s squeezing one last road trip in before the school run starts back up in September.

It’s also, conveniently, a brilliant time to swap your current car for something new.

Long journeys have a way of exposing every flaw in a car you’ve grown tired of – the boot that’s never quite big enough, the air con that can’t keep up with the ongoing heatwaves, the infotainment system you’ve never once trusted.

If any of that sounds familiar, our top lease deals for August are worth a look.

Car leasing is one of the smartest ways to drive a brand-new car for a fixed monthly cost.

You get all the benefits of a new car, including the latest tech, a full manufacturer warranty, and that new car smell, but without the hassle of ownership.

We’ve done the hard work for you and hand-picked our 10 best car lease deals for August, with a mix of electric, hybrid and petrol, across SUVs, estates and hatchbacks.

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

Polestar 4

Delivery from three weeks

The Polestar 4 is one of those cars that makes you look twice – and we mean that as a compliment.

Swedish minimalism, a panoramic glass roof, and a bold design decision that’s got the automotive world talking.

That bold design decision? There’s no rear window.

Instead, a wide-angle digital camera feeds a crystal-clear display inside the cabin, where the rearview mirror normally sits. It sounds like a gimmick, but it’s not. Once you’ve spent five minutes with it, you’ll wonder why every car doesn’t do the same.

But the Polestar 4 isn’t just a conversation starter.

It’s a legitimately brilliant lease car. The Single Motor boasts 268bhp and a 0-62mph time of 7.1 seconds, which is more than enough performance for everyday driving. The 385-mile range (WLTP Comb) means range anxiety needn’t feature in your vocabulary either.

And every Polestar 4 comes generously equipped as standard, with heated front seats, climate control, wireless phone charging, a 360-degree camera, and keyless entry straight out of the box.

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.

Hyundai Santa Fe

Delivery from four weeks

If you need proof that a seven-seater doesn’t have to mean comprising looks or fun for practicality, just spend an afternoon with the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Hyundai hasn’t just given the Santa Fe a new face, though the boxy, angular design with its H-shaped light signatures is hard to miss.

It’s focused on what a family SUV should be good at: Swallowing people, luggage, and long motorway miles without breaking a sweat.

And where the Santa Fe really earns its keep is in the back.

The middle row has enough leg room for six-footers to properly stretch out, and even the third row (usually the seats no-one wants) is genuinely spacious. Fold everything flat and you’re looking at 628 litres of boot space.

Tip runs, trips to Ikea, moving house – the Santa Fe can do it all.

Volvo EX30

Delivery from four weeks

The Volvo EX30 proves that small electric SUVs don’t need to compromise on the drive.

And if you want your electric SUV to have some real bite? Go for the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance.

The second motor brings four-wheel drive and a hefty 422bhp to the table, enough for a 0-62mph time of just 3.6 seconds. Yet, despite that pace, the EX30 stays composed and stable, as easy to drive smoothly as low speed as it is thrilling to open up.

The bigger battery gives a WLTP Comb range of 280 miles, and rapid charging gets you from 10-80% in under half an hour.

Pair it with Plus trim, and you get a car that mixes that incredible performance with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a powered tailgate, making it a practical as well as exhilarating choice.

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 6 Touring

Delivery from four weeks

Estate cars have a reputation for being sensible. The BYD SEAL 6 Touring leans into that, while quietly undercutting almost everything else in its class on price.

And even the entry-level Boost trim comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, active cruise control, 360-degree cameras and a touchscreen infotainment system, while the top Comfort model adds a panoramic sunroof and a bigger 19kWh battery good for up to 65 miles of range (WLTP Comb).

The cabin feels a cut above what you’d expect at this price too, with soft-touch plastics, ambient lighting, and a wide centre console that lends it an upmarket feel.

The finishing touch? The SEAL 6 has plenty of practical thinking on show, from a chilled central armrest compartment to a 500-litre boot that expands to 1,535 litres with the seats down.

Citroen C5 Aircross

Delivery from four weeks

Citroen built its reputation on comfort, and the C5 Aircross is the brand at its most convincing.

The clue is in Citroen’s own description – the ‘Comfort class SUV’ – and for once, that’s not just marketing spin.

The softly sprung ride does exactly what you’d hope on a long summer drive, ironing out potholes and bumps rather than letting you feel every one.

The interior takes its cues from home comforts too, with a high dashboard designed to resemble a soundbar and soft, sofa-like materials in the areas that matter most. A 13-inch touchscreen cascades down from the dashboard, complete with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

And the practicality of the C5 Aircross seals the deal.

Every version gets a 565-litre boot, along with versatile 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats that can be individually reclined.

Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer

Delivery from six weeks

Estate cars aren’t going anywhere, and the VW ID.7 Tourer makes a strong case as to why.

This is one of the most accomplished electric estates on sale. It has the space, the range, and the refinement to make long journeys effortless, and a boot that puts most of its rivals to shame.

At 605 litres with the rear seats in place, the VW ID.7 Tourer’s load bay is the largest of any electric estate on sale.

It beats the BMW i5 Touring, the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo, and everything else in between. A height-adjustable boot floor eliminates the loading lip, and a ski hatch means longer items can pass through without losing a rear seat on either side.

The interior feels suitably upmarket – perforated vegan leather, suede door inserts, and soft-touch plastics throughout – and the 15-inch touchscreen is responsive and considerably more intuitive than previous VW systems.

Three-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats with a massage function, and a head-up display all come as standard.

And with a range of up to 422 miles (WLTP Comb), the ID.7 Tourer really is an electric estate that goes the extra mile.

Peugeot 208

Delivery from four weeks

The Peugeot 208 has no business looking this good at this price point, and yet, here we are.

Step inside and you’ll find an interior that wouldn’t look out of place in more expensive rivals. Soft-touch surfaces, high-end materials, and a striking design make it one of the best small car cabins around. Full stop.

But the 208 isn’t just a pretty face.

The ride is supple and composed, more so than many of its rivals, and it’s impressively hushed on the motorway for a car of its size.

As standard, the Peugeot 208 comes with automatic lights, air conditioning, heated wing mirrors, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, TomTom sat nav, and a 10-inch touchscreen.

If you’re looking for a spectacular small car, Peugeot have got you covered.

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.
