Volvo EX30

Delivery in four weeks

Volvo's smallest car in decades doesn't feel like a compromise — it feels like a genuinely brilliant little electric SUV with the performance to back up its looks.

Available in two battery sizes (51kWh and 69kWh) with rear or four-wheel drive, the Long Range version offers up to 279.6 miles of range (WLTP Comb).

Go for the range-topping P8 AWD Performance and it's properly rapid too, covering 0-62mph in just 3.6 seconds.

Inside, Scandinavian minimalism meets a genuine sustainability story. Recycled materials and denim-style upholstery feature throughout, and Volvo says the EX30 has the lowest lifecycle carbon emissions of any car it's built.

It's nippy and nimble around town, with compact dimensions that make it a joy down narrow lanes and easy to park in tight spaces.

DC rapid charging of up to 175kW takes the battery from 10-80% in around 28 minutes, and bi-directional charging comes as standard.

Distinctive, quick, and genuinely fun to drive, the EX30 stands out from the compact SUV crowd.

Polestar 4

Delivery from four weeks

When Swedish design meets Chinese engineering, you get the Polestar 4.

This electric coupe-SUV doesn’t just look the part, but it's also filled to the brim with the latest and greatest in tech.

Despite its compact exterior and coupe styling, the Polestar 4 pulls off quite the magic trick – offering more boot space than its physically larger sibling, the Polestar 3.

And in classic Polestar form, they’ve gone all-out on the sustainability front too, using recycled materials throughout, but without skimping on that premium feel.

A big feature that could take some getting used to? No rear window.

So instead, you have a massive panoramic roof and a rear-view camera system that actually gives you a better view than a traditional mirror ever could. This innovative way of checking rear visibility works brilliantly.

Under the bonnet (or rather, under the floor), you’re looking at some serious electric power – up to 544 bhp, if you go for the Performance Pack. That’ll get you from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds, which is properly quick for something of this size. The WLTP Comb range sits at up to 385 miles, so no range anxiety here.

It’s unique, it’s quick, and it’s brilliantly executed. If an electric SUV with a twist is taking your fancy, the Polestar 4 should be top of your list.

BYD SEAL

Delivery from four weeks

The BYD SEAL is the most convincing car the Chinese brand has produced for the UK market — and it's genuinely difficult to overlook.

The entry-level rear-wheel drive model delivers 354 miles of claimed range (WLTP Comb) from an 82.5kWh battery, with 308bhp sending it to 62mph in 5.9 seconds. 

It's refined and composed at motorway speeds, with a premium interior to match.

Standard equipment reads like a luxury options list elsewhere: Heated and ventilated front seats, a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, a 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system, a surround-view camera and an electric tailgate are all included as standard. A six-year manufacturer warranty and eight-year battery guarantee add serious peace of mind.

For company car drivers, the 4% BiK rate makes the numbers compelling — and residual values are stronger than most rivals in this class.

Volkswagen ID.7

Delivery from six weeks

The Volkswagen ID.7 is the brand's most accomplished electric car to date. It pairs estate practicality with proper long-distance range.

Up to 433 miles of claimed range in Pro S form (WLTP Comb) to be precise.

Add in a 532-litre boot with a hatchback-style opening and limo-like rear legroom and you've got one of the most practical electric cars in its class.

Five-star Euro NCAP safety, a comprehensive driver assistance suite and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto all come as standard too.

It's near-silent on the motorway, comfortable over most surfaces, and straightforward to live with day-to-day. Plus, the 15-inch infotainment screen is responsive and well laid out, and cabin quality is a significant step up from Volkswagen's earlier electric models.

The 4% BiK rate keeps running costs lower for businesses, and the 200kW peak charging speed on Pro S models means a 20-80% top-up takes around 21 minutes.

OMODA E5

Delivery in ten weeks

The OMODA E5 arrives with a bold proposition: Serious kit, serious range, and a price tag that undercuts much of the competition.

Built around a 61kWh blade cell battery — designed so 99% of the capacity is usable at all times — the E5 delivers up to 267 miles of claimed range (WLTP Comb).

That's backed up by a smooth, refined drive that's particularly impressive around town, with progressive brakes and 211PS of instant torque getting you from 0-62mph in 7.2 seconds.

Inside, twin curved 12.3-inch screens make an immediate impression, and the soft-touch plastics, metal-effect finishes and faux-leather surfaces give the cabin a feel that punches above its price point.

Noble trim adds a Sony eight-speaker audio system, 360-degree surround-view camera, powered sunroof and a 50W cooled wireless phone charger. That’s a kit list hard to argue with at this price.

On a fast DC charger, a 30-80% top-up takes around 28 minutes. At home via a 7kW wallbox, a full charge takes around ten hours.

A five-star Euro NCAP rating and a seven-year warranty round off a compelling package from a brand that's only just getting started in the UK.

MG S6

Delivery from four weeks

The MG S6 is proof that the brand's ambitions have grown as fast as its model range.

At 4.7 metres long, it's a genuinely big family SUV — and it uses that size well. 

Three adults sit comfortably in the back, the 674-litre boot handles the weekly shop and then some, and a 124-litre frunk keeps charging cables out of the way. 

It's the kind of practicality that makes everyday life easier without you having to think about it.

The rear-wheel-drive model is the sweet spot. 

Up to 329 miles of range (WLTP Comb), a composed and surprisingly engaging drive, and physical controls for the climate and volume that mean you're not poking at a screen every time you want the fan turned down. It's genuinely easy to live with.

For the money — around the £40,000 mark — it makes rivals like the SKODA Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4 look expensive for what you get.

BYD ATTO 3 EVO

Hot offer

BYD's original UK model gets a serious update, with more range, sharper tech and a much-improved cabin.

The rear-wheel drive Design model is the pick of the range — a 74.8kWh battery delivers up to 316 miles of range (WLTP Comb), a useful step up on the outgoing car, and 303bhp is plenty for comfortable everyday driving.

Inside, the redesigned cabin ditches some of the original's quirkier styling for a calmer, more conventional look, with a new 15.6-inch touchscreen taking centre stage alongside an 8.8-inch driver display.

Built-in Google Maps and voice assistant come as standard, so you're not reliant on connecting your phone to get the best out of the infotainment.

Practicality has had a boost too, with the boot growing to 490 litres, plus a useful 95-litre frunk up front for stashing your charging cables.

Charging speeds are properly quick now thanks to an 800V electrical system, with a 10-80% top-up taking just 25 minutes.

A five-star Euro NCAP rating and generous standard equipment — heated leather front seats, a 360-degree camera and ambient lighting — round off a genuinely likeable package.

SKODA Enyaq Coupe

Delivery from four weeks

A mid-life refresh has sharpened the SKODA Enyaq Coupe's looks without touching what made it likeable in the first place. It's still one of the few coupe-SUVs that barely asks you to compromise.

The new front end, shared with the smaller Elroq, brings a small aerodynamic gain alongside the styling update, and there's a choice of rear-wheel drive 85 or all-wheel drive 85X, both with the same 282bhp and a 6.5-second 0-62mph time.

The rear-wheel drive version is the one to have.

It offers up to 365 miles of range (WLTP Comb). That’s seven miles more than the standard SUV, while the 85X trades some of that range for four-wheel traction most drivers won't need.

Inside, there's room for three adults across the back seat, helped by a standard panoramic roof, and the boot still holds a useful 570 litres despite the sloped roofline.

Charging at up to 175kW means a 10-80% top-up in under half an hour, and everyday efficiency is genuinely strong.

Stick to the smaller alloy wheels and the ride stays comfortable; go big on the options list and you'll want the adaptive chassis control to go with it.

DS No8

Delivery from four weeks

The DS No8 does executive electric motoring with a distinctly French accent, swapping the usual minimalist German playbook for an Art Deco-inspired cabin that stands out.

There's a choice of two batteries and three power outputs, with the front-wheel drive Long Range offering up to 447 miles of range (WLTP Comb) – among the longest of any EV currently on sale – while the AWD Long Range trims that back in exchange for four-wheel traction and sharper performance.

The cabin is where the No8 really makes its case.

Angular metal detailing, backlit trim and genuinely plush materials give it a boutique-hotel feel rather than a big-screen-TV-department one.

It's hushed and comfortable at speed, with laminated glass keeping road and wind noise well in check.

Plus, a heat pump comes as standard to help protect range in colder months.

Rear space is a little tighter than some rivals, but the boot is a generous 581 litres with a wide-opening tailgate for easy access.

Audi Q6 e-tron Sportback

Delivery from four weeks

The Sportback version of Audi's Q6 e-tron trades a little practicality for a sleeker roofline and, more usefully, a genuine boost in electric range.

The entry-level Sport model offers up to 334 miles (WLTP Comb), while the rear-wheel drive Performance stretches to an impressive 402 miles from its larger 94.9kWh battery.

Four-wheel drive quattro versions add an extra motor and more power, with the SQ6 Sportback e-tron quattro topping the range at 483bhp and a 4.3-second 0-62mph time, if outright pace matters more to you than range.

On the road, it's classic Audi: Composed, refined and confidence-inspiring rather than simply just playful, with well-judged steering that stays light around town and firms up nicely at speed.

Charging at up to 260kW on the bigger battery means a 10-80% top-up in around 22 minutes, and Audi's usual high-quality cabin materials and crisp dual-screen setup are present and correct throughout.

FAQs on electric car leasing

How does electric car leasing work?

Electric car leasing (also known as Personal or Business Contract Hire) is an easy way to drive your favourite car for an affordable monthly payment.

All you have to do is pick the terms of your contract – your annual mileage limit, how long you want to lease the car for, and how much you want to pay upfront – and you’re good to go. You’ll pay a fixed monthly fee for the duration of your contract, and when it’s over, you simply hand the car back to your funder and you’re free to move on to a new car.

It’s a hassle-free way to drive the latest cars, which – especially in the world of EVs, where new and exciting tech is being released yearly – means you’ll be able to stay up to date.

And you don’t have to worry about depreciation and losing tons of money when it comes to selling your car on. That’s all handled for you.

Sounds good, right?

Which electric car is right for me?

If you're unsure which EV is right for you, there are a few things to consider when deciding which electric car to lease.

Like any car, you want to make sure it's suitable for your lifestyle. Most things – size and monthly cost – remain the same whether it's fuelled by petrol, diesel, electricity, or pulled by an ox.

Size matters:

• Got a big family? You'll want something like the MG S6 or Polestar 4
• Just need a little town runaround? Look at the Renault 5 or Dacia Spring

Range is a key consideration:

Unlike with a combustion engine car, you'll want to consider the range of the electric lease deal you're looking at.

• If you can charge at home or work and don't often do long journeys, most EVs will suit you fine
• If you do lots of long motorway drives, go for something with a larger range to minimise charging stops

However, with electric ranges improving all the time, you'll find that most EVs are suitable.
