If you’re reading this, chances are you’re probably looking for a new car lease

We know this is no easy task. With cars of all shapes, sizes and colour available, it can be hard to know which lease deal is perfect for you.

From premium brands such as Audi and BMW, to electric dreams from Tesla and BYD, there’s a lot to choose from when picking out your perfect lease car.

We spoke to Geoff at Young Car Driver,  to find out why he thinks car leasing is a good idea. He said, “More and more young drivers are leasing cars. This allows them to get a brand-new car at a lower price than a traditional finance agreement.

“You can probably afford a ‘nicer’ car than if you were to buy outright, but don’t get carried away. More expensive cars tend to have higher running costs, such as insurance.”

Not only is leasing a great way for new drivers to get their hands on a more affordable car, it’s a great way for anyone to get that car they’ve been dreaming of.

But making that big decision, and picking the perfect one for you, is no easy feat.

Here at Carparison, we are here to put the “ease” in your next car lease. 

We have highlighted some of our best car lease deals, meaning you get more time to make your decision rather than tediously researching each individual car yourself.

So, let’s dive straight in.

Will one of these cars be perfect for you?

Audi

Well known as being not only a premium brand, but a beloved brand.

Audi has been a leader in the car manufacturing industry for years, offering reliable and well-built German cars for all types of drivers.

Perfect for more experienced drivers, or drivers that want a spacious family car, but they also offer smaller models for newer drivers.

Audi have ticked all the boxes - there really is one for everybody.

Audi A3 

Being one of the most popular cars in the Audi range, the A3 is available as a Sportback, Saloon or Cabriolet.

The Audi A3 hit the roads in the early 1990s, and remains popular to this day.

As you’d expect from Audi, it offers durability, reliability and modern technology.

Audi A5

Similar to the A3, the A5 is best known in it's guise as a Saloon, and it's also available as a Sportback or Cabriolet. However, it differs slightly by also offering a Coupe.

This premium car ticks all boxes.

Style? Yes.

Comfortable? You bet.

Reliable? Definitely. As reliable as your trusty four-legged best friend. Just this one has four wheels instead.

BMW

Joining Audi up in the VIP club is BMW.

BMW is also known as a premium, and popular, make of car.

Once again, a brand that knows their audience, they have something for everybody – from smaller models ideal for new drivers, to stylish sportier models.

BMW 1 Series

Known as the entry-level BMW car, the 1 Series is at the forefront of the market for those looking for a quality hatchback.

It’s a car very popular with new drivers due to it being smaller in size. 

However, it manages to still have the perfect blend of space, safety, tech, build quality and badge appeal. 

BMW M2

Once again, one of BMW’s entry-level models, the M2 is the performance upgrade to the hugely popular 2 Series.

With aggressive bodystyling, adaptive M suspension and a TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine that produces 450 horsepower, the M2 is sure to get your blood pumping.

Ford lease

Ford

A fan favourite, Fords have been on the roads for years.

This old-but-gold manufacturer has been around since 1903, and has produced some of the best-loved and most respected cars in the world through its continuous product development.

Arguably one of their most popular cars, the Fiesta, has had production discontinued. 

However, this switch-up is to create more space for even more development, with the Fiesta plant becoming a fully battery-electric plant (more EVs for us).

Ford Puma

No, not the big cat or sports brand.

The Puma is Ford’s solution for a compact crossover, taking styling cues from their popular SUVs, but based on the Fiesta platform.

The result is a small yet practical car, with striking looks and a great amount of usable space.

Ford Mustang Mach-E

A Mustang by name, but an electric SUV by nature.

Rather than the muscular Ford Mustang, the Mustang Mach-E is an electric SUV built for the future. 

Mustang has earnt its premium badge due to their iconic status as a classic American muscle car.

Which often drives up prices, especially when combined with factors like low supply and high desirability in the market.

But it’s not just the label that makes them premium, this Mustang has an impressive claimed range of 379 mile.

Volkswagen lease

Volkswagen

Volkswagen have been ahead of the game since 1937, creating well-made, technically advanced, good-looking cars that are as fun as they are reliable.

From the beloved Golf or Polo, to family cars such as the Tiguan or Touareg.

They even cover their bases in the EV world with the ID-badged family.

Volkswagen ID.4

Power and sustainability? The VW ID.4 comes packing and claims to have an impressive range of 310 miles.

Stylish, yet practical. 

This family SUV is packed with the latest technology and even has a decent boot, which is definitely needed with all the accessories that come with family life.

Volkswagen ID.7

Yet another car in the ID line up making it to our list? You bet.

The VW ID.7 isn’t a completely new car, unlike the others in the ID family.

Now, you might be getting de ja vu. You might be there thinking that it reminds you of something else.

Well, you’d be correct.

The ID.7, in its saloon/fastback guise, is the spiritual successor to the Passat.

But with its roomy interior, sleek looks, stacks of technology and 77kWh battery (with a claimed range of 384 miles), what’s not to love?

You also have the option of the VW ID.7 Tourer, one of the rare electric estates - and it's a good one.

SEAT lease

SEAT

Olé! 

Spanish manufacturer SEAT is known and loved for their well-built, stylish, and affordable range.

From family favourites such as the Leon and Ibiza, to spacious SUVs like the SEAT Ateca or the Tarraco.

SEAT Arona

Based on the hugely popular Ibiza hatchback, the Arona is a small crossover SUV with good looks (as per usual), a great drive and impressive amount of technology as standard.

In other words, a bigger version of the Ibiza.

Which leads us onto our next car rather nicely.

SEAT Ibiza

The Ibiza was first produced by Spanish manufacturer SEAT back in 1984 - totally tubular dude.

It continues to be one of the most celebrated small cars on our roads.

Small, stylish and nimble, the Ibiza showcases the best of SEAT manufacturing and design.

Small in stature, big in quality.

Volvo

Where safety meets Swedish swagger, Volvo have pivoted to focus on their SUV and electric offerings, over their old, iconic estates. They’re all about electrifying your life with their stylish yet practical designs.

With a strong focus on EVs, their models combine eco-consciousness with everyday practicality.

Volvo EX30

The smallest electric SUV in the Volvo line up, the EX30 comes with the choice of two batteries.

It offers a more compact electric driving experience - and with a claimed range of 298 miles, it's a durable and efficient Swedish SUV.

Volvo EX40

Although identical to the EX30, just one size up, the EX40 has a claimed range of 296–343 miles (depending on what model you get).

It was formerly known as the Volvo XC40 Recharge, and you might find one or two still kicking around as the Volvo SUV family undergoes a shake-up.

With lots of rear legroom, a 452-litre boot (or 1,328 litres with the rear seats folded), and there’s even a front trunk (‘frunk’) to store the charging cables.

Room for the food shopping, an IKEA trip, and more.

Tesla badge

Tesla

Tesla is the rockstar of the EV world—bold, fast, and always stealing the spotlight. With tech that’s lightyears ahead, it’s no wonder they’ve become the cool kids on the electric block.

Whether it’s a saloon or SUV, every Tesla packs performance and futuristic vibes. And with additional Easter eggs like Fart Mode, both you and the kids are sure to be entertained.

Tesla Model Y

The Model Y is an SUV at heart, but with the sleek looks and crisp lines of the smaller Model 3.

To make it even better, it's good news on the mileage front - Tesla claims the Model Y can go up to 315 miles on a single charge.

Not only this, it can also regain 150 miles in just 15 minutes with a Tesla Supercharger.

Tesla Model 3

Riding on the success of the Model S, the Model 3 is a groundbreaker when it comes to introducing the electric car to the masses.

Tesla created a car that featured all of the incredible technology, innovation and jaw dropping acceleration, but without the supercar price tag. 

And still including an impressive range - 318–436 miles.

What’s not to love?

Nissan

With every size you can imagine, there truly is a car for everyone.

Nissan is one of the largest manufacturers on the market, and is renowned for its extensive - and popular – range.

Nissan Qashqai

It’s no surprise that the Qashqai has won so many awards throughout its lifetime. This crossover has firmly rooted itself as one of the best SUVs on the market.

Smaller than Nissans largest SUV, the X-Trail, the Qashqai offers a more practical alternative for those on the search for a small to medium-sized SUV lease.

Nissan Ariya

Did somebody say “sports mode”?

The Nissan Ariya is available with not only dual electric motors, but also sports mode, allowing you to accelerate with power.

With an all-new EV platform, the Nissan Ariya charges faster, has a claimed range of 310 miles and can easily charge at home.

BYD Build Your Dreams

BYD

You might be thinking BYD are new to the game, with many not knowing much about them.

You’d be wrong in thinking this.

Founded in 1995, BYD has become well known around the world.

With a focus on electrification, the Chinese-owned car manufacturer offers comprehensive new energy solutions with zero emissions.

Standing for “Build Your Dreams”, it reflects their commitment to innovation and its vision of creating a sustainable future.

BYD ATTO 3

A neat interior and the use of soft-touch materials make the ATTO 3 a cushy companion and perfect for family life.

You will even find guitar strings across the compartments in the doors, a fun (but noisy) way for your kids to keep themselves entertained.

With a claimed range of up to 261 miles, you’ll have no worries about driving a long journey.

BYD DOLPHIN

The toddler of the BYD family, the DOLPHIN delivers compact electric driving in a stylish package.

As the first of BYD’s sea-inspired ‘Ocean Aesthetic’ designs, it makes waves with its playful two-tone look, sharp lines, and sleek styling.

With a claimed range of 265 miles, this is one toddler that’s definitely not taking a nap anytime soon!

The Verdict: Finding your perfect lease car

Choosing the perfect lease car can feel like finding a needle in a haystack, but it doesn’t have to be stressful.

From premium options like Audi and BMW, to electrifying choices from Tesla, Nissan, and BYD, the possibilities are endless.
