Every week we scan the best leasing deals available for electric cars. Unless we say otherwise, all the prices quoted are for three year contracts on a personal lease with 8,000 miles per year with an advance payment (deposit) which is the equivalent of of six months’ payments. The prices are correct at the time of publication (27th March 2025).
This week's best electric car lease deals
Leasing deals are a great leveller. Rather than just look at the list price in the brochure, the finance companies will respond to demand and supply before looking at the predicted resale value and coming up with a monthly figure.
This causes some weird anomalies which prove that there is a big difference between cheapest and best value.
However, the cheapest electric car lease is also actually pretty good value this week. If you want to make the switch to an EV, there is nothing more affordable than the Dacia Spring. The Expression 45 is £137 month, or you might want to stump up the extra tenner for the 65 version. The poshest Extreme is £154.74 though, which is starting to look a little pricey if you just want the very basics.
For comparison, the only car more basic than the Dacia is the Citroen Ami, yet the cheapest deal on one of those is £216 a month – despite having a list price which is half the Dacia’s.
The next up is the chart is the MG4, which is currently one of the biggest bargains on the market, whether you buy or lease. The offer we found is for the Trophy LR at £231.26 per month. That’s great value, but compare it to other forms of finance as some dealers are offering these at £18,495 for cash buyers.
If you prefer a VW to an MG then the ID.3 is next up in the price chart and it’s the ID.3 at £259.20, for a Match Pure 52kWh.
At the other end of the scale in terms of list price is the £101,710 BMW i7 Excellence. At £667.13 per month with a £4,003 deposit it will cost you £27,352 over the course of the three year lease which will seem pretty good if you are a business user, especially as the first year’s depreciation alone would cost more than that if you paid the list price. The oddity is that the delivery time is quoted as 6-12 months. Usually these sort of deals are used to clear unsold stock, so the long lead time is strange.
If you aren’t a chauffeur and prefer a big (and fast) estate, BMW’s i5 Touring M60 is just a couple of quid more at £669.59. You should be able to get it sooner too, as delivery is quoted as three months.
