This week’s lease deals focus on low-cost practicality, hybrid efficiency, and a well-equipped compact SUV that balances driver appeal with everyday usability.
First up is the Dacia Sandero, which remains one of the most affordable ways into a brand-new company car.
This 1.0 TCe Essential model is available from £162.58 per month (exc. VAT) on a 48-month business lease, with an initial rental of £1,950.93 and 10,000 miles per year.
For everyday drivers, the Sandero is very much about keeping things simple and cost-effective. It’s a straightforward hatchback with light controls, decent visibility, and enough space for commuting, shopping, or occasional longer trips. The 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine is small, but it’s designed more around efficiency than performance, which helps keep fuel costs manageable.
The Essential trim means this is a fairly no-frills option compared to more premium hatchbacks, but that will suit fleets prioritising low monthly costs and predictable running expenses. For drivers who simply need reliable transport without unnecessary extras, it covers the basics well.
Next is the BYD Sealion 5, one of the newer plug-in hybrid SUVs entering the market.
This 1.5 Comfort CVT Auto model is available from £208.56 per month (exc. VAT) over 36 months, with £2,502.69 upfront.
For company car drivers, this is the kind of deal that combines SUV practicality with lower day-to-day fuel use. The plug-in hybrid setup means shorter trips and urban commuting can often be handled on electric power alone if regularly charged, while the petrol engine removes the range concerns some drivers still associate with fully electric cars.
Inside, the Sealion 5 is positioned as a more tech-focused option, with a modern cabin layout and higher driving position that many drivers now prefer for visibility and comfort. The automatic CVT gearbox also keeps things smooth in traffic and motorway cruising.
As with many newer Chinese brands entering the UK market, familiarity may still be a consideration for some fleets and drivers. But the pricing is aggressive for a hybrid SUV of this size, which is likely to attract attention where value and equipment levels matter.
Finally, there’s the Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo Edition, which continues to offer one of the more balanced small SUV packages available.
This 1.0 TSI Monte Carlo DSG model is available from £201.21 per month (exc. VAT) on a 36-month contract, with an initial rental of £2,414.55.
For day-to-day use, the Kamiq sits in a useful middle ground between hatchback efficiency and SUV practicality. It’s compact enough for town driving and parking, but the raised ride height and slightly larger cabin make it more comfortable for longer journeys and mixed-use driving.
The Monte Carlo trim adds a sportier look and extra equipment compared to standard versions, while the DSG automatic gearbox is well suited to drivers covering regular motorway or urban miles. The 1.0-litre petrol engine is also widely regarded as a sensible balance between fuel economy and usable performance for everyday driving.
