Autotrader has highlighted a strong mix of business lease deals this week, with options covering everything from family-friendly SUVs to compact EVs and coupe-style crossovers.

First up is the Nissan Qashqai, a familiar face in the company car park and for good reason.
This 1.3 DIG-T MHEV Acenta Premium XTRON model is available from £197.04 per month on a 36-month business contract hire, with an initial rental of £2,364.48 and 10,000 miles per year.
For the average driver, this is the kind of car that just fits into daily life without much thought. It’s high enough to give you a clear view in traffic, compact enough to handle tight office car parks, and spacious enough for the weekly shop, a pushchair or a couple of suitcases. The mild-hybrid setup won’t transform your fuel bills, but it does help smooth things out in stop-start traffic – ideal if your commute involves a mix of town and motorway driving. It’s a safe, sensible all-rounder that does a bit of everything well.

Next is the Volkswagen Taigo, which adds a slightly more style-led twist to the usual small SUV formula.
This 1.5 TSI Black Edition DSG comes in at £196.58 per month over 36 months, with £2,358.96 up front.
Compared to something like the Qashqai, the Taigo feels a bit more personal. It’s still practical enough for everyday use – school bags, gym kits and the odd flat-pack box – but it leans more towards drivers who want something that looks a bit sharper on the driveway. The coupe-style roofline trims a bit of outright boot space, but not enough to make it impractical for most people. With the DSG automatic gearbox, it’s an easy car to live with in traffic, and well suited to shorter commutes, weekend drives or anyone who wants a company car that doesn’t feel overly utilitarian.

Finally, there’s the all-electric Citroën e-C3, which stands out as one of the more affordable ways into EV driving right now.
This Standard Range 44kWh MAX model is available from £162.01 per month on a 36-month deal, with an initial rental of £1,944.12.
For drivers considering the switch to electric, this is about as straightforward as it gets. It’s small, simple and designed for everyday use rather than long-distance motorway runs. Think commuting across town, popping to the shops, or doing the school run without worrying about fuel stops. The compact size makes it easy to park, while the raised ride height gives it a bit more presence than a traditional hatchback. It won’t suit everyone – especially high-mileage drivers – but for urban-based fleets or employees with predictable daily journeys, it’s a low-cost entry point into EVs.
All deals are based on business contract hire agreements with 10,000 miles per year, and can be adjusted depending on contract length or mileage needs.
