This week's standout business lease offers, all available at Autotrader.co.uk, cater for very different driving needs, from drivers looking to maximise electric commuting to those simply wanting an affordable, dependable car for everyday business travel.

Jaecoo 7 PHEV from £267.87 per month
If you're not quite ready to make the jump to a fully electric vehicle, the Jaecoo 7 plug-in hybrid continues to make a compelling business case. This Luxury specification pairs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an 18.3kWh battery, delivering up to 56 miles of electric-only driving. For many commuters, that's enough to complete most weekday journeys without using any petrol, provided regular charging is available.
The spacious SUV cabin, elevated driving position and generous standard equipment also make it well suited to longer motorway journeys when required.
Business lease: £267.87 per month (excluding VAT), £3,214.39 initial rental, 36 months, 10,000 miles per year.

Volkswagen Taigo Black Edition from £182.73 per month
Drivers looking for a more traditional petrol option should take a look at the Volkswagen Taigo Black Edition. Its 1.5-litre TSI engine and smooth DSG automatic gearbox make it an easy, refined companion for daily commuting, while the coupe-inspired styling gives it a more distinctive appearance than many compact crossovers.
With Volkswagen's familiar driving position, strong build quality and comfortable ride, the Taigo remains an appealing choice for businesses wanting a straightforward, efficient company car without the need to plan around charging.
Business lease: £182.73 per month (excluding VAT), £2,192.76 initial rental, 36 months, 10,000 miles per year.

Hyundai i10 Advance Auto from £160.07 per month
For businesses prioritising low running costs and urban practicality, the Hyundai i10 remains one of the strongest value propositions on the market. Its compact dimensions make tight city streets and multi-storey car parks far less stressful, while the automatic gearbox takes the effort out of stop-start traffic.
Despite its size, the i10 offers impressive refinement and enough space for everyday commuting, making it a sensible option for grey fleet drivers, pool cars or employees covering predominantly urban mileage.
Business lease: £160.07 per month (excluding VAT), £1,920.80 initial rental, 48 months, 10,000 miles per year.
