Business Lease Shortlist: four EVs for functionality, family and fun

October 21, 2026

This week’s shortlist focuses on four fully electric vehicles aimed at different fleet roles: long-range mainstream use, family SUV duties, premium all-weather driving and executive EV users.

All prices are business lease figures excluding VAT and based on 10,000 miles per year.

Kia EV3 Air 81.4kWh

Deal: £303.64 per month | £3,643.68 initial rental | 48 months | 10,000 miles

The EV3 combines compact-SUV practicality with a large battery and a quoted range of around 375 miles.

That makes it particularly interesting for fleets that want to keep mainstream company-car drivers electric without requiring frequent public charging.

Best for: Higher-mileage mainstream company-car users.

Peugeot E-3008 GT 73kWh

Deal: £386.24 per month | £4,634.88 initial rental | 60 months | 10,000 miles

The E-3008 brings more family and luggage space, making it a stronger fit for drivers who need SUV practicality without returning to petrol or diesel.

Its quoted range is around 325 miles, although the 60-month contract means fleets should consider how that fits their replacement cycle.

Best for: Family-focused company-car drivers needing more space.

BMW iX1 xDrive30 xLine 65kWh

Deal: £369.31 per month | £4,431.72 initial rental | 60 months | 10,000 miles

The iX1 provides a premium option with all-wheel drive, making it relevant to users who value traction, performance and SUV practicality.

Its quoted range is around 288 miles, so fleets should match it carefully to driver mileage and charging access.

Best for: Premium company-car drivers requiring all-weather capability.

Genesis GV60 Pure 84kWh

Deal: £461.99 per month | £5,543.88 initial rental | 60 months | 10,000 miles

The GV60 sits at the executive end of the shortlist, combining an 84kWh battery with a quoted range of around 348 miles.

The higher monthly rental means it needs to earn its place through driver grade and mileage requirement, but it provides another credible alternative to established premium EV brands.

Best for: Executive users wanting premium EV capability and long-distance flexibility.

FleetWise view

The EV3 stands out for range and mainstream value, while the E-3008 is the stronger family/SUV choice.

The iX1 adds premium positioning and all-wheel drive, while the GV60 provides the most executive-focused package.

As always, fleets should compare the full contract cost alongside range, charging access, Benefit-in-Kind, mileage and expected replacement cycle rather than relying on the headline monthly rental.
