First up is the Jaecoo E5, a newer electric SUV that continues the recent trend of Chinese brands entering the market aggressively on value.
This 155kW 61kWh Auto Pure model is available from £204.75 per month (exc. VAT) on a four-year business lease, with an initial rental of £2,765.33 and 10,000 miles per year.
For drivers, this sits in the sweet spot between affordability and practicality. It’s a fully electric SUV, so there’s the usual Benefit-in-Kind advantages and lower running costs, but it also offers the higher driving position and everyday usability many company car drivers now expect.
The key question for fleets is familiarity. Jaecoo is still a relatively new name in the UK, but lower monthly costs are increasingly making newer EV brands difficult to ignore, particularly for businesses trying to electrify without pushing lease budgets too far.
Next is the Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI SE Technology, available on a two-year business lease at £208.42 per month with a £2,746.87 initial rental.
The Octavia remains one of those cars fleets return to repeatedly because it quietly does almost everything well. There’s a huge boot, plenty of rear passenger space and the kind of motorway comfort that suits high-mileage drivers perfectly.
And while much of the market conversation is understandably focused on EVs, this deal is a reminder that efficient diesel still has a role for some fleets, particularly where drivers regularly cover long distances and public charging remains inconvenient.
The shorter two-year term may also appeal to fleets wanting flexibility while waiting to see how EV infrastructure, taxation and residual values continue to evolve.
Finally, there’s the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.5 eTSI 150 DSG Match, available from £235.62 per month (exc. VAT), with an initial rental of £2,827.44 over two years.
This is very much the “safe pair of hands” option. The Tiguan has become one of the default choices for drivers wanting a family-friendly SUV that feels comfortable, refined and easy to live with.
The mild-hybrid petrol setup helps improve efficiency around town and in stop-start traffic, while the DSG automatic gearbox keeps everyday driving effortless.
For fleets, it’s the sort of vehicle that tends to generate very few complaints from drivers. It’s spacious enough for family life, polished on long journeys, and carries the familiarity and residual value strength that still matters in whole-life cost calculations.
All deals are based on business contract hire agreements with 10,000 miles per year and exclude maintenance, so overall costs will vary depending on vehicle usage and charging or fuel spend.
