Media post: 5 Factors That Make Car Leasing More Affordable Than You Think

By:Marketing

12 February 2026 at 17:01

For many UK drivers, the dream of parking a brand-new car on the driveway often feels out of reach. The traditional route of saved deposits and high-interest bank loans can make the latest models seem like a luxury reserved only for the wealthy. However, the automotive market has shifted significantly over the last decade, and more people are moving away from the idea of depreciating ownership.

Car leasing has emerged as a savvy alternative that prioritises monthly budget management over long-term debt. By focusing on the use of the vehicle instead of the logbook, motorists can access technology and safety features they might otherwise struggle to afford. If you’ve been wondering how to upgrade your driving experience without breaking the bank, read our insightful article to discover why leasing is a financially clever move.

1. Fixed Monthly Costs and Predictable Budgeting

One of the greatest benefits of leasing is the ability to know exactly what is leaving your bank account every month. Unlike buying an older used car, where a sudden breakdown could result in a massive repair bill, you can lease a new vehicle, covered by a manufacturer warranty. This protection ensures that you won’t be hit by unexpected mechanical costs that could ruin your monthly budget.

When you browse the latest car leasing deals, you’ll notice that the payments are often significantly lower than those associated with a Hire Purchase agreement. This is because you aren’t paying for the full value of the car. Instead, you’re essentially covering the depreciation for the period you’re driving it. It’s a much more efficient way to manage your personal finances while still enjoying a premium driving experience.

2. Low Initial Outlay Options

Many people believe that they need thousands of pounds saved up before they can get a new car. With personal leasing, this isn’t the case. While a larger initial rental will lower your monthly payments, many providers offer flexible terms that allow for a smaller upfront cost. This makes it much easier for young professionals or families to get behind the wheel of a reliable vehicle without draining their savings.

Leasing agreements are highly customisable to suit your specific circumstances. You can choose:

The length of the contract (typically 24, 36, or 48 months).
The annual mileage limit that fits your lifestyle.
The amount of the initial rental payment.

3. Road Tax and Maintenance Packages

In the UK, the cost of keeping a car on the road can add up quickly. One of the hidden ways that leasing saves you money is through the inclusion of Road Fund Licence, commonly known as road tax. Most lease contracts include this for the entire duration of the agreement. This means you don’t have to worry about a large annual bill or the administrative hassle of renewing it yourself.

Furthermore, many drivers choose to add a maintenance package to their lease. This optional extra covers the cost of regular servicing and even replacement tyres in many cases. By rolling these costs into your monthly payment, you protect yourself against inflation and the rising costs of garage labour. It’s a “set and forget” approach to motoring that provides total peace of mind.

4. Avoiding the Trap of Depreciation

The moment a brand-new car leaves the showroom, it begins to lose value. This depreciation is often the single biggest cost of vehicle ownership, yet it’s still the one most drivers ignore until they try to sell the car. When you own a car, you’re the one who takes the financial hit when the market value drops.

Leasing completely removes this risk from the driver. Since you’ll return the car at the end of the contract, the future resale value isn’t your concern. You don’t have to spend weeks trying to find a private buyer or haggling with a dealership for a fair part-exchange price. You simply hand back the keys and move on to your next new vehicle.

5. Better Fuel Efficiency and Modern Tech

Driving a brand-new car means you’re benefiting from the very latest in engine technology and aerodynamics. Newer models are almost always more fuel-efficient than their predecessors, which will save you a significant amount of money at the petrol pump. Whether you’re looking at a traditional combustion engine, a hybrid, or a full electric vehicle, the savings on running costs can be substantial.

Beyond fuel, modern cars come equipped with advanced safety features and driver aids that can actually lower your insurance premiums in some instances. You’ll also enjoy the latest infotainment systems and connectivity, which makes your daily journeys more enjoyable. When you calculate the total cost of ownership, the efficiency of a new lease car often outweighs the perceived savings of running an older, thirstier vehicle.

Final Considerations

Car leasing has emerged as a practical financial strategy for the modern UK driver. By eliminating the risks of depreciation and providing fixed, manageable costs, it opens up a world of automotive choices that were previously out of reach for many.

If you value reliability, safety, and transparent budgeting, then personal leasing is certainly worth your consideration. It allows you to drive the car you want today without the long-term headaches of ownership. Take the time to look at your current transport spending, and you might find that a lease is the most cost-effective path forward.

The South Korean new light vehicle market is up 13.5% year-on-year in January to 120,446 units. This includes 99,495 domestic manufacturers (+9.5%) and 20,951 foreigners (+37.6%).

Audi (+164.7%), Toyota (+44.7%) and Lexus (+30%) also impress while newcomer BYD is in the Top 10 for the third month in a row at #10.

Looking at domestic models, the Kia Sorento (+12.5%) is back to #1 for the 4th time in the past 5 months, confirming the annual top spot it has held for the past two years. The Kia Sportage (-8.1%) is up to #2 for the 2nd time in the past 3 months, as a reminder it last ranked #1 in November 2021. The Carnival (-13%) completes a podium 100% Kia but disappoints year-on-year. Four Hyundais follow, with the Palisade (+98.1%) and Sonata (+42.1%) lodging the best performances but the Avante (-4%) and Grandeur (-12.2%) in negative. Notice also the Kia Niro (+248.7%), Kona (+47.7%) and Morning (+40.6%).

As for foreign models, the Mercedes E-Class (+54.4%) remains on top above the BMW 5 Series (+8.1%) while the Tesla Model Y takes the third spot. The Mercedes GLC (+26.2%) repeats at #4 ahead of the Lexus NX (+194.9%) up from outside the December Top 50 directly back to #5 while the BMW X3 (+29.5%) is up five ranks on last month to #6. Below, the new BYD Sealion 7 is up two spots to #7 while the BYD Atto 3 cracks the Top 10 for the first time at #8.

Indonesia January 2026: Daihatsu Gran Max Pikap signs first ever win

13 February 2026 at 05:49

The Daihatsu Gran Max Pikap is the best-selling vehicle in Indonesia for the first time.

Wholesales in Indonesia step up 7.4% year-on-year in January to 66,447 while retail sales gain 4.8% to 66,936. In the wholesales brands ranking, Toyota (-9.1%) goes against the positive grain but still manages 30.2% share which is well above the 28.1% it held last month. Daihatsu (+25.3%) excels at #2 with 18.8% share vs. 12.6% in December, while Mitsubishi (+37.2%) does even better at #3. BYD (+338%) however is the best performer of all and gains two spots on last month to #4 with 7.3% share. Hino (+21.1%) and Mitsubishi Fuso (+10.8%) also impress in the remainder of the Top 10. A Top 10 that newcomer Jaecoo breaks into for the first time at #9 with 3% share.

Retail-wise, Toyota (+2.4%) this time is in positive to 33% share head of Daihatsu (-0.9%) in negative. Mitsubishi (+31.6%) and Suzuki (+21.6%) impress but Honda (-51.7%) freefalls. BYD (+150.3%), Mitsubishi Fuso (+39.9%) and Isuzu (+27.2%) stand out while Jaecoo also breaks into the Top 10 for the first time at #9.

Over in the models charts (wholesales), the Daihatsu Gran Max Pikap (+65.2%) brilliantly takes the lead with 7.4% share, toppling the 2025 #1 the Toyota Kijang Innova (-19.6%) in great difficulty. Surprisingly, this is the Gran Max’s first ever win in Indonesia, even though it ranked #2 over the Full Year 2025. The Honda Brio (-21.5%) is back up 11 spots on December to #3 but also freefalls year-on-year. At #4, the BYD Atto 1 (aka Seagull, Dolphin Mini or Surf) confirms it is the new star in town, although its 5.1% share is a far cry from the 12.75% it held at launch last October. The Mitsubishi Xpander is up 10 ranks on last month to #7, while the new Jaecoo J5 breaks into the Top 10 for the first time at #9. The new Mitsubishi Detonator also shines at #11.

Chile January 2026: Mitsubishi L200 tops negative market

13 February 2026 at 03:59

The Mitsubishi L200 is the most popular vehicle in Chile in January.

The Chilean new light vehicle market is down -2.1% year-on-year in January to 25,301 units. This is the weakest January result since 2021. Suzuki (+12.9%) is back up five spots on December to sign its first monthly win since lastMay at 8.6% share vs. 6.9% over the Full Year 2025. Toyota (+4.9%) drops to #2 but still manages a positive YoY result. In contrast Kia (-13.8%) and Hyundai (-5%) underperform. GWM (+28.7%) and Changan (+13%) are the only additional gainers in the Top 10. Below, notice Geely (+399%), JAC (+99.4%), Jetour (+47.7%) and Chery (+45.8%) all posting fantastic lifts. All in all, Chinese carmakers are up 19.7% to 34.35 share vs. 32.1% over the Full Year 2025.

Over in the models charts, the Mitsubishi L200 (-19%) dominates like a year ago and despite a harsh year-on-year fall. The GWM Poer (+39.5%) follows ahead of the Toyota Hilux (+8.6%) and Ford Ranger (-5.2%) in a Top 4 entirely composed of pickup trucks. The Peugeot Partner (-0.2%) is the best of the rest at #5, distancing a surging Suzuki Fronx (+63.2%). The MG ZX (+59.7%), Chery Tiggo 2 (+54.4%), Kia Sonet (+40.7%) and Mazda CX-5 (+35.5%) also make themselves noticed.

Pakistan January 2026: Sales up 35.5%

13 February 2026 at 03:18

The Suzuki Alto holds 30.7% of the Pakistani market in January.

According to local association PAMA, sales of locally-made light vehicles in Pakistan are up 35.5% year-on-year in January to 23,055 units. Note not all manufacturers present in Pakistan are members of PAMA such as Kia, Changan and MG notably and therefore don’t appear in these statistics. Market leader Suzuki (+32.3%) trails the market slightly to 47.3% share, distancing Toyota (+51.7%) and Honda (+63.8%), both extending their footprint year-on-year. Sazgar Haval (+0.4%) is stable at a high level over 2,000 sales. Hyundai (-2.6%) underperforms. Model-wise, the Suzuki Alto (+40.3%) stays on top with 30.7% share vs. 29% over the Full Year 2025. The Sazgar Haval H6 (+0.4%) is up one spot to #2, in fact the entire Top 7 is up one spot on December, due to the fall of the Suzuki Every (+170.8%) down from #2 last month to #8 but soaring year-on-year.

Japan January 2026: Suzuki Jimny, Nissan Leaf among best performers in negative market

12 February 2026 at 12:13

Nissan Leaf sales are up 206.5% thanks to the new generation.

New vehicle sales in Japan drop -2.3% year-on-year in January to 367,748 units. Toyota (-3.5%) drops slightly faster than the market but still manages a strong 31.5% share vs. 29.7% in December. Suzuki (-0.7%) and Honda (-1.8%) are stable above a very dynamic Daihatsu (+10.6%). The Top 11 brands are in the exact same order as the Full Year 2025 ranking. Among them, Lexus (+12%) and Isuzu (+1.1%) are the only ones in positive. Mercedes (-12.6%) – still by far the most popular foreign brand, Nissan (-11.1%) and Mazda (-10.6%) suffer, while Mitsubishi (-3.4%) and Subaru (-5.3%) resist better. Just below, Volkswagen (-41.4%) implodes. BYD (+239.6%) and Porsche (+23.7%) shine but only account for 0.05% and 0.3% share respectively.

Looking at the regular cars charts, the Toyota Yaris/Cross (-31.2%) sinks to just under 11,200 sales, meaning the Toyota Sienta (+5.7%) is the true best-seller once again when Yaris and Yaris Cross sales are separated. The Toyota Raize (+36%) excels at #3, distancing the Toyota Corolla/Cross (-34.4%) and Alphard (-20.3%) both in trouble. Toyota monopolises the Top 7 with the Roomy (+22.9%) and Voxy (+14.5%) in tow and both in excellent shape. The Honda Freed (-7.4%) is the best of the rest at #8. Outstanding performance of the Suzuki Jimny Wagon (+189.9%) inside the Top 10 for the very first time. The Toyota bZ4X is up 6504% to #28 and the Nissan Leaf up 206.5% to #37.

As for kei cars, the Honda N-BOX (+0.9%) is stable and dominates again ahead of the Suzuki Spacia (-5.6%). The Daihatsu Move (+27.7%) overtakes the Daihatsu Tanto (-14.3%) for third place with the Nissan Roox (+41.1%) rounding out the Top 5 like last month and boosted by a new generation. Excellent performance also by the Mitsubishi Delica Mini/eK (+31.5%).

Canada January 2026: Acura up 39%, Honda down -17%

12 February 2026 at 07:17

The new Acura ADX helps the brand’s sales up 39% in January.

According to local consultancy DesRosiers Automotive, the Canadian new light vehicle market is down -2.9% year-on-year to 114,000 units for a robust SAAR of 2.08 million, higher than any month during Q3 and Q4 last year. This is a good performance given the extreme weather over the period and a high comparison base as January 2025 was the strongest January ever, matching the 2018 figure. As usual we only have date for the manufacturers still reporting monthly as a lot of them have decide to only report quarterly.

Hyundai-Kia drops -4.5% whereas Toyota Motor is stable at +0.1% (but was down -12.5% over the year prior in January 2025) and Honda Canada sinks -13.5%. Brand-wise, Toyota edges up 0.3%, Hyundai is up 0.2% but Honda (-17%), Kia (-12.8%) and Subaru (-4.3%) underperform. Lexus (-0.7%) is stable while Acura (+39%), Volvo (+8.7%), Genesis (+8%) and Mazda (+4.9%) excel. As for models with monthly data available, the Hyundai Tucson (+44.8%), Subaru Crosstrek (+31.7%), Mazda CX-5 (+29.8%) shine but the Toyota RAV4 (-44%) is in freefall, awaiting the new generation.

Germany January 2026: Skoda up to record #2, places Elroq inside Top 10 for the first time

12 February 2026 at 05:41

The Skoda Elroq is up to #8 in Germany in January.

New car sales in Germany recede by a steep -6.6% year-on-year in January to 193,981. BEV sales are up a splendid 23.7% year-on-year to 42,692 and 22% share vs. 16.6% a year ago in January 2025.

Market leader Volkswagen (-17.5%) is hit hard but at 19.7% it is above its Full Year 2025 level of 19.6%. The year-ago comparison base was particularly high as it reached its best share in a decade at 22.3%. Skoda (+12.2%) defies the negative market with an impressive double-digit gain leading it to a record 2nd place, also reached in June 2024. Mercedes (-6.5%) is up one spot on last month to #3, distancing BMW (+5.4%) and Audi (-4%). Opel (+27.4%) posts a formidable gain but remains in 6th place above Ford (-11.1%), Hyundai (+0.5%) and Seat (-27.9%). Fiat (+87.2%) surges to #10 vs. #18 last month and #15 over the Full Year 2025. BYD (+1018.7%) outsells Tesla (+1.9%) again at #22 vs. #26.

Model-wise, the VW Golf (-15.1%) sports an easy victory at 3.4% share and despite falling sharply year-on-year. This is because the VW Tiguan (-36.5%), cannibalised by the new Tayron, and T-Roc (-40.3%), impacted by its generation changeover, are both in complete freefall. The Skoda Octavia (-2.1%) takes advantage and climbs to a record third place, also reached in July 2020, January 2024 and July 2024. The Opel Corsa (+50.4%) and Audi A6 (+96.6%) are both in excellent shape and follow, ahead of the Mercedes GLC (-0.1%). Below, the Skoda Elroq (+1014.6%) celebrates one year in market with a first ever Top 10 finish at #8. The VW Tayron (+6984.6%) reaches a new ranking record at #13.

Norway January 2026: VW ID.3 in the lead, Deepal S05 at #5 in devastated market (-76.3%)

12 February 2026 at 04:29

The Deepal S05 is up to a world best 5th place in January.

It’s a catastrophic month for new car sales in Norway, down -76.3% year-on-year in January to just 2,218 units. The reason behind this fall is simple: up until 31/12/2025 the VAT on BEVs up to 500,000 NOK (44,000€) was 0%, but from 1/1/2026 the limit was lowered to 300,000 NOK (26,600€) and all cars above that price will now have a 25% VAT. Therefore carmakers rushed to register as many cars as possible in December (35,188 sales) to avoid the higher VAT level, finding themselves with lots of 0 km “used” cars already registered on their lot. Thanks to our local contact Jan for the explanation. Note the BEV share is 94% this month vs. 95.8% in January 2025 which was a record at the time.

In this unusual context, Volkswagen (-76.8%) takes the lead of the brands charts with 19.9% share ahead of Toyota (-78.2%) and Skoda (-56.8%) resisting better. Mercedes (-80.3%) and Hyundai (-66.1%) round out the Top 5, followed by Tesla (-88%) and Volvo (-84.4%) hit even harder than the market. The surprise of the month is the arrival of Chinese newcomer Deepal at #8. JAC (+525%), Citroen (+231.6%), Renault (+75%) and Zeekr (+34.8%) ignore the gloomy context with fantastic year-on-year lifts.

Over in the models charts, the VW ID.3 (-44.3%) takes a clear lead with 13.5% share, this is the nameplate’s first win in Norway since November 2020. #1 a year ago, the Toyota bZ4X plunges -84.5% to #2 but at 8.3% it doubles its FY2025 share. The new Toyota Urban Cruiser, a rebadged Suzuki e Vitara, is up 111 spots on December to a world-best #3, it is followed by two other recent launches: the Skoda Elroq at #4 and the Deepal S05 at #5, the performance of the month. The new Nissan Micra, now a BEV based on the Renault 5, breaks into the Top 10 at #9 with 2.6% share, the vehicle’s best performance in the world so far (it is only available in Europe). Other great performers include the JAC E30X at #12 and the Renault 5 at #15.

Citroen (+1416.7%) posts a surreal gain to #8 and 4.3% share vs. #20 and 1.2% over FY2025. Renault (+92.3%), BMW (+84.8%) and Peugeot (+24.9%) also impress in the remainder of the Top 10. Tesla (+2.5%) is stable at #10. Below, notice MG (+332.4%) and Mazda (+195.8%) while newcomer Zeekr is up to #21 with 1.2% share.

Model-wise, like a year ago the Toyota bZ4X (+95.6%) is the best-selling car in the country with a fantastic 10.5% share vs. just 1.4% over the Full Year 2025. In fact with 1,348 sales it already reaches 51% of its total 2025 volume. Leader over the Full Year 2025, the Skoda Elroq (+1961.5%) is #2 with a strong 6.3% share. The Tesla Model Y (+63.3%) rounds out the podium ahead of the Audi Q4 e-Tron (+131.3). The event of the month is the 5th place of the Toyota Urban Cruiser BEV with 3.4% share, this is a rebadged Suzuki e Vitara. The Cupra Born (+46.4%), Renault 5 (+944%) and BMW ix1 (+48.2%) also soar below. Note the entire Top 12 is composed of BEVs. Finally, the new Renault 4 is up to #17 and 1.5% share which is higher than at home in France.

No other Top 10 carmaker beats the market, with Cupra (-12.3%) and Dacia (-9.6%) hit the hardest. Further down, BYD (+34.6%) ranks #11, Tesla (+147.1%) is #13 and Citroen (+67.1%) is #15.

Over in the models charts, the VW Golf (+163.4%0 soars 11 spots on December to sign its first win since March 2025 and its highest share since May 2024 at 6.6%. The VW Polo (+188.9%) is equally dynamic at 3.2% share with the Tesla Model Y (+269.4%) also sporting a stunning YoY lift at #3. The Skoda Fabia (+18.6%) is back inside the Top 20 at #5, with the Audi Q3 (+269.1%) and Seat Leon (+96.7%) also making themselves noticed in the remainder of the Top 10. The Dacia Bigster remains the best-selling recent launch at #11.
