Welcome to Parkers Deal Watch. On this page, you’ll find a selection of the best new car deals to sink your teeth into. This page covers both personal car leasing and PCP agreements, so there should be something here for everyone.
Before diving in, it’s important to remember that, while financing offers you the chance to drive a more upmarket or higher-spec car than you might expect, you need to walk into the agreement with your eyes open. Know the terms, and understand what those monthly payments mean for you.
Once you have your budget and are confident you can meet the payments, you’ll be amazed at the choice available.
Shop around, check what’s out there and remember to play with the finance calculator to see if you can afford a better car or drive down your monthly payments.

Best car lease deals
Personal Car Hire (PCH) personal leasing is the simplest way of getting behind the wheel of a brand-new car. You make an initial payment (like a deposit on a rental property), pay your monthly fees, then that’s it. You hand the car back at the end of the contract. If you like to change your car every two to three years, then leasing can be a wise choice.
However, PCH means you’ll never have the opportunity to outright own the car you’ve been driving. You’re merely leasing it, rather than making payments on it. You’ll also never be able to build up an equity, which can help contribute towards the cost of your next car finance deal.
This week’s featured deals
£430 per month for two years
Boot space is limited and awkwardly shaped next to a BMW 5 Series Touring, which does make the A6 a tougher sell in the class where space is king, but it's not exactly pokey. It may be getting on slightly, but it's still a solid choice, especially when an equivalent rival from BMW would cost you £100 more per month.

Audi A6 Avant 40 TFSI Black Edition
Monthly cost: £429.95 (47 payments)

- Boot space is disappointing
- Touchscreens take some getting used to
£234 per month for two years
We suggest that the taller motorist look elsewhere however. Peugeot has embraced a very stylish but compromised approach to the driving position. The steering wheel is too small, mounted too low, and the seats are too high. This makes getting comfortable and seeing the gauges an either/or situation.

Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech GT

We’d advise you to skip the GTX, as the extra motor only offers marginal performance gains and chops a fair bit off that epic battery range. Instead, go for the Pro S model with its larger 86kWh battery. It’s a usable and versatile electric car and one that’s keenly priced too. Â

Parkers Car of The Year 2025
We like the car’s efficiency and the battery range of the 87kWh model, which will easily beat 300 miles in real-world driving. That's very welcome for a family car at this price point. We also appreciate the effort Renault has gone to in delivering a car that is largely recyclable – including the battery itself.

Cons
- Fidgety ride at times
- Poor rear visibility
£204 per month over two years
It’s practical too, with some very clever interior touches, as you’d expect for a product that’s established itself as a UK bestseller in its third generation. A fresh front end and some new kit only cements its reputation for excellence in the crossover class.

Parkers Best Value Car 2025
Vauxhall is traditionally known for excellent leasing deals, and the Corsa is no exception. You'll have the pick of the range for less than £200 a month. The cheapest, sub £150 per month examples will be petrols, but we found an top-spec electric example for £187 per month. Bargain.

Vauxhall Corsa 100kW Ultimate
Monthly cost: £187.31 (47 payments)
Initial payment: £1,685.79 (12 months' payments plus £270 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Entertaining to drive
- Improved infotainment
- Choice of electric and petrol
Cons
- Small boot size
- Cramped rear seats
£214 per month over three years
The Corolla is also an effortless car to drive, just one of many reasons as to why they're so popular as taxis. The CVT isn't thrashy and in brake regeneration mode, one pedal driving is possible. Add in Toyota's bulletproof reliability record and the Corolla would make for a eminently practical, if slightly dull car.

Toyota Prius 1.8 Icon CVT
Monthly cost: £214.30 (23 payments)
Initial payment: £1,928.70 (12 months' payments plus £178.00 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Excellent reliability record
- Incredibly efficient
- Massive boot
Cons
- Infotainment system is fiddly
- Rear seats are drab
£306 per month over two years
The interior quality takes an notable knock when you get to the back seats, and the boot is a bit pokey for this segment. There are some questionable ergonomics too; the shared window switches in particular, stink of blatant cost-cutting. Still, it's a strong performer in the uber-popular EV SUV category, and the leasing price stands in its favour too.

Ford Explorer Select 77kWh
Monthly cost: £305.82 (47 payments)
Initial payment: £3,669.84 (12 months' payments plus zero fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Spacious interior
- Brisk acceleration
- Sharp handling
Cons
- Middling boot space
- Cheap feeling materials inside
£235 per month for three years
The interior is also a big step up from the old Niro. For your money, you get a sharp infotainment system and a roomy, polished layout. The onboard storage bins are awkward, but it's still a very practical family runabout.

Kia Niro EV 65kWh
Monthly cost: £235.19 (35 payments)
Initial payment: £2,822.28 (12 months' payments plus £240 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Good value for money
- Generous standard equipment
- 285-mile electric driving range
Cons
- Choppy, uncomfortable ride
- Not that engaging to drive
Abarth 500e
£246 per month for three years
Just don't plan on going too far in it. The real world range is about 140 miles, and it plummets if you try and drive quickly. It also inherits the 500's tiny boot and ergonomically-flawed driving position. As a fun secondary car however, it's a tempting prospect, especially at this price.

Abarth 500e Turismo
Monthly cost: £245.99 (35 payments)
Initial payment: £2,951.88 (12 months' payments plus £270 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Exciting looks
- Compact and agile
- Premium interior
Cons
- Not as fun as petrol models
- Sound generator is flawed
£540 per month over four years
It's not perfect by any stretch. It feels huge and can be ungainly in tight situations. Rear-wheel steering helps, but it's an optional extra on the eDrive40 model. The range could also be better for a battery this size, but a real world range of nearly 300 miles is nothing to be sniffed at.

Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Refined experience
- Inviting interior
- Good to drive
Cons
- Not the biggest boot in its class
- More range welcomeÂ
£216 per month for two years
At this price point you'll want to look for the 1.5-litre petrol engine, and it's more than up to hauling a family and their luggage. We're opting for the phenomenal Octavia Estate for it's cavernous boot size. An equivalent hatchback will save you £20 a month on average.

Skoda Octavia Estate 1.5 TSI SE
Monthly cost: £216.01 (23 payments, incl. VAT)
Initial payment: £2,592.12 (12 months' payment plus £299.00 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Hugely practical
- Lots of engine and trim options
- Cheap to run
Cons
- Lack of badge kudos
- Motorway refinement isn't the best
MINI Cooper
£189 per month over two years
We're not going to sugarcoat it, though. This isn't a big car, so if you need enough space to carry three passengers and their luggage, you'd be better off shopping for something else. But as a tool for making you feel good, few modern cars come as close.

Monthly cost: £188.60 (23 payments)
Initial payment: £2,263.20 (12 months' payments plus £294 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Great fun to drive
- Excellent infotainment
- Brilliant build quality
Cons
- No manual option
- Cramped rear seats
£417 per month over two years
It offers a huge boot, comfortable seating for five, and an exceedingly refined drive. If you need extra space, you can even pick up a bigger seven-seat example. As the halo product of Volkswagen’s ambitious EV lineup, it also features an eye-watering price tag, making these leasing deals more tempting.

Volkswagen ID. Buzz 150kw Style Pro
Monthly cost: £417.44 (47 payments)
Initial payment: £3,756.96 (12 months' payments plus zero fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Doesn’t feel like a van to drive
- Desirable looks, attractive cabin
- Reasonable electric range
Cons
- Poor touch-led interior controls
- Sporty GTX feels rather pointless
£306 per month over three years
The interior offers acres of space and legroom, even if the rear passenger headroom isn't the best. It's one of the more interesting takes on electrification, and at less than £300 per month for one, you're getting exceptional value for money, too.

Monthly cost: £306.00 (47 payments)
Initial payment: £3,672.00 (12 months' payments plus zero fees)

Pros
- Efficient and delivers great fuel economy
- Quality feel up front
- Punchy performance
Cons
- Poor rear headroom
- Divisive styling
£223 per month over two years
We recommend picking the 1.5-litre petrol engine, and this deal does just that, coming in desirable R Line trim. At a little more than £220 per month, it's a lot of car for your money.

Monthly cost: £223.34 (23 payments, incl. VAT)

Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Stand-out styling
- Low running costs
- Decent driving experience
Cons
- Disappointing interior
- R-Line's firm ride

Best PCP deals
Like the idea of running a brand new car for an affordable monthly payment with the option to hand the car back at the end of the contract or buy it outright? You might be interested in Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) finance.
PCP is the most popular type of car finance, which means the best car finance deals in the UK are often PCP based. Beware:Â the difference between the best and worst PCP deals is enormous. Do your homework, though, and you can bag a great car for far less per month than you might expect.
£349 per month over three years with 0% APR and a £2,000 deposit contribution
For around £350 per month you can get your hands on an iV 50 with an official 242-mile range, which will cover the needs of most families just fine. This smaller-battery car is much cheaper than the long-range version, hence the competitive deal. Just make sure you work out whether you might really miss the extra range of the more expensive car, though.

Coming in at less than £160 a month, and with space inside for four, it'll dutifully serve as an economical small family car. Like the Enyaq above, this deal is for the smallest battery size, but that can be increased to the Long Range for just an extra £20 a month.

You’re looking at an economical E-Tech Evolution model for this price. It’s packed with kit, such as alloy wheels, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and cruise control, and it simply oozes kerb appeal. And, yes, to get that 0% APR with a low monthly payment you do need to put down a chunky deposit – but it's not out of order.

Alpine nailed the mid-engined sports car formula with the A110. At just over a tonne, the peppy turbocharged 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine has enough grunt to make for an enjoyable B road blast, especially when partnered with supple suspension and lovely handling.

What type of finance to choose?
PCH personal leasing
Car leasing, also known as Personal Contract Hire (or PCH) is best the option if you want to change cars often. You will not own the car, but that gives you great flexibility.
PCP finance
Personal contract purchase, as typified by Ford Options, is the best option if you plan on keeping the car for longer. You make lower monthly payments than you would on a PCH deal, but you’ll need to make a balloon payment at the end of the deal if you choose to buy the car outright.
If you’re new to finance check out our full guides on PCH leasing and PCP finance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I am getting a good deal on a new car?
When it comes to finding the best deals available, there’s lots of help out there. Our aforementioned finance deals page, for example, lists the top offers we’ve seen. This allows you to quickly get an idea of what’s available for your budget.
For many buyers, securing a deal with a low, or even zero, deposit is a crucial part of what makes the best finance deals the best. With higher monthly payments it’s possible to spread the cost of an initial payment over the course of the contract. Check out APR rates on all deals – obviously the lower, the better. This softens the blow and gets you the keys to a new car for a very low up-front cost.Â
But nothing beats shopping around. These days you don’t need to wear out shoe leather anymore, as Parkers has done all of the hard work for you by aggregating lease deals and highlighting them in one place. Check out our car leasing landing page, and get comparing!
How do I get a good finance deal on a new car?
With dealer contributions, varying APR, and some manufacturers throwing in free fuel among other benefits, judging what’s the best value car finance deal for you can be a minefield. A good figure to look for is the ‘total amount payable’ sum included alongside the offer.
This will show you exactly what you’ll end up spending on the car, in the long run. It will include factors such as interest charges, ‘finance facility’ and ‘option to purchase’ fees.
Again, shopping around is the best thing you can do here, if you’re used to using your local dealerships, don’t be afraid to be travel further afield and compare rival dealerships’ deals.
What cars are offering 0% finance deals?
Look at the best new car deals and you’ll see that many feature 0% APR finance. These 0% car finance deals are a tempting proposition because, provided you can put down the deposit required, they offer an easy way to spread the cost of a new car.
Here you will find a list of the 0% APR deals on offer – from Alfa Romeo to Volvo.
