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
£212 per month over two years
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.

Renault Scenic E-Tech Techno 87kWh Long Range
Monthly cost: £212.16 (23 payments)
Initial payment: £2,545.92 (12 months' payments plus £270 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Easy and enjoyable to drive
- Superb official electric range
- Spacious, well-planned interior
Cons
- Fidgety ride at times
- Poor rear visibility
BMW iX
£759 per month over four years
The chunky monthly fee may not seem as attractive as others on this list, but factor in the tiny initial rental figure, and the iX stands out as a total bargain. After all, the xDrive50 M Sport model listed costs over £100,000 brand new.

BMW iX xDrive50 M SportÂ
Monthly cost: £759.01 (47 payments)
Initial payment: £759.01 (one months' payments plus £270 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 6,000 miles per year
£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 'i-cockpit' 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
Monthly cost: £233.82 (47 payments)
Initial payment: £1,402.92 (six months' payments plus £299.99 fees)
Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
£405 per month over three years
We’d advise keeping it cheap and opt for the single motor. Spec your car to include the light Nappa leather interior and you’re sorted. Ultimately, we’d say a Porsche Macan Electric is a better choice for keen drivers, but the Polestar isn't far behind.

Polestar 4 100kWh Long Range Single Motor Plus
Monthly cost: £404.84 (24 payments, incl. VAT)

Mileage allowance:Â 5,000 miles per year
Pros
- Spacious, high-quality interior
- Good driving range
- Satisfying to drive
Cons
- Rivals have bigger boots
- Not enough physical controls inside
£307 per month over two years
It isn’t as desperately impractical as its rakish looks would suggest, either – there’s loads of room in the back for passengers and enough space in the boot to handle most daily duties. However, if you need outright practicality, you’d probably be better served by the Skoda Karoq.

Cupra Formentor 1.4 eHybrid 204
Monthly cost: £306.66 (23 payments, incl. VAT)

Pros
- Great to drive for an SUV

Cons
- Firm ride in Cupra mode
- Fiddly infotainment system
£217 per month over four years
Hyundai has come leaps and bounds from the cheap-feeling and dull cars of 20 years ago, and the Tucson is proof of this. It scored well and nabbed a podium finish in our family SUV group test last year, and will seamlessly slot into any family’s life. It’s dull to drive, but who really cares when the value is so good and the car so solid.Â

Cons
- No diesel for long-distance drivers
- Not particularly fun to drive
£293 per month over four years
But it gets even better, as we're offering the sporty vRS model for less than £300 per month. The vRS takes the Octavia's practicality and makes it far spicier with more power and subtle tweaks to the steering and suspension. The latest update has streamlined the range down to a petrol offering only, and updated the infotainment.

Skoda Octavia 2.0 TSI vRS
Monthly cost: £292.72 (47 payments)
Initial payment: £3,512.64 (12 payments plus zero 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
£230 per month over four years
It’s practical too, with some very clever interior touches, as you’d expect for a product that’s pioneered the family SUV sector and is now in its third generation. An updated front end and some new kit only cements its reputation for excellence in the crossover class.

- Good to drive
Cons
- Mild-hybrid isn't the strongest
- Limited model range
£230 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.

Volkswagen T-Roc 1.5 TSI R-Line
Monthly cost: £230.21 (23 payments, incl. VAT)
Initial payment: £2,762.52 (12 payments plus £269.99 fees)
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
£291 per month over two years
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

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.
£97 per month for two years with 4.9% APR
All configurations will give you change from £170 per month on a PCP deal, locked to 4.9% APR. Whether you want rock-bottom prices, capable 4x4 versions or plusher examples with more kit, the deals available for a Duster are worth celebrating. We're plugging for the Extreme Hybrid 140 and its frugal powertrain and plusher in sides.

£216 per month for two years with 0% APR
Renault won our New Car Finance Award for 2025 and its not hard to see why with these tempting prices. The base model with a smaller battery pack can be picked up for £182 per month, and the fanciest bells-and-whistles model will only set you back £249 per month. Each trim level can be had for that all-important 0% APR too, which means Renault may well be picking up our award once more.

Renault 5 E-Tech Techno 52kWh Comfort
Monthly cost: £216 (25 payments)
Deposit: £8,099

- Impressively low running costs
- Economical
Cons
- Tight rear passenger space
- Firmer ride at low speed than rivals
£371 per month over three years with 0% APR and a £2,650 deposit contribution
For around £371 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 £170 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 £30 a month.

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.
