What are the best cars to lease or finance about £150 per month? If you’re looking for the best finance deals, you’ve come to the right place. Despite relentlessly rising living cost, it’s still entirely possible to bag yourself a great car for a relatively small monthly outlay.
There are issues, though. The narrowing choice of smaller, cheaper cars, and a general shifting of the market, mean the number of cars for £150 per month isn’t what it once was. There are some good finance and leasing deals at this price point, but you do need to do your shopping to find something suitable on a special offer.
All the cars in this list are priced between £150 and £175 per month, with a realistic blend towards the top end. Upping your budget to £200 per month will unlock a broader choice of cars, while stretching to £300 per month will open up many more leasing deals and the ability to put down lower deposits.
This list mainly highlights personal contract hire (PCH) – or lease – deals, where the monthly prices are lower. Prices fluctuate daily so do keep checking in for the latest prices. We’ve even found a handful of very attractive personal contract purchase (PCP) deals for less than £175 per month. Some even manage to offer 0% APR.
The best new cars to lease around £150 a month 2025
Former award winner is still fresh, interesting and fun
The Renault Clio has been a multiple Parkers award-winner over the years and a perennial European best-seller. This is the fifth-generation model and it’s the best yet – a thoroughly mature small car with a big boot, quality interior and good driving manners. With a snazzy update last year there’s even more reason to recommend it.
There’s a hybrid model available which aids economy, but the basic 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol is the most affordable. That's no bad thing, though. The entry-level petrol version is a belter, offering value and economy in fun-sized dollops.

Pros
- Spacious for its size
- Impressive economy
- Plenty of equipment
Cons
- Could be more refined
- A little noisy on the motorway
Mature supermini punches above its price
The SEAT Ibiza is a mature and sturdy supermini. It shares its underpinnings with the Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia, and now-deceased Audi A1, and the Ibiza is the most affordable pick out of the bunch. The tradeoff is a slightly drab interior with some questionable plastics.
It's a practical choice with a generous 355-litre boot and plenty of interior space. Best of all, the most cost-savvy deals are for the plusher models. For just over £150 per month, you can get an Ibiza Xcellence complete with keyless go, rain-sensing wipers, and rear parking sensors.

Pros

Sensible offering, recently updated
Always popular, never a regrettable pick, but utterly uninspiring sum the Vauxhall Corsa up. Pick almost any parameter, and you'll find something better for the price. Boot and interior space are average, while interior storage space is non-existent. Driving dynamics are fine, as is the efficiency, but neither can match cars like the Renault Clio or Suzuki Swift.
Value stands in its corner, though. Almost all of Vauxhall's cars can be leased for less than £200 per month, and the Corsa sits right at the bottom, whether you plug it into a petrol or electric model. It's a sensible pick and will serve as a very competent car for most duties, but there are better cars out there.

Excellent space, value and economy
This generation of Hyundai i10 has been around for a little while now, but it's still arguably the best city car in on sale. The interior is far bigger than it has any right to be, especially with such compact exterior dimensions. It doesn't scrimp on boot space either, it's a packaging masterclass. Then there's the slew of sophisticated safety features that add to the i10's appeal. It's one of the cheapest ways into a new car, but you will have to hold on to it for four years.
The high-tech Hyundai comes with plenty of driver assistance and infotainment tech, as well as a range of super-efficient petrol engines. It doesn’t just have to be confined to the city, we’d very happily take the i10 on a long journey in reasonable comfort.

Mazda 3
Good to drive, cheap to run and enjoyable to own
The Mazda 3 counts the Volkswagen Golf and other family hatchbacks as competition, which makes its availability at this price point remarkable. The Mazda 3 is left-field in its execution, but the fundamentals make for a solid and very endearing family car.
It also looks more premium than it is, and there's no whiff of cheap and cheerful at all. The interior is among the plushest (and snuggest) on this list, and it's good fun to drive. Then you add the exceptional value into the mix, and it stands out as a steal.

Roomy, stylish and comfortable to drive
The Peugeot 2008 is a stylish alternative to the perennially popular but underwhelming Nissan Juke, and the leasing deals make it all the more tempting. The interior is where the 2008 excels, the quality materials and finish punch well above its price point thanks to a blend of soft-touch plastics, tasteful chrome and ambient lighting on all trim levels.
A 40 mpg real-world economy is nothing to be sniffed at, while the 1.2-litre engine offers good performance. The suspension is set up for comfort, making longer trips a breeze. One thing worth noting is the unusual i-cockpit layout. With its minuscule steering wheel mounted down low and high-set dials, it can be difficult for taller drivers to get a comfortable driving position. The boot and rear seat size aren’t much to write home about either, they’re both distinctively average.

Competent SUV that's great for families
The bad news is the much improved Vauxhall Grandland doesn't fit into our pricing criteria, so you're stuck with the older, worse model. the good news? Well, it is cheap money for an okay car that's quite a bit bigger than the competition. It's just what families need for just the right amount of money.
It's based on the old Peugeot 3008, so it's fine to drive, has an acceptably finished interior, and big boot too. The alternatives are more expensive in monthly finance too and it's a tried-and-tested model with no ownership headaches to mention. The previous generation Grandland is worth a look at the very least.

The best new cars to finance for around £150 a month 2025
Fun to drive, cheap to finance
The Suzuki Swift is part of a dying breed of light and simple small cars, and we love it for those reasons. Tipping the scales at less than a tonne in 2025 is a spectacular achievement for a car that can fit five. It's fun to drive, the mild-hybrid setup keeps it frugal to run, and the equipment levels are exceedingly generous.
Best of all, finance offers for the Swift are simply stunning. An attractive 0% APR rate is available across the entire range, including the Ultra model with its automatic air conditioning and electric folding door mirrors. We just wish the all-wheel drive ALLGRIP model was as competitively priced.

Rock-bottom pricing for a family-sized SUV
No bargain car list would be complete without a Dacia, and the all-new Duster is a bobby-dazzler of a finance deal. The Duster builds on the success of the old one, adding some extra technology and new styling without massively jacking up the price or sacrificing practicality.
Finance rates for the Duster are spectacular at the moment. A top-of-the-line Duster can be financed for £153 per month, which includes luxuries like heated seats and a faux leather interior. If you don't mind an austere example, it could cost you less than £100 per month. Duster not big enough? The order books for all-new Dacia Bigster are now open and just as temptingly cheap.

Exceptional supermini all-rounder
We fought tooth and nail to get the Skoda Fabia included in this article because we rate it so highly. It has the biggest boot size in the supermini class, an interior packed with clever features to make day-to-day life easier, and it feels grown up and polished. The most significant criticism against it is a lack of jazziness, which isn't a real concern when the car is so unashamedly logical.
It's based on the same platform as the Volkswagen Polo and SEAT Ibiza but undercuts both on list price. Leasing prices aren't uncompetitive - the larger Skoda Kamiq is better value for money here - so that leaves PCP. We have to settle for a rather unimpressive 6.9% APR, but getting a Fabia for £175 per month is possible.

The small EV that punches above its class
We were so impressed with the MG 4EV that we awarded it our 2024 Car of the Year. Nothing could compete with its exceptional blend of value, battery tech, and practicality. It marked a huge step forward in making electric cars both more affordable and enjoyable to drive.
Leasing rates fluctuate wildly, so we can't recommend the one on the leasing deal in good faith. At the time of writing, prices were £250 per month, but we've seen them as low as £170. Thankfully, PCP rates are far more affordable. You'll need to make a pretty high deposit to get the attractive zero-interest finance offer, but the monthly fees are manageable against the list price.
