With Car Leasing still relatively new within the UK, it is important that you understand what is involved, how it works and things to look out for when comparing prices and models.

The first thing to note, is you will never own the car – you are effectively renting it from the dealer for a fixed period of 2-4 years. Although you are not affected by the decreasing residual value as if you were to buy the car, it is used to calculate the monthly value of your lease. Certain cars hold their value better than others, so we’ve put together a mini review of various makes and models in order to help you decided which lease deal is best for you.

Leasing an Audi

There should be no reason that you can’t lease a top of the range Audi and should certainly consider the A3 range which boasts great performance and style in equal measures. The A4 range includes 4 door saloons, the spacious Avant and the cool Cabriolet. If you want style and performance combined try the TT Coupe or TT Roadster though the recently released A5 is the one to look out for from Audi.

Lease a BMW

There are a number of quality BMWs you should consider for a good car leasing deal. From the 1 series 5 door hatch to the 7 series 730d Sport, there’ll be something to suit every taste. 320i and 325i 2 door coupes are the pick of the 3 series whilst the 325i convertible and 335i 3.0 litre Touring also stand out. If fashion and comfort are your criteria try the 520d 4 and 5 door saloons from the 5 series, whilst the Z4 roadster is ideal for cruising in the summer.

Leasing a Mercedes

No matter what your age, taste or criteria, there will be a Mercedes that will suit your style and budget. The A Class 5 door hatch is a good start whilst the CLS Class Couple is the first 4 door coupe release from Mercedes. If you want to look more mid range, consider the C Class Saloons, the B Class Estates, Coupes and sports Tourer or for that classical look take a look at the E Class. Top of the range sees the R Class, noted for it’s size and the SLK Roadster, noted for it’s performance.

Lease a Volkswagen

Whatever car you choose from VW, you are assured of world class build quality, none more so that the Eos coupe cabriolet. Of course you could always try one of the more popular models with Beetles, Polos, Golfs and Caravelles all available for leasing deals. The larger cars on offer are the Jetta and Passat whilst more seats are available in the Touran and Sharan.
