There’s no denying the popularity of SUVs among new car buyers. Their combination of rugged looks, practicality and raised driving position that offers a commanding view of the road means they appeal to a wide range of drivers. In fact, many of the UK’s best-selling new cars are SUVs of some kind.
The sheer number of SUVs on sale means there’s plenty of competition on the new car market, particularly if you’re looking to lease one. Many dealers are offering tempting offers, allowing you to spread the cost of your next car over several years.
Here, we share 10 of the best lease deals on brand new SUVs, including petrol, hybrid and electric models.

Version 1.2 MHEV Ti e-DCT | List price £26,545
The Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida goes to show that you don’t have to spend a fortune each month to drive an SUV from a premium brand. Using a 1.2-litre petrol engine with mild hybrid (MHEV) assistance, the Junior is quicker to 62mph than the equivalent Ford Puma and can officially manage nearly 60mpg. What’s more, the Junior is supple over imperfections. Inside, the Junior offers a lower, sportier driving position and plenty of leg and head room up front for six-footers. At 415 litres, the Junior Ibrida’s boot beats that of the Jeep Avenger.

Closely related to a former What Car? Car of the Year winner, the Renault 5, the Renault 4 offers peppy performance and grown up driving manners. Precise steering and a tight turning circle makes it a boon around town, and it feels planted and refined on motorways. What’s more, an official range of 245 miles beats the entry-level BYD Atto 2. Inside, the Renault 4 is plusher than the Ford Puma Gen-E, and offers plenty of room up front for six-footers. In addition to a wide opening, the Renault 4’s boot managed to swallow an impressive six carry-on suitcases in our tests.

Version 1.3 DIG-T N-Connecta | List price £33,615
The Nissan Qashqai is one of the longest running names in the family SUV segment, and it’s easy to see why its appeal is long-lasting. For starters, its smart interior feels sturdy and offers more room in the back for six-footers than the Renault Symbioz. With our favourite 1.3-litre mild hybrid petrol engine fitted, the Qashqai has enough power for trips up the motorway and can officially average nearly 45mpg; more than the equivalent Kia Sportage can manage. Light steering helps to make negotiating crowded city streets a breeze, and there’s enough grip to take on faster corners. What’s more, go for the smallest set of 17in alloy wheels and the Qashqai does a good job of soaking up bumps.

Version 1.5 eTSI MHEV Life DSG | List price £31,990
Our reigning What Car? Small SUV of the Year, the Volkswagen T-Roc offers exceptional space by small SUV standards. There’s more room in the back for six-footers than you’ll find in the Nissan Juke, and the T-Roc’s boot managed to swallow an impressive seven carry-on suitcases. A range of mild hybrid petrol engines are available, with even the cheapest 1.5-litre option providing plenty of low-end poke. A lack of body lean and plenty of grip help to make the T-Roc more agile than the Peugeot 2008. What’s more, on the motorway, there’s little audible road or wind noise.

Version 75kWh Engage | List price £32,249
It’s not just the Nissan Leaf’s competitive lease deals that appeal. With the larger 75.1kWh (usable capacity) battery fitted, it can officially manage 387 miles; more than any Kia EV3. The Leaf is generally comfortable over bumps, although the suspension is firm enough to resist body lean. Add to that precise steering and good grip and the Leaf inspires confidence on twisty roads. In addition to feeling more upmarket than the Ford Puma Gen-E, the Leaf’s interior has lots of leg room all round. Moreover, during our tests, we managed to fit six carry-on suitcases in the Leaf’s boot.

Version Standard Range Style | List price £32,685
Its name might be transatlantic but the latest Ford Explorer is a very European electric SUV, sharing its underpinnings with the Volkswagen ID 4. In entry-level Standard Range Style guise, the Explorer can officially manage 239 miles between charges and offers decent performance. There’s less body lean through tight corners than the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has, and accurate steering. What’s more, on the motorway, the Explorer produces little road noise or motor whine. A pair of six-footers will feel comfortable in the back of the Explorer, and there are plenty of storage cubbies throughout the interior. Every Explorer comes as standard with keyless entry, adaptive cruise control and dual-zone climate control.

Strengths
- Outstanding seven-seat practicality
- Comfortable and quiet at speed
- Long warranty
Weaknesses
- PHEV’s underwhelming electric-only range
- Not the quickest or most agile seven seater
- Some rivals are even cheaper
Version 1.6 T-GDi 13.8kWh Premium | List price £53,410
In short, the Hyundai Santa Fe is outstandingly practical; it’s why we named it our 2026 What Car? Seven-Seat SUV of the Year. There’s more passenger space in the third row than the Peugeot 5008 has. With those seats folded flat, the Santa Fe features up to 628 litres of boot space, which is also impressive by class standards. In plug-in hybrid (PHEV) guise, the Santa Fe can sprint from 0-62mph in a respectable 9.0sec and officially cover 33 miles on electric power alone. The Santa Fe is smoother over the bumps than the Mazda CX-80. In entry-level Premium trim, the Santa Fe is well equipped, featuring heated front seats, keyless entry and a wireless phone charger.

Version 2.0 TSI vRS DSG 4WD | List price £55,000
Kodiak bears are among the most powerful carnivores on Earth, so it should come as no surprise to learn that the Skoda Kodiaq vRS is a strong choice against most seven-seat SUVs. With a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine and four-wheel drive, it sprints from 0-62mph in 6.4sec; similar to the entry-level Porsche Macan. The standard-fit adaptive suspension setup helps to keep the Kodiaq vRS’s body composed in its firmest setting yet comfortable in its standard mode. What’s more, there’s loads of passenger space, including more second row head room than you get in the Peugeot 5008. With the third row seats folded, the Kodiaq’s 910-litre boot is among the biggest in its class.

Version Trophy Long Range | List price £40,995
If you’re looking for an electric family SUV that’s sharp to drive, the MG S6 is worth a look. Good grip and precise steering make the S6 enjoyable to drive on twisty country roads, and it resists body lean better than the Citroën ë-C5 Aircross. In Long Range guise, the S6 accelerates from 0-62mph in a competitive 7.3sec; beating the equivalent Skoda Enyaq. This version’s 74.3kWh (usable capacity) battery offers an official range of 329 miles between charges. What’s more, the S6 offers enough room for five tall adults, and plenty of storage cubbies for their odds and ends. During our tests, we fitted seven carry-on suitcases in the S6’s boot, and another in the additional compartment under the bonnet.

Version B5 Core | List price £42,860
There’s a reason why the Volvo XC60 is the brand’s best-selling model to date: it offers a lot for the money. That includes standard equipment, with the entry-level Core trim featuring keyless entry, an electric tailgate, dual-zone climate control and heated front seats. What’s more, the XC60’s interior feels plusher than the BMW X3’s and has plenty of room for four tall occupants. With the cheapest ‘B5’ petrol mild hybrid engine fitted, the XC60 accelerated from 0-60mph in a healthy 7.8sec during our tests. The standard suspension offers a more supple ride than the Audi Q5 while retaining control over undulations.
