Cheapest Cars to Lease in 2022

2022 has had a rough start, with the fuel and energy crises taking the lion’s share of our finances. Getting a brand new car may not be at the top of everyone’s list with the expensive running costs, maintenance and monthly insurance payments. If you’re looking for cheap car leasing and want to get the car you desire for a reasonable monthly price, you have come to the right place. 

Whether you’re searching for a personal lease or a business, AVL offers a wide selection of vehicles that truly should be taken into consideration. Check out some of our other amazing special offers here.  

Affordability involves more than just the cost per month, though. So that you can make sure you’re getting the proper car for your budget, we’ve put together a list of five budget-friendly cars you can lease. 

• Ford – Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta is one of the best-selling vehicles in the UK and for good reason.  It is completely enjoyable to drive, comfortable for lengthy trips, and has excellent handling for cruising through the city or the countryside.

The Fiesta checks all the right boxes when it comes to low operating costs, which is a big factor in why it’s such a cheap car.

MPG: 

If you choose the excellent 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine, you’ll get 52.3 to 55.4 mpg. The mild-hybrid assisted powertrain is another option, increasing this to well over 56 mpg.

Insurance: 

Starting with group 2, insurance is also quite affordable.

Lease Cost: 

Lease prices start at £258 and go up to £316.

• Skoda –  Octavia 

The modern Octavia boasts a distinctively crisp appearance, a comfortable interior, and is amply tech-equipped. It has a lot of room, too, with room for a family to relax and a huge amount of storage options all over the cabin. Despite the Octavia’s size, it doesn’t affect how it drives. With its good selection of economical engines, its size won’t put too much of a dent in your wallet either.

MPG: 

Starting with the base 113 horsepower diesel, it achieves over 65 mpg. The 109 horsepower 1.0-litre and 148 horsepower 1.5-liter petrol engines can each achieve above 50 mpg.

Insurance: 

The Octavia sits in the fairly reasonable range of  11 to 25 insurance groups.

Lease Cost: 

Lease prices start at £289 and go up to £472

• Renault  – Zoe 

The Renault Zoe makes more sense than most electric vehicles if you want to reduce your petrol expenses. In addition to having a sophisticated appearance, it is also useful, surprisingly roomy, and has a respectable driving range. Even though the Zoe’s design has changed over the past three generations and its range has more than doubled, it is still among the most affordable electric vehicles on the market. The Renault Zoe is a polished and potent electric vehicle that has snappy acceleration and a quiet, quiet ride.

Miles Per Charge: 

The Zoe has an outstanding range of 345 miles on the 52kWh battery variant.

Cost Per mile: 

The Renault Zoe is a genuine candidate for an affordable EV and an economical car due to its low monthly leasing prices and low cost of charging per mile (3.6p).

Lease Cost: 

Lease prices start at £382 and go up to £420

• Volkswagen –  Polo

The Volkswagen Polo offers excellent value for the money spent on a vehicle. Even entry-level models have a luxurious feel with cutting-edge technology.

The Polo is an appealing alternative. Volkswagen is a premium supermini because of its excellent construction. It’s surprisingly roomy, with enough front and rear legroom, and because of the big windows all around, it also feels airy and light.

The Polo also has a complete safety package, including a driver-alert automated braking system (AEB) with built-in pedestrian recognition.

MPG: 

The lower-powered 1.0-litre engine offers a very respectable 51 mpg, and is an option if you’re genuinely searching for economical, reasonable motoring.

Insurance: 

The Polo is available in the fantastically low-cost insurance group 1 on select models. 

Lease Cost: 

Lease prices start at £223 and go up to £324.

• Kia – Picanto 

The Kia Picanto is a fantastic little city car that blends appearance and functionality.  Contrary to many city vehicles, the Picanto comes with five doors as standard, which is a significant benefit for your passengers if they’re used to crowding into the rear of a little three-door. You and your friends can argue over the best song because Bluetooth® with Music Streaming is included in all of our models! 

MPG: 

The 1.0-liter and 1.25-liter petrol engines in the Kia Picanto return exceptional fuel economy, with Kia claiming 64.2 mpg and up to 61.4 mpg for manual-gearbox cars with stop-start, respectively. 

Insurance: 

The Kia Picanto sits in the fairly reasonable insurance Group of 5. 

Lease Cost: 

Lease prices start at £200 and go up to £350
