For drivers looking for an electric car predominantly for urban and suburban use, that could make it one of the most appealing options on the market. Renault is on a bit of a roll at the moment. First came the 5, then the larger 4. And now, Renault’s turned its attention to something smaller, cheaper and arguably even more charging.

The Chery Tiggo 7 might not have been on the market all that long, but it’s the sort of car that has us wondering how long established manufacturers can keep charging more – for less. It isn’t trying to be a premium SUV. Nor does it pretend to reinvent the segment. Instead, Chery has taken a familiar formula in the shape of a five-seat crossover – and attacked the market with a surprisingly low price point. Especially for those in the market for a lease deal.

The FIFA World Cup may have drawn to a close, but football fever is far from over. As clubs unveil their brand-new kits ahead of the new season, supporters are already debating the best shirt designs of the year. While airlines, betting brands and tech companies dominate today’s sponsors, there was a time when some of the world's biggest car manufacturers proudly took centre stage on football shirts.

The L8 is a nice surprise. Rather than an Omoda packaged in a different way, it has a flavour of its own. This isn’t a badge-engineering exercise from Chery Group – it feels distinct while keeping that fantastic value proposition it has become known for.

As a brand, Škoda is going from strength to strength, having firmly established itself as the go-to for all-electric excellence. That started with the brand’s first electric vehicle: the Škoda Enyaq. Now in its second generation, this model – available as a striking SUV or elegant Coupé – has been enhanced in all areas. Which is impressive, because the first generation was a multi-award-winner, so improving it is no mean feat. But Škoda has... Why should I choose the Enyaq? Why wouldn’t you?

The Mazda 6e proves that sharing its foundations with a Chinese partner needn’t dilute its brand’s feel. Instead, it delivers a stylish, refined electric saloon that could become one of the most compelling company cars on the market. Mazda has never been a brand to chase trends for the sake of it. While rivals rushed to launch electric SUVs, the Japanese manufacturer took its time, carefully plotting its next move.

For a quarter of a century, Škoda’s vRS badge has represented performance, precision and everyday usability in equal measure. And in 2026, the Octavia Hatch vRS continues that legacy as the sporty flagship of Škoda’s best-selling model range. Created for drivers who demand the very best possible drive, the Octavia vRS does something that very few cars are capable of: balancing motorsport-inspired excellence with the practicality and technology needed for family and business life. The result?

The pace of technology improvements also means by leasing, companies can future-proof their fleet indefinitely. While established names such as Ford, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz have been slower to embrace electrification, there are some new and significant options to look at if you’re looking to lease an electric van.
