It used to cost a fortune to lease that retro darling. Prices climbed steadily all year, like bad rent increases. But now? The tide turns. The stylish French electric hatchback sits just under £200 per month. Specifically, £193.
The Math
Auto Express and Carwow Leasey are offering this. A two-year deal. You put down £2,611 upfront. You drive 5,000 miles a year. If that mileage feels tight, you can pay more. Bump the limit to 8,000 miles? It adds less than £11 to your monthly bill on a nine-month initial payment term.
Shorten the initial payment period? Good luck keeping it cheap. Drop to nine months initial and the price jumps to £230.96. A chunky increase, yes. But for that price, you get something else entirely.
Charging perks
There’s a voucher included. It slashes Gridserve charging costs by 20%. Nationwide. For a full year. Think about the savings on rapid chargers. Is it enough to make the commute pleasant?
“Slash 20% off charge points.”
That’s the hook. You buy the car cheap, you charge it cheap. It adds up.
The Specs
This isn’t the base model with the tiny battery. It’s the 52kWh unit. Big battery. Renault promises 252 miles of range. Realistically, you’ll get close enough. It charges fast. 100kW DC fast charging means you’re from 10% to 80% in under 30 minutes.
Power goes up too. The larger battery feeds a 148bhp motor. Not the weak 118bhp variant. 0-62mph happens in 7.9 seconds. Quick for a boxy little car. Not a sports car. But adequate.
Inside Out
It’s the Techno+ trim. Entry-level for the big battery, but not stripped back. Black roof with red accents. 18-inch alloys. The seats look like recycled denim, which smells less like old upholstery shops and more like conscious design. Google built into the infotainment means you don’t fiddle with maps. Ambient lighting glows.
And the color. Metallic Pop Green. Standard. Hard to ignore at lights.
