Leasing can be an affordable, practical route into having your own private car, but it's not always easy to tell the good deals from the duds.
The experts at our sister magazine What Car? work hard to find you the best pay-monthly schemes, taking into account mileage allowance, montly outlay, contract length and initial deposit. We'll be bringing you the best deals they find from a different segment each week.
This week, family hatchbacks:
£1135 deposit, £189 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year
We love the Ford Focus because it’s a great driver’s car. True, it isn’t what it once was, but then who is? It doesn’t disappoint for space, either, although it lacks the premium levels of fit and finish found in its rivals here.
£1178 deposit, £196 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year
How good is the Kia Ceed these days? Very. It’s a great effort in an intensely competitive segment. The Ceed has new-found levels of ride and handling sophistication and plenty of space for your family of four – or even five if you have a close friend in your bubble.
£1548 deposit, £253 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year
Gone is the rear-wheel-drive craziness of the original BMW 1 Series, and in its place is this suaver, calmer and roomier hatch. But don’t worry: although front-wheel drive, it’s still good fun, and to some eyes it’s better looking too, so you won’t want to park it around the corner.
