Best 16 Plate Deals
Our 'best of the bunch' from the deals on new 16 plate cars
10. Mercedes A Class
Personal Lease
£221 per month
Traditionally the Mercedes brand was one that most of us wouldn’t bother looking at due to the steep prices, prestige and luxury, which a lot of us felt we couldn’t afford so didn’t waste time looking. But since the introduction of the first hatchback from Mercedes, the A Class, there is now a car that a lot more of us can actually afford which still offers the luxurious creature comforts that we’d expect from the big German brand. At just £221 a month you can be rolling around in your very own Benz while making a big saving on fuel courtesy of the 72mpg on offer from the A180 diesel model.
9. Nissan Micra
Personal Lease
£95 per month
In the market for a nice small run around to take down to the supermarkets and navigate through built up areas? The super reliable Micra is probably one of the best established hatchbacks in this segment and the new model offers more of the same. The car will return you 56.6mpg from the petrol engine and you’ll probably spending more on a weekly supermarket trip than on the monthly payments for the car, which sit at just £95 with an initial rental of £855. Very affordable.
8. Skoda Yeti
Personal Lease
£126 per month
The new Yeti has proven to be an extremely popular choice in the UK due to the versatility and comfort on offer. The Yeti appeals to older consumers who seek something they can slide in and out of and the safety benefits appeal to family buyers too who seek the higher ride height and the cavernous boot-space, which is perfect for anyone who frequents IKEA for their flatpack furniture, or anyone who owns large dogs. The Yeti is also available in 4 wheel drive models if your weekly duties involve negotiating a Sunday League football field. The Yeti is a reliable car and at £126 per month you get a lot of car for not a lot of money.
7. Infiniti Q50
PCP
£299 per month
Infiniti are really picking up momentum in the UK as their new Q30 hatchback is making its way onto UK roads, based heavily on the successful Mercedes GLA. The Q50 saloon is one to keep an eye on if you’re thinking of a quirky luxury saloon that has different selling points to alternatives in this segment. The Q50 comes with leather throughout the range and features the 2.1 diesel engine you’ll find in the Mercedes C220. The main selling point, in our opinion, is the level and excellence of technology inside the Q50. Yes the seats are electric and the keyless technology is impressive, but the really impressive feature is the dual screen In Car Technology and Sat Nav. All the functions you’d expect are accessible through a genuinely intuitive touch-screen which isn’t laggy and the operating software makes sense. Important functions aren’t hidden behind sub-menus and it is particularly easy to operate without distracting the driver from the road ahead. The birds eye 360 degree camera is also properly impressive kit.
6. Mercedes-Benz E Class
Business Lease
£190 per month
One for business users here, the new E Class is available at an exceptionally low price. For just £190 per month you can slide yourself into a prestigious Merc, one above the ‘Junior’ saloon market consisting of the 3 series and XE etc… The E Class comes oozing with standard luxury and equipment and is a real looker in the office car park. This deal is on the saloon model of the E Class and has the economical 2.2 engine which returns 64.2 mpg. Perfect for shipping around your colleagues and executives. Not one to be missed, this is probably the most prestige for your money you’ll find this year.
5. Jaguar XE
Personal Lease
£324 per month
Watch out, Germans, there’s a new Luxury Saloon on the market and it comes from the boys in Britain. The Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class have never had an opposition quite as well-rounded, desirable and equally prestigious before as the new Jaguar XE. From just £324 per month you can land yourself in a brand new XE with full leather throughout the spec range and an interior which shares a lot of parts with the most luxurious Range Rovers.
Jaguar Land Rover are really smashing it lately and they have become Britain’s largest automotive manufacturer and deservedly so. Take the XE for a test drive and you’ll know just why this is probably one of the most competitive saloon vehicles on the market right now.
4. Renault Captur
Personal Lease
£156 per month
The Captur is probably the most affordable entrant into the compact SUV segment and is a great choice for family buyers. Boasting space to comfortably ship around 2 adults and 3 children in style while also benefitting from the safety benefits of a higher ride height too. At £156 per month it’s difficult to question this deal on the new Captur, it may just come down to whether or not the vehicle is too contemporary in its styling, but that’s subjective.
3. Hyundai Tucson
£253 per month
Personal Lease
5 years ago you’d be laughed at for suggesting a big 4x4 like the Tucson can achieve over 40mpg, but now Hyundai have blown the ‘gas guzzler’ misconception out of the water with their 1.7 CRDi engine returning a whole 61.7mpg! This is a genuinely economical car and feels planted like a tank on the roads. Not to mention the gorgeous interior and 5 star NCAP safety rating. This is a perfect family 4x4 and you get an awful lot of metal for your money at just £253 per month
2. Peugeot 108
Personal Lease
£124 Per Month
Closely related to the hugely popular Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1, the 108 is a super stylish city car, one that we think looks the best of the bunch, and offers everything you’d ask for from a city car and much more. There is a vast range of personalisation options available to make the car feel truly yours, which attracts both younger and older buyers and it is available in both 3 door and 5 door variants.
Our favourite features of the 108 are the key-less go, the reversing camera and the 7 inch touch screen, which shows that buying a small car nowadays doesn’t necessarily mean sacrificing the tech and equipment.
1. Nissan Pulsar
Personal Lease
£132 per month
The Pulsar from Nissan marks the rebirth of an old classic, with the original being a boy-racers dream, and the current being a far more sophisticated family hatchback, it’s a great car to look at for those in the market for something like a VW Golf, Vauxhall Astra etc. The Pulsar comes quite a bit cheaper than competitors at just £132 per month and delivers reassuringly on all the basics such as comfort, practicality, economy and reliability. The Pulsar does also have a slightly higher ride height than competitors, not quite the height of the Nissan Note, but still it is easy to step in and out of.
