New Car Deals
Below are deals on new cars that we think are worth highlighting. If you're looking to cut costs to the bone, we've uncovered cars that you can drive for less than £100 per month, but if you're looking to buy something bigger or more expensive, we have those deals covered too - in depth - in our Cheap Car Finance section.
PCP Car Finance: Small cars for under £100 a month
We've looked all over to find you the best offers on small cars. PCP deals aren't for everyone, but if you're after low monthly payments and want a new car, they can be cost effective. These are the cheapest we currently know of:
| The car | The PCP finance deal |
|
Dacia Sandero Ambience SCe 75 The Dacia Sandero is a refreshingly straightforward and affordable car, compared to other 'value' alternatives, with prices starting from less than £7500. It's quite a lot more practical than similarly priced cars like the Citroen C1, plus it's cheap to run and easy to drive – which makes it a great choice for the budget-conscious buyer. Our full review of the Dacia Sandero here |
Monthly payment: £99 Cash price: £7795 Customer deposit: £1454 Dealer deposit contribution: £250 Total deposit: £1704 Duration: 36 months/annual mileage: 6000 Total amount of credit: £6091 at 4.9% APR representative, optional final payment: £3220 Total payable by customer: £8487, excess mileage fee: 8p per mile |
|
Suzuki Celerio 1.0 SZ2 While the Suzuki Celerio isn't the most interesting car in its class, it’s claimed to average 65.7mpg and is cheap to maintain. All in, it's an affordable little runabout and a great choice for those trying to keep costs low. It doesn’t have much kit in SZ2 trim, which is featured in this deal, but you do get the basics and a DAB radio. Our full review of the Suzuki Celerio here |
Monthly payment: £89 Cash price: £7499 Customer deposit: £1740 Dealer deposit contribution: £0 Total deposit: £1740 Duration: 49 months/annual mileage: 6000 Total amount of credit: £5759 at 5.69% APR representative, optional final payment: £2465 Total payable by customer: £8477, excess mileage fee: 7p per mile |
|
Ford Ka+ Studio 1.2 Ti-VCT 70PS The Ka+ is the cheapest new Ford and a serviceable little hatchback to boot. It isn't the most exciting car to drive, by any stretch, but it won’t break the bank. The Ka+ is available on a PCP deal that costs £99 a month over two years, following a customer deposit of £3579. That’s a hefty amount to put down but this Ka+ does come with lots of kit, including a DAB radio, air-con and cruise control. Our full review of the Ford Ka+ here |
Monthly payment: £99 Cash price: £11,100 Customer deposit: £3579 Dealer deposit contribution: £0 Total deposit: £3579 Duration: 24 months/annual mileage: 9000 Total amount of credit: £7521 at 0% APR representative, optional final payment: £5145 Total payable by customer: £11,100, excess mileage fee: 7.2p per mile |
|
Hyundai i10 S 1.0 66PS The i10 is a handsome hatchback that offers up an impressive amount of space and a good quality interior. It’s also decent to drive and ultimately, as a result of its impressive credentials, it won our Most Popular City Car award in 2017. Go for a three-year PCP deal and, after putting down £2600, you could drive one for £99 a month. Our full review of the Hyundai i10 here |
Monthly payment: £99 Cash price: £8995 Customer deposit: £2600 Dealer deposit contribution: £250 Total deposit: £2850 Duration: 36 months/annual mileage: 10,000 Total amount of credit: £6145 at 4.9% APR representative, optional final payment: £3294 Total payable by customer: £9700, excess mileage fee: 9p per mile |
|
Kia Picanto 1.0 66PS The Picanto is a smart-looking, capable small car – and an very reasonably priced one at that. This deal on a five-door ‘2’ model, with air-con, features monthly payments of £97 over three years. You'll have to stump up a deposit of £3000 but, should you decide that you want the car at the end of the contract, you’ll benefit further from the remainder of the Kia’s seven-year warranty. Our full review of the Kia Picanto here |
Monthly payment: £97 Cash price: £10,855 Customer deposit: £3000 Dealer deposit contribution: £750 Total deposit: £3750 Duration: 36months/annual mileage: 8000 Total amount of credit: £7105 at 4.9% APR representative, optional final payment: £4467 Total payable by customer: £11,713 excess mileage fee: 7.5p per mile |
