Hybrid car lease benefits 

So, why should you choose a hybrid car lease? Leasing a hybrid car is one of the best ways to experience driving a new hybrid car. From reduced costs to changing to a new, more advanced model every few years, here are some of the benefits of choosing a hybrid car lease: 

• Sustainable option: Hybrid car leasing means you can reduce your carbon footprint. Hybrid cars typically produce lower emissions than normal cars. 
• Drive a new car every few years: At the end of your contract, simply hand your current car back and choose the latest model, so you can stay up to date with new technology. 
• More affordable way of driving: With a hybrid car lease, you’ll have access to a car that may have been out of your price range. Lease payments are more affordable than paying a lump sum upfront or other types of car finance. 
• Fixed monthly payments: You won’t have to worry about any unexpected costs with your monthly lease payments — they’ll stay the same throughout your contract. 
• Test out a range of hybrid cars: Have a car in mind you’d love to try out? Choose a new hybrid car with a short leasing contract. 
• No need to worry about depreciation or selling: Unlike buying a car, when you’re ready for a new model, you can simply hand it back to us and we’ll take care of it for you. No need to worry about losing money or the hassle of selling it. 

About hybrid car leasing

Hybrid car leasing is the best way to drive a hybrid car. 

Each month, you’ll have a fixed monthly payment that will stay the same throughout the contract so you don’t need to worry about any surprise costs. Your warranty will be covered within this monthly payment, and you can even add maintenance options and insurance so you don’t have to budget for this separately. Wondering how a hybrid car works? Let us explain below: 

What is a hybrid car? 

Hybrid cars combine an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. They work together to reduce emissions and cut fuel consumption. 

There are a few types of hybrid cars, including mild hybrid vehicles (MHEV), hybrid vehicles (HEV) which charge through regenerative braking — no need for an external charger, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) which need to be recharged through an electric charger. 

Plug-in hybrid vehicles have a longer all-electric range than hybrid electric vehicles. HEVs can only travel short distances on all-electric power, around 50 miles. Mild hybrid vehicles cannot run on just electricity; the battery is used to support the combustion engine. 

Hybrid vs. Electric car leasing 

Wondering whether you’d suit a hybrid or all-electric car? Let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons of each: 

Hybrid car pros 

• Fuel-efficient: Hybrid cars combine both electric and internal combustion engines. They work together to improve fuel economy. 
• No range anxiety: Because hybrid cars have an internal combustion engine to back up the electric motor, drivers don’t need to worry about battery range.
• Lower emissions: Hybrid cars typically produce lower emissions than petrol and diesel cars. 
• Convenience: Some hybrid cars don’t need to be plugged in, which means you don’t have to think about charging or plan when you’ll be plugged in. 

Hybrid car cons 

• Higher cost: Hybrid cars typically come with a higher upfront cost than traditional cars, but with a hybrid car lease, you can experience a hybrid car of your choice for less. 
• Complexity: If your hybrid car requires repairs or maintenance, the internal system is more complex and therefore may require a specialist mechanic or parts. 
• Limited electric range: Hybrid cars are a good choice if you’re not ready to commit to a fully electric car, but if you want to travel on just electric power, you’ll need to check the range of the model you choose. 
• Environmental impact: While hybrid cars are a more environmentally friendly choice than traditional cars, they still produce emissions. 

Let’s weigh up the pros and cons of electric car leasing to help you make your decision: 

Electric car pros

• Zero emission: Electric cars don’t produce tailpipe emissions. 
• Lower costs: You won’t have to fill your car with petrol, meaning you can avoid fluctuating fuel costs.
• Quiet drive: Electric cars are smoother and quieter to drive due to the internal electric motor. 
• Energy efficient: EVs convert more energy from the battery to the wheels, meaning you can go further using less energy. 

Electric car cons  

• Range anxiety: Electric cars have limited range compared to petrol or diesel cars. Drivers need to plan when and where they’ll top up, especially on long journeys. 

• Charging infrastructure: Rural areas may not have as many accessible charging points. It’s essential to consider this before choosing an EV. 

• Battery lifespan: While the battery lifespan of electric cars will typically outlast the term you’ll be driving them, there is a chance a replacement battery may be necessary, which can be costly.

Yes, a hybrid car lease is the same as both traditional and electric car leasing. Simply choose a personal or hybrid lease option, complete the paperwork and we’ll deliver your new car to your door. It couldn’t be easier! 

Are there different types of hybrid cars? 

Yes, there are different types of hybrid cars to choose from. Plug-in hybrid cars (PHEVs) use an external charger, like a wall box, to top up their charge. Hybrid vehicles (HEVs) don’t need to be charged externally, as they use regenerative braking to top up the battery. If you don’t have a driveway or a place to install a wall box electric charger at home, a full hybrid vehicle could be a better option. 

Do hybrid cars pay tax? 

Yes, hybrid cars do pay road tax. This is because while your hybrid car is powered by electricity, it has an internal combustion engine that contributes to carbon emissions. The amount of car tax you’ll pay depends on the type of hybrid car you choose.
