Why These Matter for Leasing
-
Early access = competitive deals: Leasing providers who secure first allocation often offer attractive terms.
-
Depreciation curves: Vehicles entering new segments (especially EVs) may see steeper early depreciation, which can benefit lessees if residuals are predicted well.
-
Running costs & incentives: EVs and hybrids may lower fuel/energy costs and qualify for tax or benefit incentives (depending on future UK policy).
-
Brand diversification: The surge of Chinese brands gives lessees more choices, sometimes with features that disrupt traditional brands’ pricing.
Looking Ahead
2025 is shaping up to be a milestone year for drivers, whether you’re eyeing the latest EV technology or sticking with tried-and-true petrol performance. At CC Leasing, we’ll help you make sense of the options and secure the best leasing deal for your needs.
