Car Deal of the Day: Spacious and sophisticated Kia Niro EV for less than £240 per month
Comfortable family SUV Three-year lease deal Only £237 per month The Kia Niro EV might not be the newest electric SUV on the block, but it's very good, offering sophisticated looks, a classy interior, comfortable ride and lots of space. Plus, it can be yours for only £237 per month, thanks to this deal we found through the Auto Express Find A Car service. Advertisement - Article continues below That price is being offered by First Vehicle Leasing, through Auto Express. It's for a three-year lease with an initial payment of £3,149, followed by monthly payments of £237. Included in the offer is an annual allowance of 5,000 miles per year, or you can extend it to 8,000 for less than £20 extra each month. Even though this is the entry-level Niro EV, it still comes equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, dual 10.25-inch displays, sat-nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, smart cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and various driver-assistance systems. Every Niro EV features a 65kWh battery that offers up to 285 miles of range and powers a 201bhp fount-mounted electric motor, which can propel the family SUV from 0-62mph in a little under eight seconds. The Kia's 72kW maximum charging speed isn't the fastest we've seen, and as a result, it takes at least 45 minutes to recharge from 10 to 80 per cent battery capacity. Inside, the sharp displays are housed in a single curved panel, below which is the same handy, dual-purpose touch panel as in the Kia EV6. Push one button, and the panel offers either the climate controls or shortcuts for the infotainment system. You also get an impressive 475-litre boot, plus an additional 20 litres of storage space under the bonnet.

Car Deal of the Day: Slash your bills with the Skoda Superb Estate plug-in hybrid for £266 a month
Spacious interior, massive boot Efficient plug-in hybrid Only £265.30 a month Fuel-sipping plug-in hybrid estates don't come much more brilliant and well thought out than the Skoda Superb Estate – and, judging by the Auto Express Find a Car service, you can throw value for money into the mix, too. This two-year deal from First Vehicle Leasing sees you taking the keys for just £265.30 a month, after an initial payment of £3,482.55. Mileage is capped at 5,000 a year, but this can be nudged up to a more flexible 8,000 miles per annum for an extra £23.72 a month. Advertisement - Article continues below This is especially good value for money when you realise what a great plug-in hybrid the Superb is. It uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine combined with an electric motor, which in turn, draws its power from a chunky 25.7kWh battery, providing up to 84 miles of electric range. Skoda claims a whopping 783.4mpg fuel economy, but you're going to get considerably less than that, based on our testing. Despite this, the Superb plug-in hybrid will still likely slash your bills, plus thanks to 50kW DC charging capability, topping up that battery won't take long, either. The latest Superb is a smart car and very comfortable car, with supple suspension, plus the added bonus of fantastic refinement, thanks to the PHEV's electric running credentials. Naturally, just like all Superbs before, the current car has tons of interior space. Back-seat passengers can stretch out like they're in a limo, while the boot is an enormous 510 litres in the PHEV version, which can be expanded to a van-like 1,770 litres.

Car Deal of the Day: Bag the iconic Volkswagen Golf GTI for under £300 a month
Illustrious heritage Fun to drive; 261bhp Just £294.10 a month The Volkswagen Golf GTI has been a go-to hot hatchback for 50 years, on account of its perfect blend of performance, practicality and pleasingly discreet styling. Naturally, with such a pedigree, you wouldn't expect to get a GTI for pennies. But, our Deal of the Day might go some way to change your expectations. Advertisement - Article continues below First Vehicle Leasing, through the Auto Express Find a Car service, is offering the spicy hatch for just £294.10 – that's the cheapest we've seen it for, well, we can't remember. This two-year deal requires £3,828.15 to be put down first as an initial payment – a bit chunky, yes, but this helps to keep the monthly payments down. Mileage is capped at 5,000 a year, but this can be tweaked up to 8,000 a year for £16.40 a month. At the heart of the GTI is its 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that pumps out 261bhp. If that sounds a lot, then it is – the most recent update for the Golf, the Mk8.5, saw a near 20bhp power hike over its predecessor. Thanks to that, along with a snappy seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox (there's no manual option available any more), 0-62mph takes a rather rapid 5.9 seconds, and top speed is limited to 155mph. The main reason the GTI is so brilliant is how well rounded it is. It's just as at home on the school run on tight, congested city streets, as it is threading together twisting country roads. Being a high-spec model in the Golf range, the GTI gets plenty of bells and whistles. Standard equipment includes matrix LED headlights, LED rear lights with 'dynamic' indicators, heated front seats, and 30-colour ambient lighting. And, because it's a GTI, the seats are trimmed in 'Jacara' check cloth. The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Find A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car dealers and leasing companies around the UK. Terms and conditions apply, while prices and offers are subject to change and limited availability.

Car Deal of the Day: Posh Passat plug-in hybrid estate for just £235 a month is a steal
High-spec Elegance model Plug-in hybrid; 77-mile EV range Just £234.49 a month The Volkswagen Passat has always been a sensible choice for both company car drivers and family buyers over the past 50 years on account of its mature image, high-quality build and practical interior. You can now add strong value for money to the mix, too, judging by this deal, because First Vehicle Leasing is offering the Passat for just £234.49 a month right now. That means it's cheaper than its supposedly more downmarket sister, the Skoda Superb, by around £30 a month. There's a £3,112.90 initial payment to sort first, and this is a two-year deal with mileage limited to 5,000 a year. You can, however, nudge this cap up to 8,000 miles annually for just under £25 extra a month, should you need more flexibility. Advertisement - Article continues below The latest Passat so nearly didn't happen thanks to the popularity of SUVs and crossovers, but at the last hour Volkswagen gave the long-running model a reprieve. It now only comes as an estate, though, which will please those after SUV-like levels of interior space, with a massive 530-1,760-litre boot being a highlight. This deal nets you the posh Elegance model. It comes with a range of luxuries as standard such as matrix LED headlights, sports comfort seats that have a 13-feature massage function, a tilting and sliding panoramic roof, a pair of screens up front, and an electric tailgate with hands-free functionality. Plus, it gets fancy LED rear lights that can dance in different ways, which will really impress the neighbours. Under the bonnet you'll find a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid petrol combo. With 201bhp, performance is brisk enough, with 0-62mph taking 8.1 seconds, and you won't be visiting the petrol station often if you keep the car's 19.7kWh battery pack topped up, because it will give you 77 miles of pure electric power. The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Find A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car dealers and leasing companies around the UK. Terms and conditions apply, while prices and offers are subject to change and limited availability.
