In Review; BMW X1 sDrive 20i M-Sport 5dr Step-Auto (Auto/ Petrol)

What is the best SUV leasing deal? Good luck in qualifying that question! The UK automotive market is now swimming with great SUV options, in all makes/models/sizes/engines; actually choosing one is now almost impossible.

Our Luton-based personal leasing customer wanted a more prestige SUV for circa £300 per month; this is a very common budget which our customers have for these types of cars.

With higher-specification Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage, Peugeot 3008 or medium specification Audi Q3, BMW X2 and Jaguar E-Pace all seemingly available, the customer is going to have to carefully consider their way forwards.

The growth of SUV products has come about because customers now prefer a high-driving position, aesthetics and technology. Manufacturers invest more into their crossover product and customers are now benefiting from this by procuring cars with navigation, parking sensors, heated front seats and active cruise control. It has also become clear that the traditional MPV/family cars are simply not as popular; from a looks-perspective these are a little tad and boring.

As such, they are not being produced in anywhere near the quantity they used to.
