We have put together this article which includes some of the best low emission cars for you to lease in 2020.
There has been a huge boost in Clean Air Zones (CAZ) around the country as large cities, such as Birmingham, Nottingham and Leeds are following in the capital’s footsteps and getting their own CAZs. Even though this on its own could prevent people from using their cars so much and reduce CO2 emissions, there are things we can do ourselves too.
Leasing a low emission car could not just save you money when driving through Clean Air Zones, but it could also help you personally save the environment all year round by reducing the amount of CO2 emissions your car produces. To help achieve this, we have put together this article which includes some of the best low emission cars for you to lease in 2020.
MINI Countryman PHEV
The first low emission car that you can lease that’s at the top of our list is the MINI Countryman PHEV. This is slightly out of MINI’s comfort zone as the Countryman PHEV is the first MINI to feature a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. However, it’s revolutionary for the brand as the plug-in hybrid drivetrain allows low emissions of 43g/km and it has the ability to be driven on its battery for up to 31 miles.
The best thing about leasing the MINI Countryman PHEV is that you still get the classic design and features that you would expect from a MINI (such as its grippy all-wheel drive) but you get even better efficiency at an even cheaper price!
Nissan Leaf E+
The next low emission car for leasing on our top list is the British-built Nissan Leaf, also known as, the master of all electric cars. If you lease the Nissan Leaf E+, you can expect a 2.0 litre engine and a whopping distance of 239 miles in just one charge.
Therefore, the Nissan Leaf E+ doesn’t just ensure you have zero CO2 emissions output, but it’s the perfect car for long journeys. In fact, its design features a five-door configuration which is ideal for families.
Tesla Model 3
Now, moving onto one of the more acclaimed gems of our low emission car leasing lineup, the Tesla Model 3. Tesla is by far one of the most well-known brands when it comes to electric vehicles which is why we couldn’t help but include one in our top low emission cars to lease. In fact, in August last year, the Tesla Model 3 reached third spot in the top 10 SMMT registrations.
When leasing the Tesla Model 3, you will receive some of the best technology you could ever imagine in a car. From its immense tablet-style central display to its sentry guarding system which ensures the vehicle is protected at all times when parked.
The standard plus range Tesla model might only have a single motor, but one full charge allows it to perform for up to 254 miles and of course, it doesn’t produce any CO2 emissions.
Volvo XC40 Twin Engine Hybrid
If you are more of an SUV lover, our next low emission car available for leasing is ideal for you. The Volvo XC40 Twin Engine Hybrid is the first SUV in the XC40 range to feature this low emission petrol-electric (hence ‘twin’) set with plug-in feature. The Volvo XC40 Hybrid features a 10.7kWh battery which allows the SUV to perform via electric for as far as 28.6 miles. This means that a low CO2 emission of just 41g/km is produced in this time.
BMW 33e
When it comes to leasing a low emission car, a small car doesn’t always mean more efficient. You can actually find many classics that are still more favourable for the environment, such as those in the BMW 3 Series. One of these is the BMW 33e.
The 33e comes equipped with an electric-petrol PHEV engine which allows the saloon to drive for up to 36 miles charge-free in its zero emissions mode. Alternatively, the BMW 33e will produce just 38g/km of CO2 emissions if you want to travel a little further.
We previously showed you a great low emission car to lease for families, but the BMW 33e is perfect as a company car as it comes with a low benefit-in-kind company car tax of just 12% which has been available since April this year.
