Best new car deals – latest deals updated: 27 May 2022

It may be the latest Skoda Octavia that takes all the plaudits, but the honest Skoda Scala shouldn’t be overlooked. Not everyone needs quite as much space as the Octavia, and the Scala offers a similar level of space to a SEAT Leon and Ford Focus at a lower price. Skoda now offers a £1,500 deposit contribution, and a two-year service plan for £199 (which will save you money down the line). Mid-range SE spec (our pick of the range) includes rear parking sensors, cruise control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The latest Nissan Juke is far better than its predecessor, the car that really set off the craze for small SUVs. There’s an economical petrol engine, more equipment, a newer feel and, importantly, extra space for passengers and luggage. For the time being, there’s also a £750 deposit contribution, and you don’t have to put much in upfront. Acenta trim gets ‘big car’ features such as LED headlights, an eight-inch touchscreen and a reversing camera.

The DS 7 Crossback is France’s answer to the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, and was even the car of choice for the French president. With a deposit contribution of up to £3,200, the Opera range-topper is cheaper than an equivalent Q5. It gets adaptive headlights, keyless entry, plenty of driving-assistance technology and even massaging front seats. We’ve chosen the petrol engine over the diesel because it’s noticeably quicker and still promises 40mpg fuel economy.

Audi deals

The Audi A5 is available on PCP finance and Audi is contributing £4,000 towards the cost of your deposit. For the coupe model in 35 TFSI S Line form, you’ll pay £4,414 up front followed by 47 payments of £539 per month.

BMW deals

The BMW 4 Series Convertible is one of the best-driving soft-tops and the car is currently available on PCP finance with a £3,250 deposit contribution. The 420i M Sport model works out at £548 per month over four years after a deposit of £4,759.

The BMW 5 Series remains one of the best executive saloons and BMW is currently offering a PCP deal  that includes a £3,887 deposit contribution and an interest rate of 4.9% APR on the 520d in M Sport trim.

Cupra deals

The stylish Cupra Formentor is now available with a £1,500 deposit contribution and a relatively low rate of interest, meaning the popular entry-level V1 model comes in at just £258 per month.

Dacia deals

The Dacia Duster, Stepway and Sandero Stepway are currently available with two free services when you take out the brand’s PCP finance. You can now buy the Comfort model with the 89bhp TCe 90 petrol engine for £216 per month after a deposit of the same amount.

Fiat deals

If you like the looks of the Fiat 500 but need a little more space, the Fiat 500X could be the answer; it's currently available with a deposit contribution of £1,250. The 1.0-litre Sport model is currently available for £279 per month.

Ford deals

Kia deals

The Kia Ceed is now available with a £2,250 deposit contribution on PCP finance. The two-year deal gets you the well-specced GT-Line model for £440 a month after no deposit; you can tweak the finance deal if you’d rather pay a deposit to lower your monthly payments.

Mazda deals

The Mazda MX-5 is one of Carbuyer's favourite sports cars and Mazda has made ownership even more appealing by making the excellent 129bhp SE-L model available with a £1,500 deposit contribution. If you can stump up a £4,381 deposit, you can secure monthly payments of £329 over three years.

SEAT deals

Those buyers looking for plenty of space may want to consider SEAT’s latest deal on the Tarraco SUV.

In 148bhp 1.5-litre petrol FR trim, the Tarraco comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, sat nav, rear privacy glass and cruise control.
