Best new car deals – latest deals updated: 05 August 2022

Renault is the only mainstream manufacturer offering 0% APR PCP deals at the moment, and the Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid in Techno trim is likely to be one of its most appealing models. It’s available with a £500 discount, and low monthly repayments of £214. Techo is also well equipped and stylish, coming with 17-inch diamond-cut alloys, LED lighting and a seven-inch infotainment display.

The SEAT Arona is one of our favourite small SUVs, and it’s currently available with a £1,500 deposit contribution. This helps make the initial deposit much more affordable, and monthly payments of less than £250 should also be very appealing. You’ll get the 1.0-litre TSI engine with 94bhp that’s spritely enough for urban and motorway driving. SE Technology trim is arguably the sweet spot in the range, thanks to a 9.25-inch sat nav, eight-inch instrument display, wireless phone charging and rear parking sensors.

The Volkswagen Arteon is a sleek executive car that shares much of its technology with the Volkswagen Passat, but is sure to get you noticed. It’s also hard to resist a £5,000 discount from VW, which slashes the initial deposit to just over £3,000. Spread over four years, this equates to monthly repayments of £535. The desirable R-Line trim gives the Arteon sporty, aggressive looks, backed up by a powerful 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine with 188bhp and a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox.

Audi deals

The Audi A4 is available on PCP finance and Audi is contributing £2,500 towards the cost of your deposit. For the saloon model in 35 TFSI Black Edition form, you’ll pay £5,187 up front followed by 47 payments of £439 per month.

BMW deals

The BMW 4 Series is one of the best-driving coupes and the car is currently available on PCP finance with a £1,827 deposit contribution. The 420i M Sport model works out at £499 per month over four years after a deposit of £4,532.

The BMW 5 Series remains one of the best executive saloons and BMW is currently offering a PCP deal  that includes a £3,917 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 £257 per month.

Ford deals

The practical and frugal Ford Kuga Plug-in Hybrid in ST-Line guise is now available for £425 a month over two years on PCP finance at 0% APR. A customer deposit of £6,669 gets you behind the wheel of this well-equipped and refined SUV.

The Ford Puma is available on a two-year PCP deal at 0% APR that means the ST-Line model with the 123bhp 1.0-litre EcoBoost mild hybrid engine is £280 per month.

Hyundai deals

The Hyundai i20 is a smart and well-equipped rival to the Ford Fiesta, and is currently available with a deposit contribution of £1,000. The 1.0-litre SE Connect model is currently available for £135 per month, and you can tailor the deal to suit you.

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 £445 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 £4,231 deposit, you can secure monthly payments of £349 over three years.

Peugeot deals

Peugeot is contributing between £900 and £4,450 towards the cost of a PCP finance deal for the economical and stylish 308 hatchback. After a deposit of £4,729, you'll pay just £269 per month over a course of 48 months for a 308 Active Premium with a petrol engine and automatic gearbox.

Renault deals

The practical Renault Kadjar SUV is available on PCP finance at 0% APR from Renault. The deal gets you the TCE 140 petrol model in the well-specced Techno trim, with payments of £289 a month over two years after a deposit of £5,914.

SEAT deals

Those buyers looking for plenty of space may want to consider SEAT’s latest deal on the Tarraco SUV. It means you can currently buy the car for £409 per month with a contribution of £1,500 after a deposit of £5,559. 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.
