Five great car deals to snap up this February

Now that January – the month many of you probably found to be a bit of a drag – is behind us, it’s time to embrace a fresh start. February could be the perfect time to get a new set of wheels. From tempting lease offers to big savings on brand-new and used models, here are five great deals available through Carwow this month.

Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can lease a car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

Save over £6,500 on a new Hyundai Kona Electric*

Say hello to the latest model eligible for the electric car grant, and one that may be of interest if you’re looking to buy through Carwow this month. The Hyundai Kona Electric is a spacious family SUV that’s ideal if you want to make the switch to all-electric motoring in a car that isn’t too in-your-face.

It’s not the most engaging car to drive on a twisty road and its safety assistance systems can feel a little intrusive, but the Kona Electric is comfortable over bumps, quiet and refined on the motorway, and features intuitive infotainment helped by a welcome bank of physical buttons.

The Hyundai Kona Electric usually starts at £32,400, but you can get one through Carwow from £29,053. The biggest saving is on the Ultimate version, which has £6,520 off at the time of writing. This is a great deal because it gives you a range of up to 282 miles and comes with the following features:

• Electrically-adjustable and heated front seats
• Heated outer rear seats
• Leather trim
• Head-up display
• Electrically-powered tilt and slide sunroof

Treat yourself to a used Volkswagen Golf GTI for less than £20,000*

News editor Jamie Edkins recently tested the new Volkswagen Golf GTI 50, which celebrates half a century of this iconic hot hatch. And while this version costs a whopping £50,000, it’s worth considering an older Golf GTI if you’re after a hot hatch that’s just as practical and quick.

Earlier versions of the eighth-generation Golf GTI are still a sensible family car with space for four people, a well-built interior, a decent-sized boot and enough performance to worry sports cars. They aren’t as quick as the 310hp Golf R, but without the heavier four-wheel drive system, the GTI feels nimbler in corners. While it’s not as hardcore as alternatives such as the Ford Focus ST, its more comfortable suspension and quieter cabin make it easier to live with day to day.

A brand-new Volkswagen Golf GTI usually starts at £41,810, but you can buy a used one through Carwow for more than half the price. For instance, this used example from 2020 gives you a 246hp 2.0-litre petrol engine and has 46,464 miles on the clock, all for £19,773. I think this is a great deal because you get the following features:

• Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
• Cruise control
• Heated seats
• Parking sensors
• Touchscreen infotainment

Lease a Chery Tiggo 7 from £185 per month*

My pick for a leasing deal this month is the Tiggo 7, a spacious, well-equipped family SUV that delivers a surprisingly premium interior for its price. It’s especially appealing if you value a roomy cabin and lots of standard features, offering excellent comfort and practicality without breaking the bank.

The powertrain options make it even more compelling, particularly the plug-in hybrid, which is smooth, quiet, and cost-effective to run, even without frequent charging. While it’s not designed for sharp handling or sporty driving, its relaxed motorway manners, low running costs, and overall value make the Tiggo 7 a sensible and attractive alternative to more familiar family SUVs.

You can lease an Aspire version of the Chery Tiggo 7 from £184.95 per month (initial payment: £2,569.39) on a 24-month, 5,000-mile-per-year deal through Carwow. This version comes with a 147hp 1.6-litre petrol engine, a five-star safety rating , and the following features:

• 18-inch wheels
• Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
• Cruise control
• Leather seats
• 484 litres of boot space

Fancy over £5,000 off a new Renault 5 E-Tech?*

My other pick for a new car deal is an EV with retro styling done right. If you’re after something with old-school looks, the new Renault 5 hits all the nostalgia notes without feeling like a parody of the classic model.

It’s great to drive, whether you’re nipping around town or heading further afield with over 250 miles of electric range. It’s no wonder this car won the Urban Living Award at Carwow’s Car of the Year Awards 2026. However, it is a bit cramped inside, so don’t expect much room if you want a small car with extra space.

The Renault 5 E-Tech usually starts at £22,995, but you can get one through Carwow from £20,761. The biggest saving is on the higher-specced Iconic Five version, which has £5,061 off at the time of writing. This is a great deal because this version comes with a 120hp electric motor, a battery range of up to 190 miles, and features such as:

• Ambient light with backlit ‘Renault 5’ dashboard
• Rear cross traffic alert
• Frameless electrochromic rear view mirror
• Illuminated ‘5’ charging indicator
• Heated front seats and steering wheel

Pay less than £12,000 for a used Volvo V60*

Managing editor Darren Cassey is currently driving the new Volvo V60 to see how it fits into family life. If you’re in the market for a family car that isn’t an SUV and don’t mind something a little older, the Volvo V60 is worth a look.

The second-generation V60 looks smart, comes well-equipped, and is built to a high standard. It has a five-star safety rating and was among the first to offer automatic emergency braking as standard – perfect for a safe estate car. Opt for a 2.0-litre D4 diesel if you can; it’s quick, economical, and comfortable. Rough roads can unsettle it, but most of the time it glides along smoothly.

A brand-new Volvo V60 usually starts at £45,190, but you can buy a used one through Carwow from less than £12,000. For instance, this used example from 2016 gives you a 150hp 2.0-litre diesel engine and has 40,793 miles on the clock, all for £11,450. I think this is a good deal because you get the following features:

• Cruise control
• Leather seats
• 557 litres of boot space
• Parking sensors
• Diesel particulate filter
