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

Save over £10,300 on a Cupra Born*

The Cupra Born is quick enough for darting through city traffic and overtaking. It also has tidy handling thanks to its lowered sports suspension and precise steering, though the brakes feel a bit lifeless.

The regular model isn’t quite the fun-loving electric hot hatch its looks suggest, but the VZ adds more power and spirited performance. That being said, comfort is strong across the range. And on the motorway, the Born settles down well, with only minor road and wind noise.

Overall, the Born is practical, spacious, easy to drive, and has plenty of range. It just falls slightly short of the excitement you might expect from a Cupra.

The Cupra Born usually starts at £35,690, but you can get it through Carwow from £27,765. This biggest saving is on the VZ First Edition model, with a staggering £10,391 off at the time of writing, which comes with a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree cameras with park assist, and blind sport monitoring.

Lease a Peugeot E-2008 from £277 per month*

The Peugeot E-2008 is a stylish small electric SUV with a 250-mile range. Its standout exterior features claw-like lights, LED rear lamps, and body-coloured grille inserts, while the interior offers a wraparound dashboard, quality materials, and a large infotainment screen.

Rear seating is tight due to a central hump, though the 435-litre boot is easy to load. Compared with alternatives, it’s less spacious but more premium and chic.

Powered by a 156hp motor, the E-2008 gives you a relaxed, comfortable driving rather than sporty performance. It excels on city streets and motorways, soaking up bumps, making it a stylish, comfortable, and practical small electric SUV.

You can lease a Peugeot E-2008 GT from £277 per month (initial payment: £2,763) on a 48-month, 8,000-mile-per-year deal. It offers 18-inch wheels, a panoramic glass roof, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a reversing camera.

Save over £10,400 on a Volkswagen ID3*

The Volkswagen ID3 is a mid-sized hatchback and the entry point to Volkswagen’s EV range. Its tall, slightly MPV-like shape, short bonnet, and big wheels make it distinctive, while the facelift improved interior quality and removed outdated rear decals.

Inside, the cabin is minimalist, with a 12.9-inch touchscreen and touch-sensitive steering wheel controls replacing most buttons. This can be fiddly, but the tall interior offers good head- and legroom, a flat floor, and plenty of glass for an airy feel. Battery and motor options range from the 240-mile ‘Pure’ up to 370 miles in the sporty, performance-focused ‘GTX’.

The Volkswagen ID3 usually starts at £30,860, but you can get it through Carwow from £27,564. This biggest saving is on the Pro S model, with £10,403 off at the time of writing, which gives you 347 miles of range, 19-inch wheels, powered memory front seats with powered lumbar support and a split-fold rear seat.

Lease a Renault 4 E-Tech from £260 per month*

The Renault 4 E-Tech has an eye-catching design that prioritises practicality. Its LED headlights resemble round lamps, while lozenge-shaped LED rear lights are divided into three sections. Inside, two digital screens manage instruments and infotainment, and a quilted dashboard adds a retro touch.

The cabin comfortably accommodates adults in the rear, and the 420-litre boot includes extra underfloor storage for charging cables. An ultra-low load height makes loading easy and even doubles as a convenient picnic seat.

Power comes from a 150hp electric motor paired with a 52kWh battery, delivering up to 250 miles of range. DC fast charging supports up to 100kW, allowing an 80% charge in roughly 30 minutes.

You can lease a Renault 4 E-Tech Evolution from £260 per month (initial payment: £2,689.45) on a 48-month, 8,000-mile-per-year deal. It offers up to 250 miles of battery range, cruise control, and a 10.1-inch central touchscreen with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

Save over £12,000 on a Vauxhall Grandland Electric*

The Vauxhall Grandland Electric is a practical electric SUV, offering a smart cabin and family-friendly features without flashy styling. While it may not turn heads compared to alternatives, it covers all the basics well, making it a good choice for everyday use.

Inside, the cabin features a layered, multi-surfaced design and a large infotainment display with crisp graphics, though it can feel a little sluggish. Space and practicality are strong points though, with useful storage throughout the cabin.

It also has a 550-litre boot. And while it’s smaller than alternatives such as the Tesla Model Y, it offers more room than the Mini Countryman Electric, making it a versatile option for families seeking a larger SUV.

The Vauxhall Grandland Electric starts at £36,955, but you can get it through Carwow from £31,646, with up to a whopping £12,067 off the Ultimate trim. This version has up to 323 miles of range, a two-tone roof, a reversing camera, and heated steering wheel and front seats.
