Cars available on the Motability Scheme with low or no Advance Payment

The Motability Scheme is a great way to lease a safe, reliable and practical new car. The all-inclusive package covers all the major costs in motoring. Your worry-free lease includes car insurance, servicing and routine repairs. It also includes breakdown cover and car tax. It is the cheapest way to drive a new car in the UK.  

The cars I have chosen here are even more affordable. All of them are available for no Advance Payment. Most of them cost less than your weekly allowance. They all have five doors and plenty of standard features. My picks include fuel-efficient petrol engines and cheap-to-run electric cars.  

When you lease an electric car on the Scheme for the first time, you get a home charger and standard installation. This can mean you start each day with a full battery and hundreds of miles of range. If you don’t have a driveway, you will get a flexible bp pulse subscription instead. All Scheme customers also get a free Motability Go Charge card. This gives access to more than 50,000 public electric car chargers.  

There are continuing challenges in the new car market. This means the availability of cars on the Scheme is changing as a result. However, of the almost 1,000 new cars available on the Scheme this quarter, my six choices here show there is still plenty of choice for no Advance Payment. Read on to be inspired about what could be your next new car! 

The Dacia Spring is a compact car that’s easy to drive and hassle-free to park. Despite this, it still has five-door practicality. The two rear seats are roomy and the large 308-litre boot can take easily take two suitcases. In the cabin, there are lots of useful storage spaces. A 10.0-inch multimedia screen is standard on this Extreme version too.  

The Dacia Spring has a 27kWh battery that can easily be charged at home. With a full charge, it has a range of around 140 miles. That is perfect for this city-focused machine. Dacia says the battery is big enough to cover six days of average city driving. It also has the luxurious refinement of all silent-running electric cars, too.  

This Hyundai i10 has a fuel-sipping 1.0-litre petrol engine. It can average over 53mpg. The automatic gearbox means you don’t have to worry about using a clutch pedal and gearstick. It is a roomy small car, with a 252-litre boot. This expands to over 1,000 litres with the rear seats folded.  

Convenience features include air conditioning, electric windows, electric door mirrors and touchscreen sat nav. The Hyundai i10 also has a good driving position and it’s easy to see out of. As it measures less than 3.7 metres long, it is easy to park. It even comes with a rear-view camera.  

The Fiat 500e is a very pretty car. It is available in sparkling metallic colours. A stylish interior means it’s equally welcoming inside. It is well equipped as well. Features include a fully-connected touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  

Because it is a light and efficient car, the Fiat 500e will be cheap to run. You will save lots of money if you are able to charge at home. At a public rapid charger, it can add 31 miles of range in as little as five minutes. For a car available on the Scheme for no Advance Payment, this is impressive.   

The Toyota Aygo X has a raised ride height and tough-looking side body cladding. This makes it perfect for city centre driving. It has great visibility and the ability to shrug off scrapes. The higher suspension means it’s easier to get in and out of.  

This Toyota Aygo X Edge has a 1.0-litre petrol engine. It has excellent economy of nearly 59mpg. The five-speed manual gearbox and clutch are light and easy to use. All the controls are straightforward. The large colour touchscreen has both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.  

The Mazda 2’s hybrid engine doesn’t need to be plugged in, but still delivers a good amount of all-electric driving. This cuts emissions and helps save fuel. It is a great stepping stone into a full electric car. The clever engine is also really refined when it is running in electric mode.  

The hybrid system is fully automatic, which makes it a simple and easy car to drive. Compact dimensions mean it is easy to park. The well-equipped interior has straightforward controls. There’s also a large 9.0-inch touchscreen that connects to your phone without the need for cables.  

The Vauxhall Corsa I’ve chosen here has a punchy 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. It also has a high-tech eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard. This gives a large luxury car feel in a small and easy-to-drive car.  

The generous spec of this Ultimate version adds to the big car vibes. It has a remarkable number of features as standard. These include Matrix LED headlights, heated seats and steering wheel, wireless mobile phone charger and plush part-Alcantara seat upholstery. There’s an electronic parking brake, electronic climate control and even an automatic anti-dazzle rear-view mirror.
