10 great new car deals
Here are 10 of the best deals on new cars for the 25-plate change.
Audi A6 Avant
The Audi A6 Avant is proof that you don’t need an SUV to ferry the family around in comfort. It’s a fabulous long-distance cruiser, you get loads of tech and it’s got a huge boot. It may not be as fun to drive as a BMW 5 Series, but you can save more than £16,700 on an A6 through Carwow.
MG ZS EV
Looking for an electric SUV which won’t break the bank? Well, you can save up to £14,700 on a new MG ZS EV when you buy through Carwow. It won’t win any desirability contests, but when you get this much space and tech for the same price as a small hatchback, it becomes a very tempting proposition.
Hyundai Santa Fe
You can save nearly £7,000 on Carwow’s reigning Car Of The Year. The Hyundai Santa Fe is simply the best SUV you can buy. It’s hugely spacious, comfortable, loaded with tech and it has a lovely cabin. A diesel engine option would be nice, but the hybrids on offer are also very economical.
Nissan Qashqai
The Nissan Qashqai is the go-to SUV for a lot of families, and for good reason. It’s practical, comfortable and well-equipped, and it’s great value for money. This is especially true if you buy through Carwow because you can save up to £7,000.
Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback
If you’re looking for a stylish and premium electric car, the Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback is worth a look. The sporty, sloping roofline helps it stand out, although it does rob you of a bit of rear headroom. Still, it’s very comfy on the move and you can save a whopping £13,800 on one through Carwow.
BMW X5
Luxury SUVs don’t get much better than the BMW X5. This family hauler has a fantastic interior, a great range of engines and it’s good fun to drive. It is on the pricey side, but you can save a massive £14,000 on one through Carwow to soften the blow.
Citroen e-C3
You don’t need to spend a fortune to get behind the wheel of an electric car, because the Citroen e-C3 is a proper bargain. You can save more than £2,000 on this funky hatchback in the Carwow spring sale.
Skoda Enyaq
The Skoda Enyaq is a great electric SUV. It’s hugely practical, comfortable to drive and packed with tech, although the infotainment system is a bit fiddly to use. Grab your Enyaq through Carwow and you can save over £9,000.
Vauxhall Corsa
If you’re looking for a small car which is still comfortable and well-equipped, check out the Vauxhall Corsa. You can save almost £4,000 on this car in the Carwow Spring Sale, making it fantastic value for money.
BMW i4
The looks of this car may not be to everyone’s taste, but this fully-electric gran coupe delivers great performance and has snazzy infotainment. But if it is to your taste, you can save up to £8,000 through Carwow.
10 fab car leasing deals
Here are 10 of the best deals for leasing cars.
Vauxhall Grandland
This family SUV is practical and comfortable to drive, even though it’s not all that quick. That being said, you can lease this car for £165.92 a month on Carwow for two years if you pay £2,291.03 upfront.
Volkswagen ID7 Tourer
Fancy an EV with long range and gives you a relaxing motorway experience? The Volkswagen ID7 Tourer has plenty of space and posh interior – just don’t expect a very exciting drive. You can get this for £274.42 a month on a two-year lease if you initially pay £3,591.84.
Skoda Kodiaq
With roomy and clever interior, the Skoda Kodiaq boasts a huge boot and has earned a Highly Commended award in the Family Values category of the 2025 Carwow Car of the Year Awards. You can lease this car for two years for £233.89 a month when you pay £3,106.67.
Peugeot 408
The Peugeot 408 looks like nothing else on the road, and it has a lovely interior. Right now, you can lease this car for £210.31 for two years when you pay £2,822.74 upfront. But it may not be one for you if you find road noise irritating.
Tesla Model Y
Yet another SUV, the Tesla model Y is roomy with great range between charges. Unfortunately it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, but the standard infotainment system is still easy to use. The car can currently be leased for two years at £348.91 a month when you initially pay £4,186.92.
Renault Symbioz
If you’re on the hunt for some extra boot space, the Renault Symbioz is one to add to your wish list. It’s got a great Google-based infotainment system as well, however the hybrid engine is a bit noisy. You can lease this through Carwow from £186.50 a month for two years when you pay £2,532 up front.
Mini Cooper
Highly commended in the the Urban Living Award category of the 2025 Carwow Car of the Year Awards, you can lease a Mini Cooper for £210.27 a month for two years when you initially pay £2,763.24 through Carwow. This hatchback is fun to drive and affordable for a basic model if you don’t mind the lack of boot space.
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus looks great and is great fun to drive, and it was recently given a big tech makeover inside. There’s not much choice in terms of engine though. But you can lease one for £221.63 a month for four years when you pay £2,959.55 upfront.
SEAT Ibiza
Want something stylish with loads of boot space which is also fun to drive? The SEAT Ibiza could be a winner if you’re not too precious about having a silent engine. If you only want this on a three year lease, you can get this hatchback for £170.91 a month when you pay £2,350.91 upfront.
Mazda 3
If you’re looking for a car with a great infotainment system and a well-made interior, this hatchback should be on your radar. It’s not the most spacious in the rear, but it’s great value for money through Carwow. You can lease this car for two years for £177.52 a month when you pay £2,430.20 upfront.
5 great deals on used cars
Many buyers of 25-plate cars will be looking to sell their current car to finance their deal. This means if you are looking for a bargain on a used car there are good deals to be had here too. Here are 5 great ones.
Honda Civic
The Honda Civic may not be a gamechanger in terms of design, but it’s great to drive and is highly efficient. While you can get a new one starting from £35,005, you can save over £3,700 on a secondhand 2025 model through Carwow.
Hyundai i10
If you’re in the market for a city car with a surprisingly spacious interior, you should add the Hyundai i10 to your list. It drives well, but steer clear of one with an automatic gearbox as it’s slow to shift. This small gem starts at £15,880, but you can save over £4,300 on a 71-plate model.
Tesla Model 3
Looking for an affordable electric family car? You can buy a brand new Tesla model 3 for £39,990, but through Carwow you can save over a whopping £9,200 on a used one. This saloon should be at the top of your shopping list. But it’s best to avoid it if you’re not a fan of using screens for everything.
Volvo EX30
The Volvo EX30 is a former Carwow Car Of The Year winner, and it has a really cool interior and great assistance tech, but beware of the small boot. A top-spec Ultra model starts from £43,350, but you can save up to £4,670 on a second-hand one.
Vauxhall Astra
The Vauxhall Astra is a good family hatchback that has a great boot and looks quite snazzy, although it’s short on rear seat space. The starting price for these new ones is £24,845, but you can save over £4,300 on a second-hand one.
