25 plate: The newest cars for the newest registration
With the arrival of the 25-plate registration in March, perhaps you want a car that’s just as fresh as the registration. A raft of new models are coming to the UK in 2025, and some are available to order right now.
Whether you're looking for an all-electric city car, a cutting-edge SUV, or something in between, there are plenty of exciting new options to consider.
Here’s our picks of some of the most anticipated models arriving in time for the new plate change.
Renault 5
The iconic Renault 5 has been reborn, and combines retro charm with modern technology. It also happens to be the first car with an optional baguette holder. Well, it is French, after all.
The retro touches don’t just adorn the outside. The dashboard has been given a quilted look – just like the vinyl panelling on the original version.
From launch it’ll be available with either a 40kWh or 52kWh battery pack, with the larger option offering close to 250 miles of range. All in all, it’s sure to attract attention from customers looking to stand out with a 25 plate. Read more about the new Renault 5….
Jaecoo 7
A brand you might not be familiar with yet, Jaecoo is set to make a splash in the UK market with the Jaecoo 7. This rugged and stylish SUV combines premium features with competitive pricing, making it a serious alternative to more established brands.
With a hybrid powertrain, advanced infotainment, and plenty of tech as standard, the Jaecoo 7 is an exciting addition to the 25-plate line-up on Leasing.com.
Citroen E-C3
The Citroen C3 has always been a go-to choice for those after a frugal, affordable hatchback. But the latest iteration now takes the form of a compact crossover. With its bold styling, impressive interior space, and advanced safety features, the all-new model is set to continue this trend.
It’ll be available in petrol, hybrid and EV guise eventually, but if you fancy an all-electric E-C3 on a 25 plate, hit the button below.
Hyundai Inster
Hyundai is expanding its electric line-up with the all-new Inster. This compact EV is designed for city life, offering a small footprint but a surprisingly roomy interior.
With an estimated range of over 200 miles and a tech-filled cabin, the Inster will appeal to drivers who want a practical, affordable, and futuristic urban car. Expect Hyundai’s latest connectivity features and a design that stands out from the crowd.
Cupra Terramar
And now for a car you can actually already order: the Cupra Terrarmar. This fantastic looking SUV gets an impressive plug-in hybrid option, fresh styling and an improved infotainment system. You can consider this the slightly more practical version of the Tavascan SUV coupe.
Unlike the Tavascan, the Terramar has a more traditional SUV shape, with a large boot area at the rear. If it’s anything like the Formentor, this could prove to be a seriously popular lease car. Read more about it here, or click on the button below to compare deals now.
