Best cars for less than £300 per month

We'll let you into a little secret. Premium brands that hold their value well are surprisingly affordable to lease. That's because a large element of the monthly price you pay is down to how much the car loses in value over the course of the contract.

With this in mind, you might be surprised at the level of luxury and ability that you can snap up for under £300 a month.

Volvo XC40

The all-new XC40 is Volvo’s take on the premium crossover and is aimed squarely at the like of Jaguar’s E-Pace and the new BMW X2. If its recent critical acclaim is anything to go by however, it might just be the best out of the three.

It features everything we’ve come to expect from the sub-cool Swedish brand: elegant style, class-leading safety systems and a premium cabin.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

It seems we can’t do a listicle without mentioning this car, but it’s the Mercedes-Benz C-Class that’d be our firm favourite on a £300/month budget and, courtesy of a recent refresh, we reckon it’ll remain one of the most popular cars on our site for quite a while yet.

It’s hard to think of more car you can get for your money – it’s got the desirable badge, fantastic handling, and a classy, premium interior. The only thing we think may be able to outshine it is the smaller, even more affordable, tech-filled Mercedes A-Class, which is the most popular lease car this year. Full stop.

Volkswagen Arteon

Volkswagen refer to the Arteon as an avant-garde gran turismo. Not only is it their flagship model but the muscular and arty design means this car is equal parts beauty and the beast, offering a hushed refinement when cruising which can be offset by sporty aggression at the push of the peddle.

The Volkswagen Arteon effortlessly combines muscular styling with luxury motoring making it the ideal fastback.
