Mazda MX-30 electric lease deals

Leasing a Mazda MX-30 in the UK

Can you lease a cheap electric SUV?  A question which many customers were left asking in the UK, as the last few years have been dominated by luxury SUVs, along with mid-range company cars like the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4.

Achieving the Government’s ambitious 2030 / 2035 aim for a nation of new cars in electric-only format will take tremendous work and investment from all involved. Most importantly, the personal and business contract hire market needs manufacturers like Mazda to bring cost-effective and cheaper models in a zero-emission format.

Since 2020, this Japanese manufacturer have been supplying their electrified version of the CX-30 to Europe. And what makes the MX-30 truly distinctive is the “freestyle” doors which are somewhat impressive. But the product faces tough competition from the Hyundai Kona, Vauxhall Mokka-e and Lexus UX.

Since launching the MX-30 in 2020, the brand has since amended the specification on the model moving away from the familiar SE-L Lux, Sport Lux and GT Sport into the following derivatives below:

• Prime-Line – from £28,500 this model has 18” alloys, integrate navigation with Apple CarPlay, front and rear parking aids, reversing camera, active driving display (HUD), LED headlights, air conditioning, automatic wipers, privacy glass, stop/start button, traffic sign recognition and hill start launch;
•  Exclusive-Line – from £30,500 this option adds upgraded 18” alloys, 8-way electric driver’s seat with memory and lumbar support and smart keyless entry; and
• Makoto – from nearly £34,500 this top-spec model includes Bose surround sound, power tilt and slide sunroof, heated steering wheel and front wipers with built-in de-icer.

All of the models above will be powered by the same battery – a 30 kWh lithium-ion configuration. This produces 105 kW of power (or 141hp) for 0 - 62 times of 9.7 seconds and top speeds of 87 mph. The combined range on a full charge will be around 90 miles in colder climates with around 120 miles in warmer climates.

In terms of charging speeds / times, expect the 6.6 kW AC to allow for 0 – 100% times of 5 hours and 30 mins with the 37 kW DC rapid charge making way for 40 minute 10 – 80%. Unfortunately, this makes the MX-30 one of the slowest charging EVs to lease in the UK.

But can you have a no deposit leasing deal on the Mazda SUV?  Many customers, particularly those looking to create or join a salary sacrifice scheme, will ask about the no deposit leasing schemes for an electric vehicle. As a credit broker, not a lender or dealership, we work alongside a number of key finance partners who can offer a flexible number of products and arrangements for your needs and requirements. With contract hire, the initial rental is flexible (so long as you or the business have a positive credit history) and you can elect to use a no-deposit option on our website by selecting “1” on our instant quote calculator.

What this means is that the amount you pay in month 1 will be the same throughout the contract; you do not pay a large initial rental or deposit as part of this. Contract hire is not interest bearing in the same way as PCP or Hire Purchase, so there is little incentive to make big initial rentals other than for situations of using up funds as part of a corporation tax reduction.
