Which electric cars are available for leasing under €300/month?

For a compact car with sufficient range under 300 euros per month, leasing may be the best way to drive electric in 2023. Here’s the Mobiwisy selection.

In addition to our comprehensive catalog of electric car purchase prices, we have taken the initiative to list leasing rates. However, they are often temporary and subject to changing conditions from one model to another. Following our first selection under 200 € per month, here is a list of electric cars available for less than 300 € per month: a high-range city car, two compacts, and even two compact SUVs.

*excluding a €5,000 bonus, or €7,000 under income conditions.

MG4: the lively Chinese model in leasing from €249/month

One of the stars of 2022, this electric compact from China has stepped into the shoes of the Nissan Leaf, but especially the Renault Mégane and Volkswagen ID.3. The MG4 offers a less modern but well-equipped design at unbeatable prices, dropping to €249 per month in lease. This entry-level rate applies to the Standard variant with the 51 kWh battery providing 350 km of range.

Nissan Leaf: the compact starting at €259/month

A pioneer of modern electric cars in France (since 2010), the Nissan LEAF surpassed the second generation at the end of 2017. No longer as distinctive, it still offers a complete range of finishes and two batteries, along with reasonably affordable prices. Here in leasing, the Japanese car starts at €259/month with a typical 37-month, 30,000 km contract. The down payment is also standard, €10,000, so €5,000 after bonus. This price includes the base model, the Acenta, with the smaller 40 kWh battery offering 270 km of range.

Renault ZOE: the city car in leasing from €260/month

It was the electric star of the French automotive market for many years, and it still exists! Modernized in 2019 with a new battery approaching 400 km of range, the Renault ZOE remains a great deal despite a significant price increase. However, the brand is currently offering at €260/month on a 37-month contract, for the entry-level 110-horsepower version. Be aware of the down payment, which totals €12,000, or €7,000 after bonus, not €5,500 as Renault’s calculation mistake suggests, as they deduct the scrappage bonus incorrectly.

Peugeot e-2008: the French SUV in leasing from €260/month

Celebrating its third year this year, possibly with a new version. Indeed, it might inherit the 156 hp engine and the 54 kWh battery already used by the Jeep Avenger and DS3 E-Tense. Meanwhile, the Peugeot e-2008 still offers 337 km of range in the basic Active Pack version, available now at €260/month. The offer is valid for a 4-year or 48-month contract, with a down payment of €10,900 (or €5,900 after bonus).

Mazda MX-30: the original Japanese crossover in leasing from €289/month

Launched in 2020, the Mazda MX-30 is a quite atypical proposal. While it features a crossover body, its doors are of the opposite opening type, smaller at the rear to increase interior access. But mainly, its price is quite accessible, comparable to a compact or city car, at €289/month in leasing. However, a 49-month contract is required to enjoy it, and a deposit of over €10,000 excluding bonus (maximum €5,100 after bonus). While tempting, this rate is also due to the small 35 kWh battery, which only allows for 200 km. So, do not expect long trips with this model.
