Say no to novelty socks. This December demand for more. Demand for four wheels! Unwrap your own key in front of the entire family, then smugly skip outside to your new motor sitting on your drive with an unnecessary sized bow on it.
We’d recommend one of these car lease deals:
1. Volkswagen T‑Roc 1.5 TSI Black Edition Plus
Fear not. With glossy metallic paint, 19-inch alloys, and a front grille that wasn’t purchased in Turkey, this compact SUV will have Santa’s sleigh purring with 150 turbocharged horses (or reindeers) ready to outrun winter traffic.
PCH: From less than £250 inc. VAT per month, depending on term and miles. In-stock, pre-reg & metallic paint included.
Why we’d put it on our Christmas list:
-
Engine & Performance: The 1.5 litre TSI petrol engine produces 150 BHP and 250 Nm of torque. It does 0–62 mph in around 8.4 seconds with a top speed of 129 mp.
-
Practical Boot Space: With 445 litres of luggage capacity (seats up), the T‑Roc has plenty of room for Christmas presents, or even a small tree!
-
Premium Styling & Alloys: The Black Edition Plus comes with 19" ‘Misano’ alloys, glossy black roof rails, and design accents that give it a slightly aggressive, premium look.
-
Modern Comfort & Convenience: Keyless entry, electric tailgate, parking sensors, and clever interior storage make everyday life easier.
-
Fuel Efficiency: It delivers around 44–45 mpg combined (WLTP) and ~143–144 g/km CO₂, making it a sensible choice for daily driving as well as road trips.
2. Peugeot 3008 1.2 Hybrid 145 Allure
The Peugeot 3008 is a proper SUV, with a cabin spacious enough to host a prime Santa after three thousand mince pies. Strap the sleigh to the roof rails, and remind the elves it’s a hybrid - just like they are.
PCH: From less than £250 inc. VAT per month, depending on term and miles. In-stock, pre-reg & metallic paint included.
Why we’d slot it in the stocking:
- Engine & Performance: The 1.2 litre turbocharged hybrid engine produces 145 PS (≈143 BHP) and around 230 Nm of torque. It hits 0–62 mph in roughly 10 seconds with a top speed of 125 mph.
- Practical Boot Space: With 588 litres of luggage capacity behind the rear seats, the 3008 is big enough to swallow your load.
- Hybrid Efficiency: It charges itself on the move, letting you achieve around 52 mpg without ever touching a plug.
-
Size & Practicality: Measuring 4,542 mm long, 1,895 mm wide, and 1,641 mm tall, it’s big enough to feel like an SUV, but compact enough to prevent parking anxiety.
-
Premium Styling & Allure Trim: LED lights, alloy wheels, privacy glass, and a cabin that looks more expensive than your in‑laws think it is. Infotainment, clever storage, and just enough buttons to make you feel like you know what each one does.
3. Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI SE L Edition DSG
Once the automotive equivalent of a festive mug from the petrol station - functional, but forgettable, and destined to be unused, the Skoda brand has clawed its way out of the “meh” pile and into “oooh” pile.
PCH: From less than £270 inc. VAT per month, depending on term and miles. Metallic paint included.
Why it’s in our sack:
-
Engine & Performance: 1.5 litre TSI petrol engine putting out 150 BHP and 250 Nm torque. It does 0–62 mph in ~9 seconds, with a top speed of around 130 mph.
-
Boot & Load Space: 521 litres of boot space (with seats up) - enough room for all the Xmas booze. Fold seats down and you’re looking at up to 1,630 litres of fillable space.
-
Fuel Economy & Practicality: WLTP‑rated combined fuel economy around 44.8–47.1 mpg depending on conditions. A 50.8 litre fuel tank, so you’re not constantly stopping for fuel
-
Size & Everyday Usability: Length ~ 4390 mm, width ~ 1841 mm (mirrors in ~2025 mm), height ~ 1603 mm. Friendly turning circle (~10.2 m) and manageable footprint.
- Kit & Comfort: 5‑seater comfort, handy storage cubbies, rear‑seat flexibility, boot hooks, and a clean, practical interior that doesn’t feel like a plastic toy. Auto gearbox (DSG), sensible alloys, solid build quality.
Why December Car Leasing Is Actually Smarter Than Christmas Shopping
-
Order from your armchair: Forget trudging through over-crowded shopping centres, elbowing strangers for last-minute tat. The Karoq can be ordered online while you’re still in your slippers, coffee in hand, avoiding the chaos entirely. Click, lease, go!
-
Instant hero status: Gift someone a car and you've won Christmas. It automatically trumps anybody else's efforts - even those 'thoughtful’ people.
-
Ready to go: Unlike toys and gadgets, the Karoq is ready the moment it arrives. No assembly required, no batteries to charge, no “reading 400-page instructions” moments like with Lego set.
