Black Friday is coming. Christmas is around the corner. And your bank account is starting to sweat. But a new car feels like the right move, doesn’t it?
You know how it goes: shiny new paintwork, a crisp, clean interior, (not a crumb in sight), and that unmistakable new-car smell. The sort of smell that air fresheners can only dream of recreating.
That being said, we’ve selected three of the best car release deals you’ll find this November.
1. Nissan Micra Engage
The Micra is back, but forget everything you remember about the old one. Gone is the little runaround that looked right at home outside the garden centre. This one had a serious glow-up. It's fully electric, has a much sharper look and is ready to leave the hairdresser stereotypes firmly in the rear-view mirror.
A familiar name, then, but with rather less time spent at the petrol station.

2. Changan Deepal S05 Max
This is how it usually goes: get a family, buy a people carrier, wave goodbye to your personality. Well, the Changan Deepal S05 Max clearly hasn't read that memo. Less "I've got the kids' packed lunches" and more "I am Vin Diesel". Even if you do have to be home by 7.

BYD TI 7 Excellence
If the Micra is the cool comeback kid and the Deepal is the rebellious one, the BYD TI 7 Excellence is the one who somehow manages to have it all figured out. Stylish, capable and rather well equipped, it's got the family-friendly credentials without looking like you've officially given up on having nice things. Think less sensible dad at the supermarket, more David Beckham doing the school run.
