I’ve found the first one, from Hyundai. I can’t post it as it’s a pdf, but click on the ‘Price Guide’ button on the following page and you can open it

This Vauxhall dealers site is confusing, because whilst the ‘Download Full Price Guide’ still opens the current (Q4 2022) price guide, the ‘prices from’ for vehicles shown on the web page are valid for applications from 1st Jan 2023 to 31st Mar 2023, so treat with caution

From the top of my head, I know the i10, i20, and Bayon models have seen a reduction in their respective APs. The Tucson is somewhat the same, while at Vauxhall, the Astra seems to be a mixture of both increases and decreases.

That’s encouraging if some AP’s have dropped. The only one that I looked at was the top spec Tucson PHEV. I’m not sure that I could justify a £16k outlay over 3 years on a leased Hyundai, especially as I don’t like the look of it, but it had a rave review on the last episode of Top Gear (even though their ‘tests’ are more about comedy than robust vehicle reviews), so I will have to have an open mind at renewal if choice hasn’t improved. I have bought a few cars privately from our local Hyundai dealers for one of my daughters and I have to say that the dealership staff are excellent in both sales and servicing.
The Tuscon Ultimate has dropped from £2799 Q4 to £2499 Q1 2023 down £300 was £2099 29th Dec 2021
The Tuscon Premium 48V MHEV (auto) £3849 Q4 to £3549 Q1 2023 down £300 was £2749 29th Dec 2021.
The Tuscon Ultimate PHEV £5599 Q4 to £5599 Q1 223 no change
I ordered the Ultimate ICE q4 2021 as there wasn’t alot on the scheme.
This looks to be Kia price guide for Q1

Its showing the Sportage 2 reduced from £999 to £499
The GT line and 3 are back on the scheme for Q1 (Not the HEV)
Doing well Glos Guy, I’m curious to see how Nissan’s price list shapes up for Q1 ?

It seems that the Niro has been removed for the upcoming quarter.

Very encouraging, indeed.
I completely agree with you, even though the Tucson PHEV appears to be among the more cost-effective plug-in hybrids. And I love its quirky styling!
I’m glad to read that. As welcoming as the Motability salesperson was, they left me feel cold following our interaction.

It’s a great shame that the Tucson Ultimate ICE is only available as a manual, given that a large proportion of Motability customers need (or much prefer) an auto. When considering a PHEV it’s obviously essential to be able to work out how long it would take to recoup the additional AP through fuel savings compared to the non-PHEV version, which you can’t do if the comparable ICE car isn’t available!

That’s correct. Could that be down to possibly semiconductor supply issues?
The Proceed also seems to be removed, which was manual-only on the scheme.

I extended the lease (never again) on my Skoda Superb to nearly 5yrs. I noticed APs were going in the wrong direction, the choice of cars limited and the car I wanted not on the scheme. I made the hasty decision on 29th dec 21 to place an order for the Tuscon Ultimate manual petrol. I did consider the PHEV but at £3k+ more was alot of petrol – 583 gallons @£6 gallon would equate to around 23-24k miles so decided agaisn’t it.
The Tuscon is a quirky looking car I actually liked, It had every extra you could think about including leather seats. The downsides Ive never seen anywhere near the accaimed 41mpg, I’m luck to get mid to high 20s locally and not much overmid 30s on a run the majority of the time. The mild hybrid has an acclaimed 2mpg more, in real terms nothing. The same engine is in the Sportage ICE and MHEV. I did say about the shocking mpg on the Sportage forum when the HEV was removed but to no avail.
Oh and my knee/leg doesn’t thank me for it, with the hospital advising me to go auto. Looking for aearly termination,, but, theres nothing on the scheme or with what I class are essentials for us, without paying stupid AP’s which I won’t do for a car thats I will have for 3yrs and not mine at the end. It may end in me moving away from scheme untill/if things return to normal.
As @Macca I’m eagerly awaiting the Nissan price list, with particular interest in the X Trail e-force Tecna trim blessing the scheme at a reasonable AP. I do not hold any hopes though!
The moral of the story is be wary of the Tuscon/Sportage economy claims and as the saying goes:
Audi A3 AP’s look to be down 1k across the board for Q1 2023 based on the glimpse i had earlier £1999 for the manual up to £2899 for the sline auto.
Some of the Nissan AP’s also seemed to be down (again quick glimpse) The Qashqai e-power in the Tekna trim has been added (£3199)
Based on other users posts in this thread it looks like AP’s coming down may be the trend for Q1.

Where have you seen this if you don’t mind. Just looked on Nissans site and its still showing q4 prices and no mention of the Qashqui Tecna trim e-power.
Sorry, Hyundai already listed, slow brain day!!
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
Hyundai are up on the Motorclarity site, https://www.motaclarity.co.uk/news/latest-motability-price-guide
They are lagging behind whichmobilitycar, as we had them 24 hours ago (see first post in this thread) ?
Whilst not the full price list, this Northern Ireland Skoda dealer says that their prices are from 1st Jan 2023
Some of them Skoda AP’s are very good. Skoda Kamiq auto nill AP! Are we seeing AP’s coming down due to the cost of living crisis?
Enyaq EV
Are we seeing AP’s coming down due to the cost of living crisis?
Possibly indirectly, if private sales start to ease. I’ve no idea if that’s happening though. The AP’s over the last 12-18 months have been absolutely ludicrous, so I guess a correction has to start happening at some point, especially if people refuse to pay them. For as long as people are prepared to pay them, there will be no incentive for Motability and manufacturers to lower them. With the energy bills that we are all facing over the winter, I can’t imagine that many people have money to burn. Our combined gas and electric bill for this month alone has been £653. Makes you stop and think ?
That Kamiq AP might tempt me to cancel my Astra order which i’ve still not heard anything about 7 months on.

As a organisation set up for the disabled, I would presume that if the driver is disabled they would need/prefer an automatic.
Yet the lack of such vehicles is of an organisation that is not doing what it should be.

Quite right
possibly semiconductor supply issues?
This is certainly the reason given in Kia’s case .. automatics widely available overseas though
