Interested on thoughts and ideas for the next quarter. I’ll kick off with an optimistic one:
Kia Niro fully electric
- Replies
Would like electric cars to have a better range, going to our sons in London (270 miles one way) means a few stops to charge, which would take ages to get there, it’s around a five to six hour journey with our car at the moment.
Bz4x fwd vision in silver
That would be very welcome but I’m not holding my breath. Still too popular.
Audi A4. Again. Saw one in the Audi forecourt yesterday – first time I’ve noticed one – and it’s a nice looking beast.
Kona Electric 39KWh, which is the lower powered & smaller battery version.
Pity as I’d go for either the 64KWh Kona Electric or the E-Niro in an instant.
However, in April 2017 when I last changed car all the electric cars mysteriously disappeared from the scheme to prevent me from getting one, & I had to choose a diesel. No doubt the same will happen this time too as Motability seems to want to be stuck will lots of fossil engined cars in 3 years time when they no longer have any value.
Hi I understand what your saying about electric but what difference does it make to us what the vehicle is worth in three years at the end of the lease that’s one of the best things about the scheme not having to worry about depreciation
I think the point is the lower the depreciation and therefore the resale the lower the AP might be. Or that’s the theory.
For my situation I really need a real world range of 200 miles in a fairly large vehicle with electric memory seats. Hopefully not unrealistic soon.
I don’t think you are being unrealistic I just don’t just think it’s any time soon, maybe next few years.with prices of new vehicles generally increasing as consumers want more safety,and tech I think that the high APs are here to stay .i was just saying that depreciation is one thing that we don’t have to think about. And when some in the private sector if you choose the wrong car then you could pay £25 £30 thousand and in three years time be told it’s worth £6 thousand ,we are not doing so bad not perfect but not bad
Maybe the Vauxhall Grandland X hybrid will be added, seems the 2wd is 225 bhp, where as the 4wd is 300 bhp. Also the Citroen C5 Aircross Hybrid is available to buy now , so may be added at some point.
Next quarter cars I would like to see on the scheme but won’t be are –
BMW 220 Grand Coupe
BMW 3 series
BMW X2 Msport
Mercedes CLA 220d AMG Line
Audi A4 Black Edition 40 TDI or TSI
VW Allspace SEL DSG
Mini Cooper S Convertible
Totally agree elliot about the 3 Series especially the touring, it was a very close call 2 years ago between the X1 and the touring, but the Xdrive on the X1 just edged it for me.
+1 Elliot for the Allspace SEL dsg. Will get my renewal letter end of March and could tempt me away from another Touran.
both have long delivery times.
The US is Allspace only which I guess is the reason for the switch to Mexico production. Ironic that the “Spanish” Tarraco version is built in Wolfsburg alongside side the regular Tiguan and TouranHope we see a big reduction in AP for qashqai or focus as I would like to get one of them
would’ve got the r line tech but will be 6 months short of my 25 birthday ??
I’d like to see a bigger choice in specs on the cars we have.
plus a guaranteed min time cars have to stay on the scheme before being dropped.Waltersoprano – Maybe consider extending your current Lease for a year?
And then hope, as we all seem to have to hope at some point, that the vehicle you need/want is still around when your ready to Order. 🙂
your/you’re
Georgie – have considered that although no doubt it would be due a facelift by that time ?
will take a look at the Ford kuga once reviews are out
I’m hoping for the 3 series touring (petrol hybrid) and also Vauxhall Grandland hybrid and Kia Niro EV.
Any would be lovely!
Toyota GB/Motability ; if you’re reading this… please can you put the GT86 auto on the scheme!
It’s below the 200 bhp limit (just), and it’s no more expensive than the C-HR!
🙂
They don’t do the 39 kWh anymore, only the 64 and if it comes on the scheme it’d do me fine ?
Georgie – have considered that although no doubt it would be due a facelift by that time ? will take a look at the Ford kuga once reviews are out
If you type in Ford Escape PHEV into your search engine you will get road tests on the US and Australian version of the Ford Kuga, same car just called Escape.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.

ah ok thanks for letting me know
I know this is way outside of the price cap but I sat in a new Mercedes GLB and what a lovely car that was.
Elliot that’s the dream and it’s not that far from the price cap so who knows if motability manage to get a deal you never know, I’m holding it for it
I know this is a old one and wishful thinking but again Audi Q3 S Line ?
VW Polo GTi. Well within all scheme limits.

I’m absolutely with you on that one Elliot. I’d have one at the drop of a hat.
? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
