Significant supply chain issues in the automotive segment over the past couple of years caused by the coronavirus pandemic have meant that new car offers have been thin on the ground.
However, with signs that new car supply is steadily improving, it means that several manufacturers have restarted offering generous incentives to tempt customers. We’ve scoured the various manufacturer websites to round-up the best new car offers available today.
Please note that all prices are correct at the time of writing, but deals may be subject to change.
Ford Kuga Plug-in Hybrid
Ford has some of the best offers around, and currently has zero per cent APR promotions across a lot of its range, which is something quite rare when interest rates are so high. One of the most attractive choices is Ford’s Kuga PHEV – a particularly efficient hybrid SUV that can travel up to 39 miles on electric power.
With a £7,015 deposit, Ford is currently the Kuga PHEV for £400 a month, which is a respectable amount on a car with a near-£40,000 list price over a two-year deal. Should you decide to pay the optional final payment at the end, you won’t be penalised over a cash buyer, either.
Monthly payments: 24 x £400
Customer deposit: £7,015
Deposit contribution: £N/A
Total at end of contract: £16,615
Optional final payment: £21,990
Total paid to own the car: £38,605
Cash price: £38,605
APR: 0 per cent
Annual mileage allowance: 9,000

Vauxhall is another firm that has recently introduced zero per cent APR across its full line-up of cars, and it’s made this brand’s models even more enticing – not least the Corsa, which is Vauxhall’s most affordable car, and is now available for £175 per month.
Though the zero per cent APR offer does require a minimum 30 per cent deposit to be paid, it still makes this a relatively affordable way of getting behind the wheel of this stylish and well-equipped supermini. The deal also applies to the GS model with the well-rounded 99bhp 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
Monthly payments: 23 x £175
Customer deposit: £6,335
Deposit contribution: £N/A
Total at end of contract: £10,360
Optional final payment: £10,755
Total paid to own the car: £21.115
Cash price: £21,115
APR: 0 per cent
Annual mileage allowance: 6,000

Mini’s Electric is one of the best small EVs on the market, being great fun to drive yet retaining all the style and quality you get with any Mini Hatch. Currently, Mini is helping new-to-electric customers by throwing in a free Pod Point home charger to help make plugging in your car at home quicker and easier.
The offer includes installation, too, but for those that don’t have the capability to charge at home, Mini will offer a £750 deposit contribution instead, as seen in the representative finance offer below.
Monthly payments: 47 x £300.74
Customer deposit: £5,000
Deposit contribution: £750
Total at end of contract: £19,134.78

BMW offers some especially generous finance offers, particularly on its more expensive models – including the glamorous 8 Series Gran Coupe. Recently updated, it’s now got more in-car technology, while the exterior remains as glamorous as ever.
It’s a great executive car in its own right, but is even more attractive when you learn that BMW is offering a huge deposit contribution of £15,816.75, bringing the monthly payments to £739 per month over a four-year deal. Even with 4.9 per cent APR, this finance offer will save you almost £8,000 off the list price of an 8 Series Gran Coupe.
Monthly payments: 47 x £739
Customer deposit: £8,376.98
Deposit contribution: £15,816.75
Total at end of contract: £43,109.98
Optional final payment: £27,675.90

Last but not least is an offer that doesn’t apply to finance customers, but those paying for their car in one go – the Citroen C3 Aircross. Available through Citroen’s online store, the firm is currently offering a £1,500 saving off this crossover’s list price. It brings the starting price down from £20,745 to £19,245, which undercuts nearly all its rivals.
The C3 Aircross is a stylish and practical small crossover that would work well as a family car thanks to its spacious interior. Even entry-level C-Series Edition models still come with rear parking sensors, cruise control and a touchscreen with satellite navigation.
