Tesla Lease Deals

Tesla sells electric cars and nothing else. That single-minded approach is why the brand keeps turning up on shortlists that used to belong to established German saloons and family SUVs.

The current Tesla line-up we can lease is deliberately narrow: two models, one SUV and one saloon, both fully electric. Fewer versions and fewer options lists to choose between.

Choosing between them is mostly about shape and space. The Model Y is the SUV, available with five or seven seats and rated to tow a braked trailer of up to 1,600 kg, while the Model 3 is the shorter saloon.

About Tesla

Tesla makes electric cars exclusively. Every model we price is electric, every one carries a 4-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty, and the whole line-up sits within a narrow size band from 4.72 m to 4.80 m long.

Reviewers consistently credit the brand with three things: software that feels a generation ahead of most rivals, real-world efficiency that holds up on a long motorway run, and a rapid-charging network that drivers rate highly for reliability year after year.

The criticisms are just as consistent. The minimalist interior, with almost everything routed through the central screen, splits opinion, and ride comfort can feel firm on poor British surfaces. Both cars hold a 5-star Euro NCAP rating.

The Tesla range we lease

Two models, in two body styles. The Model Y is the electric SUV with five or seven seats, and the Model 3 is the electric saloon with five seats and a 594-litre boot. Each has three trims to choose from.

SUV

The Tesla Model Y is the family choice and the one to have if you tow. It seats five or seven, measures about 4.79 m long, tows a braked trailer of up to 1,600 kg, and holds a 5-star Euro NCAP rating across three trims. Deals start from £491.29 a month.

Saloon

The Tesla Model 3 is the lower, shorter option at 4.72 m, which makes it the easier one to place in a tight multi-storey. Five seats, a 594-litre boot, braked towing up to 1,000 kg, a 5-star Euro NCAP rating and three trims. Deals start from £460.73 a month.

Electric and hybrid Tesla models

There are no hybrids here. Both models we price - the Model Y and the Model 3 - are fully electric, so a driver moving away from petrol or diesel has no halfway option to consider, only a choice of body style.

That matters more than it sounds. Because Tesla has never had to adapt a petrol platform, the packaging works in the driver's favour: the Model Y gives you five or seven seats in a 4.79 m SUV, and the Model 3 offers a 594-litre boot in a 4.72 m saloon.

Both come with the same 4-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty. If you're new to electric driving, our electric car guide covers charging, jargon and what changes day to day.

Why lease a Tesla?

Leasing is contract hire: you pay an initial rental, then fixed monthly rentals for an agreed term and mileage, and hand the car back at the end. With a Tesla, the 4-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty covers most typical lease terms outright.

Because both models are electric, there's no oil, no clutch and no exhaust to worry about, and servicing demands are lighter than on a comparable petrol car. Road tax is included for the duration of your agreement, and maintenance can be added if you'd rather budget for tyres and servicing monthly.

What we bring is over 25 years of arranging leases - matching the right term and mileage to how you actually drive, not how the brochure imagines you do.

Which Tesla should you choose?

Start with what you need the car to do. Both are electric, both are 5-star Euro NCAP rated, and both carry the same 4-year / 60,000-mile warranty - so the decision comes down to seats, boot shape, parking and towing.

Smallest and easiest to park: the Model 3, at 4.72 m. It's the shorter of the two and sits lower, which helps in town.

The family choice: the Model Y. It's the SUV of the pair, and the only one offered with seven seats if you need the third row for school runs or grandparents.

The one that tows: the Model Y again, rated up to 1,600 kg braked. The Model 3 will pull a braked trailer of up to 1,000 kg, which is enough for a small caravan or a single-axle trailer.

The boot question: the Model 3 gives you 594 litres behind the rear seats. The Model Y counters with a tailgate and up to seven seats instead.

And if you simply want an electric car? Either. Both are, and if you want help pinning down term and mileage, read our guide to choosing your car.
