The Best Compact Electric Cars
Want a compact electric car? These are some of the best small electric car options available today!
Electric cars come in all shapes and sizes these days, but one of the best options - particularly for those tight on space - is a compact model. These are ideal for city or urban users, but still come with that all-important electric powertrain.
Plus, they’re sometimes the most efficient EVs on the market but, thanks to smaller batteries, take less time to charge. They’re lighter, too. Here, we’ve picked out some of the best compact EVs for you to consider if you want to make the switch.
Peugeot e-208
Peugeot’s compact e-208 has taken the market by storm, delivering a funky exterior design and an equally attractive interior in a car which delivers far more range than you might expect. In fact, it’ll bring up to 225 miles from a charge, which is more than enough for ‘everyday’ drives.
It’s also got loads of standard equipment and a cleverly packaged cabin which has a lot more space than you’d think. Click here to see our latest Peugeot Leasing Offers.
MG 4
Though the MG4 is larger than others on this list, its price significantly undercuts them. You still get loads of equipment for the price, too, with a 10.25-inch screen and a digital display two of a number of features included as standard.
It’s also great to drive while its 281 miles of claimed range make it a far better long-distance proposition than others. Click here to see our latest MG Leasing Offers.
Mini Electric
Mini’s Electric takes the iconic hatch into the electrified age. Introduced in 2020, the Mini Electric has really struck a chord with buyers as it delivers the retro look that people are after but with an efficient powertrain that delivers up to 145 miles of range.
It’s also great to drive and retains that fun, nimble handling that you’d expect from a Mini. As with other cars in the range, there’s loads of scope for personalisation too. Click here to see our latest Mini Electric Leasing Offers.
Fiat 500
In a similar vein to the Mini, Fiat’s electric 500 has managed to transfer some of the retro-inspired cool of the petrol-powered version into a full EV. It has also done this while including some clever new technology, such as a large central screen.
With a 199-mile range, it’s got plenty in the ‘tank’, too, while its compact dimensions make it a great choice for inner-city drivers who need to get into tighter spaces. Click here to see our latest Fiat Electric Leasing Offers.
Mazda MX-30
Mazda’s MX-30 has taken a slightly different approach to others in the segment. This is a car which has prioritised lightness, which is why its batteries are smaller and, as a result, its range is a bit lower at 105 miles. However, smaller batteries mean that it’s quicker and easier to charge, so for drivers with shorter routes it could prove ideal.
Inside, there are loads of high-end materials while the wood finish applied in many areas gives the car a particularly ‘green’ feel. Click here to see our latest Mazda Electric Leasing Deals.
Renault Zoe
Renault’s Zoe has been a force to be reckoned with in the EV segment for a while now, having been one of the frontrunners in the market. These days it’s still just as good of a proposition, with its compact dimensions making it a great purchase for drivers in urban areas.
But with a range of up to 238 miles, it’s not restricted to the city, either, while its good looks help to make this compact car stand out. See all the latest Renault Electric Leasing Offers here.
