Car Deal of the Day: Thanks Elon! Tesla Model 3 now under £280 a month
Easy to drive; minimalist interior 323-mile range Just £278.50 a month Tesla may have turned in a disappointing set of sales results for the last quarter of 2025 this week, but there's no denying that the Model 3 is still a very capable and desirable electric car. Happily, there are deals to be had, too. Advertisement - Article continues below AA Lease is offering the electric saloon for just £278.50 a month right now. This two-year deal only requires a £3,612 initial deposit to get the ball rolling, while mileage is capped at 5,000 a year. We suspect you might want to raise this annual mileage limit; doing so won't break the bank, as an 8,000-mile allowance will only cost an extra £18.29 a month. This deal gets you the Standard model, so that's the entry-level rear-wheel drive version of the Model 3, in other words. A 60kWh battery pack opens up a range of 323 miles WLTP, and in our experience Teslas are very efficient so a real-world range in the high 200s is easily achievable. Of course, having a Tesla gives you access to the firm's Supercharger network, ensuring quick and convenient top-ups. Standard equipment is pretty high on the Tesla Model 3, with power-adjustable and heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, 18-inch wheels, a massive 15.4-inch touchscreen, and metallic paint all being thrown in. Inside is a very minimalist place, with hardly any buttons, plenty of plain surfaces and no indicator stalks, while the latest Model 3 has been tweaked on the outside with sleeker styling to give a more modern look.

Car Deal of the Day: Ford Explorer brings bold looks and family-size space for £236 a month
Chunky looks; well-equipped 233-mile range Just £235.88 a month While the revival of the Ford Capri might have caused more than a few eyebrows to raise, its sister car the Ford Explorer is the model that is really helping the Blue Oval switch on to electric. Why? Well, the Explorer is starting to become a popular sight on UK roads, with buyers seemingly flocking to the car's chunky styling and competitive electric driving range. Advertisement - Article continues below Great lease deals such as this one are surely helping, too. AA Lease is offering the electric SUV for just £235.88 a month right now, after an initial payment of £3,100.56. It's a two-year deal with mileage capped to 5,000 a year, but nudging this up to a more flexible 8,000 miles a year costs just under £20 a month extra. Ford has recently expanded the Explorer range with this 52kWh battery model to offer more choice and value to customers – and that's exactly what this deal gets you. It's still good for 233 miles of range and, interestingly, features faster recharging than the 77kWh battery models with its 145kW maximum charging rate. With 168bhp, this Explorer isn't the quickest SUV around, with 0-62mph taking 8.7 seconds. But it's more than enough for a family car, and its rear-wheel-drive chassis actually provides some engaging handling – it's even sharper to drive than the Volkswagen ID.4, which shares the Explorer's platform. Along with the small battery, you also get the entry-level trim. Style has everything you need, with sat-nav, cruise control, 19-inch alloys, dual-zone air-conditioning and LED lights front and rear all coming as standard. The interior is roomy and has an interestingly designed and plush feeling dashboard, with the 14.6-inch portrait touchscreen a particular highlight. Meanwhile, the 470-litre boot is huge.

Car Deal of the Day: Hot Volkswagen Touareg R offers 455bhp for just £521 a month
Cheapest Touareg you can lease Spicy 455bhp 3.0-litre plug-in hybrid power Just £520.53 a month In the world of big-shot hot SUVs, the Volkswagen Touareg R is often overlooked. On paper it has the best of both worlds – lusty V6 power and sporty styling coupled with (potentially) wallet-pleasing running costs, and yet it's never in the spotlight. However, this deal might change that. Advertisement - Article continues below Scouring the Auto Express Find a Car service, we found AA Lease is offering the range-topping, £83,000 performance Touareg for just £520.53 a month. Sounds a terrific deal – and it really is – but it's especially bonkers when you realise that this is the cheapest Volkswagen Touareg you can lease right now. This deal sees the top-spec R undercutting the normally mid-spec Black Edition by a whopping £109.61 a month. Not only are the monthly payments a bargain, but the £6,516.36 initial payment is pretty reasonable, too. This two-year deal has a mileage cap of 5,000 a year, but this can be revised up to 8,000 per annum for just over £37 extra a month. While the latest Touareg R isn't as raw and hardcore as some of its predecessors, it's still undeniably a strong sporting proposition, sharing a lot of its make-up with the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Under the bonnet lies a different engine from its more prestigious sister, but it's still a throaty 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 petrol. It's hooked up to an electric motor and a 14.3kWh battery pack, giving a combined 455bhp. Packing such power, you won't be surprised to know it's quick. The 0-62mph sprint takes just 5.1 seconds, and because the R is a plug-in hybrid, there's 30 miles of EV range on offer. Charge the car regularly, and you've got a 455bhp hot SUV that'll cost buttons to run. Along with the meaty power, the R gets a raft of styling additions to denote its sporting intent, with HD matrix headlights, full leather upholstery, a panoramic roof and air suspension all coming as standard.
