Changan electric lease

Changan Electric Lease Deals UK

The growth of Chinese cars, especially pure electric ones, is a trending theme in the UK. When you think back 10 – 15 years ago, the majority of vehicle aspirations would circulate around the likes of Audi, BMW, Land Rover and Mercedes.

Yet today, in October 2025, we are now discussing brands like BYD, Geely, Jaecoo, Leapmotor, Omoda and Xpeng. What makes the UK so special and how will Changan Automobile, the latest entrant, fare in the leasing market?

Why choose to lease a Changan EV?

A Chinese-owned vehicle conglomerate, the Changan group are perhaps one of the secrets of the Chinese vehicle economy. While the company can date back to 1862, the production of vehicles only arose around 1959.

More recently, affinity and joint venture schemes with the likes of Ford and Mazda have allowed this car market to grow in popularity. Self-described as one of the largest and most influential manufacturers in China, the Changan team reported sales of near 1.5 million vehicles between January and June 2025.

When you consider that this is more than the total amount of new vehicles registered in the UK for the same period (across all car brands), this provides some perspective on just how serious this global corporation is.

With a vision to be the world-leader in Powertrain technologies, the team are well versed in cars, commercial and alternative energy vehicles. More recent focus into hybrid and all-electric vehicles, with full autonomy, are now key on the company agenda. Supporting all of this, are world-class R&D centres, like the one in Birmingham UK.

How expensive is a Changan Electric lease?

At the time of writing (October 2025) there is only one battery-only vehicle – the Deepal S07. Sitting around £40,000, this will be a moderately inexpensive vehicle and should prove to be equally popular with both personal and business leasing customers.
The “Deepal” is actually the brand’s electric / EV arm and will be just one of the group’s initiatives into the UK. With the ability to create PHEV and BEV, a swathe of options are expected to launch after the S07. Expect Changan to sit at a similar price point to the likes of BYD or VW / Skoda.

Is a Changan Electric right for me?

At e-car, our experts are here to assist with contract hire and leasing queries. This means finance products that allow you to use the Changan EV on a 2 - 4 year term and based on your required mileage (generally 5,000 – 25,000 per annum) with an initial rental (deposit) of your choosing.

This is an incredibly risk averse approach, as the vehicle is simply collected at contract cessation without any RV or ownership concerns. Business, salary sacrifice or personal, the journey (and rationale) is the same.
