Ssangyong electric lease

SsangYong lease deals UK

Do SsangYong have electric cars – is this manufacturer even available in the UK? The growth of electric cars and vans available to buy or lease in the UK is now bringing new entrants to the market (just look at what Tesla have done in the last 5 years!). 

The South-Korean based automotive manufacturer has very much been in and out of the UK over the last 20 years with its predominantly SUV and 4x4 product suite offering cost-effective motoring solutions.

With a tale of mixed fortunes, the group are still owned by Mahindra, after it was confirmed that a takeover by Edison Motors has failed. But this group continues to trade.   
At present, customers can enjoy the Tivoli, Musso, Rexton or Korando, with the latter now being made available in a 100% electric format which the group call “e-Motion”. This new electric Korando e-Motion is soon becoming available to order in the UK.

Why choose to lease a SsangYong?

The manufacturer has a reputation for cost-effective and frugal transport solutions. With COVID and microchip shortages obliterating the global automotive landscape, many UK customers are furiously pursuing the cheapest EVs to lease and this means exciting opportunities for some of the new vehicle producers.

With existing combustion engine 4x4 products ranging from £18,000 - £40,000, there is some expectation that e-car lease customers will benefit from some market leading rentals on a family-sized SUV. And, as we are quickly finding out, the future of the UK’s zero-emission fleet seems very much in the hands of anything SUV or Crossover.

How expensive is a SsangYong to lease?

At the time of writing there is still limited pricing information on the new Korando e-Motion, with the manufacture’s website still not showing an OTR for lease or purchase. However, data the e-car lease team have received shows that the vehicle will start from around £32,000 for the base ELX model.

In terms of monthly leasing prices, expect £350 - £500 vehicle and contract dependent. But the price you pay for the finance should not be the only facet which you consider with your new SsangYong. Electric vehicles offer cost-savings on servicing, fuel, company car tax, salary sacrifice schemes and Congestion Zone / Clean Air Zone fees.

Using the e-car lease unique “At a glance” tools, you can quickly understand how much a SsangYong costs to fuel (0 - 100%), your cost per mile, the real-world range and your company car tax liabilities. Whether you are a personal, business or salary sacrifice customer, our expert tools have you covered.

Is a Ssangyong right for me?

Moving to an electric SsangYong can be intimidating for some customers, particularly if you are driving an EV for the first-time. Suitability is more than just a monthly rental or the aesthetics, and ergonomics, a vehicle offers you or the company. Much of your decision will pertain to the actual range (based on temperature and driving conditions), the charging speeds (both AC and DC), the performance and your charge point infrastructure.

Can you charge your new SUV EV at home? Or are you planning to use a public network to regularly charge? Use our integrated Zap Map tools to understand where you can take your SsangYong to charge. Just note that the Korando e-Motion can charge at 6.6 kW AC (10 hour 0 – 100% times) and 80 kW DC rapid charge (40 minute 10 – 80% charge times). As contract hire is a fixed term contract, you can’t simply hand the vehicle back if it isn’t suitable for you or the business; so ensure you utilise our advice and guidance.
