Electric Car News - The new Mercedes-AMG GT SUV Electric Car Lease is here

Our Latest Electric Car Lease - The new Mercedes-AMG GT SUV - Electric Car News

The big news recently (28 October 2026) was the UK’s autumnal budget. For the EV and car leasing industry, there were no huge changes or takeaways that we would really shout from the rooftops about (consistency does help!). There are, however, some decent points of clarity which are important notes for personal and business customers looking to procure a zero-emission vehicle. This includes:

•  Company Car Tax – the need for BiK certainty was confirmed, with the rate slowly moving to 10% in year 2030 / 2031. The issue is what will happen at the 10% threshold, with EV groups pushing the Government to keep it at this rate otherwise salary sacrifice schemes will be more impacted and this could remove the attractiveness of them. While salary sacrifice and new / used electric cars has been on the agenda, the Government have not issued any statements or changes which would impact it;

•  Capital Allowances – the first-year allowance increases from 40% to 50% for qualifying expenditure from 1 January 2027. This brings forward tax relief for eligible leased assets such as vans. Additionally, there is a cut in the main writing-down allowance from 14% to 12%, from 1 April 2027 for Corporation Tax;
•  eVED – Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) remains in place for April 2028. The Government have issued guidance on automated refunds, an eVED Connect telematics to reduce manual mileage reporting and Gov.UK estimated mileage cost calculator;

•  Charging Costs – in a side article the Government confirmed that the price of charging will be reduced at a local level in order to save drivers £150 per year. Commenting on the 2026 Budget building fiscal stability, the political powers have confirmed that from Spring 2027 some £100 million will be provided in order to reduce the cost of charging for motorists using lower-powered charge points close to home. This will cover those found on residential streets where a driver can leave their vehicle for many hours. This is expected to cover around 1 / 3 of the UK’s charging network. The Government are also helping drivers to use “tariff porting” which means allowing the driver to move their cheaper domestic energy tariff around different chargers. The Department for Transport will assist in this effort. 

The EV transition has remained a strong part of the current Government’s political intentions and ambitions. The £7.5 billion to be invested across the UK by 2035 remains in place, including the Electric Car Grant support for motorists and manufacturers. Having top-down confidence is essential to personal and business customers. Even more so with the swathe of new performance and luxury electric cars hitting the UK market over the next year or so.

The new all-electric Mercedes-AMG GT SUV is the epitome of this type of car, and this will bring about a performance EV to rival the likes of the Lamborghini Urus and the Range Rover SVR. “Too bold to resist” the Mercedes GT SUV will offer incredible electric performance, striking design and a cockpit built around the driver.

All of the options, GT 53, 55 and 63, are engineered to pull the driver into an immersive experience. The big thing about the new SUV is that it is very much a real GT, pushing performance and power to the driver. On the outside, this has shape and a confident design.

The interior is a driver focused cockpit with advanced engineering and comfort-loaded details. This EV has the type of passion and character which we have witnessed in the combustion world, and which has, to some extent, been absent within the segment. Sporty character, illuminated AMG front grille, illuminated rear design, alloy choices (up to 23”) and AEROKINETICS elements feature within the repertoire. Read more about this for yourself at the Mercedes website.
