Honda has refreshed its entire lineup for 2026, shifting toward a hybrid-first strategy while launching its next generation of electric vehicles. Founded in 1948 as a motorcycle manufacturer, Honda has evolved into a global mobility leader defined by its "Power of Dreams" philosophy. 

In 2026, the brand is undergoing a major transformation, introducing a new H mark logo to symbolise its commitment to next-generation mobility. The Civic e:HEV, Jazz and HR-V are its most popular vehicles in the UK.

Which is the best Honda to lease? 

Now evolving into its eleventh generation as a sophisticated, hybrid-only hatchback the Civic endures as one of Honda's great success stories. For 2026, the Civic e:HEV has been further refined with a sleek facelift, featuring a more aggressive front profile and an upgraded digital cockpit with Google built-in. It continues to be the benchmark for the smart choice, offering a seamless blend of self-charging efficiency and a punchy, driver-focused performance that has secured its place as a perennial award-winner for families and enthusiasts alike.

The all-new CR-V has transitioned into a premium SUV powerhouse, designed to offer more space and luxury than any of its predecessors. In the 2026 market, the focus has shifted entirely to electrified performance, with buyers choosing between the versatile e:HEV full hybrid and the cutting-edge e:PHEV plug-in model, which provides a significant electric-only range for daily commuting. By trading the traditional 7-seat layout for a class-leading 5-seat cabin and a massive boot, the CR-V prioritises refined comfort and aerodynamic efficiency, making it the ultimate long-distance cruiser for the modern era.

Can I lease a Honda EV?

You can lease a couple of Honda electric vehicles and nearly every model is available in hybrid form, as Honda currently transitions to its next generation of EVs.

The current lineup is led by the Honda e:Ny1, a compact electric SUV available in Europe that offers a range of up to 256 miles and a high-tech 15.1-inch interior display, however neither this model nor the Honda e will be available for much longer.  Honda is preparing for a massive influx of new models under the "0 Series" banner. This new family, featuring a sleek Saloon and a mid-sized SUV, is expected to arrive in 2026 with advanced fast-charging capabilities. 

Who are Honda's direct competitors?

If you want to compare Honda with similar brands, Toyota and Hyundai are the most obvious rivals, as all 3 brands focus on reliability, efficiency, and family-friendly utility. Together with Kia, they form the core of the mainstream electrified market.

Your Honda leasing FAQs answered

Leasing a car rather than buying outright is often a great option for many, as you can use affordable monthly payments to drive a new car of your choice. You can also adjust the agreement to suit your needs, which makes it a flexible way to drive your car.

Typically drivers can afford to lease a higher spec of vehicle than they’d be able to afford if buying outright as well, getting all the latest kit for a more affordable price. Since you don't own the car, you don't need to worry about the depreciation in its value and simply hand it back at the end of your lease.

The price of your leasing plan will differ depending on a number of factors, including the length of your contract and model of the Honda. We can't guarantee a particular car will always be the cheapest as we work with all of the UK's leading finance companies, every manufacturer and a large network of dealerships in order to get the best deals possible. 

Our experienced and helpful team will work with you to get the best Honda lease deal possible. You can find out online with a free quote or call us on 0330 221 0000 to find out more.
