While the classic Mazda 3 remains a staple with its refined seat design and the efficiency of the spark-controlled Skyactiv-X engine, the 2026 landscape is further enhanced by a shift toward more powerful standard engines, such as the 2.5L e-Skyactiv G, and the introduction of electrified options which offer significant tax advantages for leaseholders. This combination of traditional mechanical purity, upgraded standard features like the Harmonic Acoustics audio system, and a growing portfolio of hybrid and electric powertrains makes Mazda an exceptionally prudent choice for those who value premium build quality and driving dynamics.
Mazda differentiates itself through a driver-first philosophy that blends premium craftsmanship with soulful handling, making them the ideal choice for someone who views driving as an emotional experience rather than just a commute.
The best Mazda lease deals depend on whether you need a stylish daily driver or a fun weekend roadster. Mazdas remain top-tier for reliability and premium interiors without the luxury price tag. The Mazda MX-5 (recently updated with an improved 8.8-inch screen and better handling) remains the best-selling, most engaging, and affordable roadster available. If you need space, the CX-30 is an excellent compact crossover, while the 2026 3rd Generation CX-5 is a refined, larger mid-size SUV that brings sophisticated design and improved safety tech (i-ACTIVSENSE) to a competitive market.
In 2026, Mazda's UK electric vehicle lineup is spearheaded by the all-new Mazda 6e electric saloon and the Mazda CX-6e electric SUV. The 6e offers around 345-mile range, while the CX-6e is a 78kWh, 300-mile range SUV arriving later in the year.
There are various hybrid options available across the range too, including the CX-60 and CX-80 PHEV models.
The main rivals of Mazda include Subaru, Honda and Toyota. If you want to compare some of the lease deals listed above with similar models.

Mazda have been producing high-quality cars for decades. At the heart of their ethos is an innovative challenger spirit and they consistently strive to push boundaries with next-generation engines and technology to produce beautiful cars that are fun to drive. You can be certain that if you choose Mazda, you’ll be driving a reliable car that places the driver at the heart of its design.
From the moment you buy a car, the value of it begins to depreciate, so you’ll never be able to recoup your spend if you decide to sell it on. This can be especially frustrating when it’s a higher priced vehicle such as a Mazda. Leasing however, lets you use the vehicle without the cost associated with ownership.
Buying a car outright means parting with lots of money in one hit. In comparison, leasing allows you to pay a much smaller amount each month for a limited contract period. Once up, you can choose to lease a new car and so you never have to worry about maintaining the car as it gets older.
Our Mazda leasing prices will vary depending on the deals that we can get at the time, but we work to find the very best prices on the market for our customers. The exact cost depends on your contract length, whether you choose a personal or business contract, the specific model, chosen mileage and budget. Generally, the Mazda 2 tends to be the cheapest model in their catalogue and so will usually include some of the cheapest lease deals.

The Mazda CX-5 is one of their most popular models, closely followed by the CX-30.
When you reach the end of your Mazda lease you simply arrange for the car to be collected by the funder and move on to your next vehicle!
Some drivers want to keep their lease car for longer than the original contract length. Most funders will let you, via a lease extension, which can be a formal one for a set period of time or an informal rolling extension. You can find out more about this and returning a lease vehicle in our end of a lease guide.
The Mazda 6e saloon features a 78kWh battery delivering a range of up to 348 miles (WLTP) and a rapid peak charge speed of 195kW, allowing for a 10–80% top-up in roughly 24 minutes. The CX-6e SUV offers similar charging performance with a range of approximately 300 miles.
