Honda’s CR-V hybrid range now starts at £1399 for the S automatic trim (down from £1999 last month). Unfortunately, it looks like Honda Civic prices have all increased by around £1000.

The 100% electric Kona is now £399, a whopping £2300 less than last month. We think this is for non-facelifted model, but it’s still great value (with an advertised 270+ mile electric range). The updated Kona (with the new MHEV mild-hybrid petrol engine) starts at £399, with the newly-introduced N-Line trim £1299.

MG MOTORS - The MG HS Crossover remains one of our best buys this month. The popular HS Excite trim is still £0 Advance Payment, which we think is fantastic value for money when you consider it comes with satellite navigation, reversing camera system and keyless entry. It’s just £249 for the automatic version, down by £50. The Exclusive automatic trim is now £899 (down from £999). The electric MG ZS EV Excite is also £0 Advance Payment, with better Exclusive trim £199 (reduced from £299).

The CX-30 range now starts at £299 for the SE-L trim (down from £699), or pay £499 for the higher-spec SE-L Lux.

More CX-5 trims have also been added, including Sport and GT Sport versions.   

MERCEDES BENZ – Some Mercedes-Benz Motability prices have improved this month.

Prices for the all-new Mini Electric – also added to the Motability Scheme during March – are unchanged, starting at £249 for the entry Mini Electric ‘Level 1’.

MITSUBISHI – One of the bargains of quarter 2 will undoubtably be the popular Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV plug in hybrid, priced from £899 this month for the Verve trim (down from £2999). The Dynamic at £1499 may well be the one to go for though, as it comes with extra features like black leather seats, a power driver’s seat and additional safety kit. The conventionally powered Outlanders are still available, priced from £2499. The starting price for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross range is £0 Advance Payment. Go for the Dynamic automatic trim at £0 Advance Payment (was £699), or if you want the 4-wheel-drive version it’s only £249. This model features 18 inch alloy wheels, head up display, Apple Carplay and Android Auto support, front and rear parking sensors, rear view camera, climate control and heated front seats.

NISSAN – The Nissan Qashqai is still one of the best value SUV’s on the scheme, with the Qashqai Acenta Premium 1.3 DIG-T 160 automatic competitively priced this month at £199 Advance Payment. The number of Qashqai models available has come right down this year as we wait for the arrival of the next-generation Qashqai in the autumn (hopefully). Nissan’s two 100% electric models – the 5 door Leaf and the E-NV200 Combi MPV - now start at £0 and £4099 respectively. Nissan have also introduced longer range versions of the Leaf this month. The Nissan X-Trail SUV is no longer available.

PEUGEOT - The electric Peugeot e-208 range begins at £599 (was £999), while the e-2008 range starts at £999 (was £1899). Check out the impressive e-208 GT Premium at £899, reduced from £1999 last quarter. Prices have also come down  little on the conventionally-powered 2008 range. The recently refreshed Peugeot 3008 SUV now starts from £549, while the larger 7 seat 5008 range begins at £999 (was £1699). The 8 seat Peugeot Traveller is also better value this month, with models priced from £3399. The Rifter range can be ordered with £599 Advance Payment, with 7 seats versions available from £799. The 508 'Fastback' and SW estate have also joined the scheme. 

RENAULT - The 100% electric Renault Zoe Iconic can still be ordered with £0 Motability Advance Payment this month, plus there’s 5 other models to choose from including sporty GT Line trims and rapid charge options. The Renault Clio 5 door range looks good again this month, with the RS Line E-TECH Hybrid automatic at £195 (down from £245) a great buy in our opinion. The Renault Captur range starts at £195, with plug-in hybrids versions now priced from £2495 (for the Launch Edition). The Renault Kadjar SUV is no longer available to order.

SEAT – Advance Payment prices for the new SEAT Leon hatchback start from £0 Advance Payment this month. The Leon 1.5 TSI EVO FR at that price looks a great option, as does the FR Sport eTSi automatic at £349, £50 less than last quarter. The Leon XCELLENCE eTSi automatic estate is now £599. Ateca prices have increased a little bit. The recently refreshed SEAT Ateca SUV range now starts with the SE Technology at £299 (an increase of £50), and we like the look of the Ateca EVO FR DSG automatic at £1149. If you need something a bit bigger, the 7 seat SEAT Tarraco range now starts from £1749 (for the SE trim).

SKODA - Some Skoda KAROQ SUV prices have fallen. The entry model - the 1.0 TSi 110 SE – is still £0 Advance Payment, while the Skoda KAROQ SE Technology  is now £195, £200 less than last month. The smaller Skoda KAMIQ range has come down in price, with the KAMIQ TSi SE L DSG automatic now £245, down from £595 last quarter. There’s also a new KAMIQ Monte Carlo special edition – which gets 18 inch black alloys, ‘Amundsen’ satellite navigation, virtual cockpit and a panoramic glass roof – for just £195 Advance Payment. Skoda KODIAQ models are also down in price by around £400.

SMART - smart only produce electric cars these days, and again this quarter both the smart FORTWO and FORFOUR can be driven away with £0 Motability Advanced Payment. There’s also a new smart FORTWO bluedawn special edition available this month, which comes with unique BRABUS styling and a velvet blue matte finish. They can all be leased by Motability drivers under the age of 25.

SUZUKI – The Suzuki Vitara SZ4 and SZ-T Boosterjet 48v hybrid trims are again both very competitively priced at £0 Advance Payment. The SZ5 trim is £499. The Suzuki Swift Hybrid SZ-5 automatic looks decent value again this quarter at £0 Advance Payment, while both Suzuki Swace estate models – new additions during the previous quarter – have gone up by £300.   

TOYOTA - The Toyota C-HR Hybrid range - a very popular crossover with Motability customers partly because it comes with an automatic gearbox as standard – now starts at £495 Advance Payment (up £200) for the ICON trim. Other trim levels have also increased in price, many by more than £1000. The new Yaris Hybrid 5 door still starts at £0 Advance Payment this month. Toyota Corolla prices also begin at £0 for the hatchback and saloon versions, while the touring sports estate models start at £245. The RAV4 range starts at £2345 this month for the ICON trim, down from £2645. Toyota Proace Verso prices start at £5195.

VAUXHALL - This quarter the 100% electric Vauxhall Corsa-e automatic can again be ordered through the Motability Scheme with nothing to pay upfront. Choose the SRI Nav Premium or the Elite Nav Premium trim: both are £0 Advance Payment. The Elite Nav Premium trim comes with extra features like a panoramic rear view camera and heated front seats. The next generation Vauxhall Mokka now starts at £699 (down from £999), or £1199 if you want an automatic. It’s now a minimum of £1849 if you want the all electric Mokka-e, down from £2149 last month. Prices for the Vauxhall Grandland X range start at £499 Advance Payment for the SE Premium and SRi Nav diesel trims. It’s £799 for the lowest-priced Elite Nav trim. Prices have come down a little on some of the recently facelifted Vauxhall Crossland models. We think the Ultimate Nav automatics (choose from petrol or diesel) are amazing value at £49 Advance Payment. The Vivaro Life (with 8 or 9 seats) is no longer available with a diesel engine, but you can now order the electric Vivaro-e Life with £1249 Advance Payment, down from £3999 last quarter.

VOLKSWAGEN – The Volkswagen Passat saloon is back on the scheme this month, priced from £2099 for the TSi R Line trim (or £2299 for the automatic version). The Volkswagen Golf now starts from £199 Advance Payment for the impressive 1.5 TSi R Line, but at £599 the Golf eTSi 150 R Line automatic is probably the one to go for (despite going up in price by £199). The Volkswagen T-Roc 1.5 TSi EVO SEL automatic at £499 and the T-Roc R Line at £999 are still great value for money. The seven seat Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace is slightly better value this month, with the range now starting at £1649, while the recently updated Tiguan SUV range now starts at £799. It’s also great to see that the electric Volkswagen ID.3 is still available to order, priced from £999.

At this time booking an appointment is essential to help everyone maintain social distancing and hygiene measures so dealerships can provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment for all customers and employees.

If you want to visit a car showroom you will need to make an appointment with a Motability Specialist so that they can plan your visit and spend the right amount of time with you to make sure you choose the right vehicle.

It's possible you'll see some mistakes being made by team members or other customers, but please don't start recording videos or taking photos to upload to social media. Speak to a member of the management team or perhaps the dealership owner about your concerns first. This 'new normal' is new for everyone and it may take some people a little more time than others to get absolutely everything right.
