New 2021 Audi Q3
Here's one we weren't expecting. In December 2020 Motability added the new Audi Q3 SUV to the Motability price list. With this car Audi continues to target the ever-growing Motability market for premium-badged, five-seat SUVs. This second-generation Q3 is cleverer, smarter and more efficient than the version it replaces.
There are cheaper options out there for Motability drvers, but there's not very many more desirable ones.

New 2021 Citroen C4 and e-C4
The all-new Citroen C4 has arrived early, replacing both the C4 Cactus and the C4 hatchback.

This new model features the French brand's popular Advanced Comfort package, which means it boasts a very comfortable ride and incredibly supportive seats. The pure-electric version of the C4 is called the e-C4, and it is available at launch alongside conventional petrol and diesel options.

New 2021 Hyundai i20
The third generation version of Hyundai's i20 has been usefully improved. Added to the Motability Scheme price list on 1 January, this 5 door hatchback is no longer merely a budget choice for Motability customers. The new model now has the quality, the efficiency, the technology and the looks to square up against many of the supermini class leaders. Here in the UK we only get a single engine - a 1.0-litre petrol powerplant with a 48-volt mild hybrid powertrain - that's available with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed 7DCT auto transmission.
If you're shopping in this segment, the i20 is a car you shouldn't leave off your shortlist

New 2021 BMW 2 Series Coupe
The all-new BMW 2 Series coupe is expected to look very different to any other current 2 Series model. BMW have already announced that it will be the only 2 Series to feature a rear-wheel drive setup. The engine range will be shared with the current 1 Series range, and it's almost certain that the interior design will be as well, so expect entry-level trims to get an 8.8-inch touchscreen, LED headlights and smartphone mirroring as standard.
Expected BMW 2 Series Coupe Motability launch date: TBC
-
New 2021 DS4 Crossback
Following the recent arrival of the DS3 Crossback and the DS7 Crossback, DS appear to be working on another SUV-style vehicle to fill the current void between its only models. Size-wise it’ll probably aim to be a rival for new Mercedes GLA and the BMW X1 SUV, and will almost certainly include a plug-in hybrid option and a full 100% electric E-TENSE version.
After being spotted recently in testing, looks as though the new DS4 Crossback will be more of a jacked-up hatchback than a fully-fledged SUV.
Expected DS4 Motability launch date: TBC

New 2021 Dacia EV
Romanian brand Dacia will enter the electric car market in 2021. The car will be a rebadged version of the Renault K-ZE, which is only available to customers in China. When it arrives in the UK next year it is expected to be one of the cheapest electric vehicles available. Size wise, this car will measure around 3.73 metres long, which puts it somewhere between the Volkswagen up! and the MINI hatchback – although the Dacia gets more of a SUV-style look. Specifications and a name have yet to be confirmed, but the vehicle should look very similar to the 'Spring Electric' concept shown here.

New 2021 Dacia Sandero
UK Motability customers will get to choose between the standard 5 door Dacia Sandero and the beefed-up Sandero Stepway, which adds roof rails, a higher ride height and rugged plastic cladding.

New 2021 Fiat 500 Electric
The new 100% electric Fiat 500 will share most of its styling with the current petrol-powered car, but underneath will be an entirely new platform, an electric motor and 42kWh battery pack. Expect 199 miles of range (on the WLTP test cycle) if you pick the longer-range version, giving it a slight edge over the new Mini Electric and Honda E.
There will also be a cheaper, lower-range model available, capable of 115 miles.
Fiat claim that this will be the first city car to offer drivers 'Level 2 Autonomous Driving', which means the Fiat 500 electric will be able to autonomously accelerate, brake, keep you in lane, read road signs and suggest adjusting your speed to match local conditions.

New 2021 Hyundai Tucson
The all-new Hyundai Tucson has been revealed with a completely fresh design, loads of advanced safety features plus a new range of hybrid powertrains.
It's bolder than you’d expect a practical, family-focussed SUV to be, with a huge grille at the front that incorporates the vehicle's daytime running lights and headlights sat in separate pods underneath.
On the inside, the new Tucson gets a completely new design that's both futuristic and minimalist, with a large central touchscreen and a smart glossy black pane of touch-sensitive buttons just below.

New 2021 Nissan Qashqai
The next-generation Nissan Qashqai is an incredibly important car for Nissan and Motability as it's consistently one of the biggest sellers on the Motability Scheme.
It will be available with a hybrid powertrain with an electric motor that has a similar output to its current EVs. Unlike the electric vehicles though, the battery will be topped up via a 1.5-litre ‘range-extender’ petrol engine that won’t power the wheels directly. This 'e-Power' system is already beng used by the Nissan Note in Japan.
The Qashqai will be available at launch with a mild hybrid option using a 1.3-litre petrol engine and small electric motor. Diesel engines will not be available. A fully electric, similar-sized vehicle called the 'Nissan Ariya' has already been announced.

The Tonale (named after a famous Italian mountain pass) will be Alfa’s baby SUV, replacing the aging Alfa Romeo Giulietta hatchback and competing against rivals like the Audi Q2 and the BMW X1 and X2. Pricing for the Alfa Romeo Tonale hasn’t been announced, but the recommended retail price should be low enough for it to hopefully feature on the Motability pricelist.

New 2021 Hyundai Bayon
Hyundai's new B-segment SUV, called the Bayon, will sit just below the Kona in the Hyundai line up and will be seen as competition for models like the Nissan Juke and Vauxhall Crossland X.
The Bayon - which is named after the city of Bayonne in southwest France - will share its platform and engines with the latest Hyundai i20, which means it should be powered by a mild-hybrid, turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engine.
Expected Hyundai Bayon Motability launch date: TBC

New 2021 Kia Sportage
The Sportage is Kia’s best-selling model here in the UK, but the current version has been on sale for a while so it's due an overhaul. The new fifth-generation car, expected to hit UK showrooms towards the back end of the 2021, is likely to feature a radical new design and the option of electrified powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid version. A diesel engine is likely to still be available too.
The new Sportage will share many of its parts with the recently released new Hyundai Tucson (just like the current Sportage does), including the same engines, connectivity tech and safety systems.
Expected Kia Sportage Motability launch date: TBC

New 2021 Toyota Yaris Cross
When it launches in 2021 the new Toyota Yaris Cross will be the Japanese brand’s smallest and most affordable SUV. Almost a decade after Toyota discontinued its last small SUV (remember the Urban Cruiser?), the new Yaris Cross is, as its name suggests, based on the Yaris hatchback, but a gets a rugged and distinct look all of its own.
All models will come with hybrid technology, featuring a 1.5 litre petrol engine working in conjunction with an electric motor and a CVT automatic gearbox.
When released it will be up against other small SUVs - like the Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur, the Vauxhall Mokka and the Ford Puma - for the attention of Motability customers.

It’s the second model to come from the new partnership between Toyota and Suzuki following the RAV4-based Suzuki Across. The Swace links up a powerful electric motor with a 1.8-litre petrol engine and can run on electric power alone by switching to EV mode using power supplied from the battery (for short distances only).

New 2021 Peugeot 308

Vauxhall is likely to give the next-generation Astra a bold new look, with a redesigned front grille and bumper similar to the new 'Visor' design been seen on latest Mokka SUV.
It will share its engine options with the new Peugeot 308, so expect a 1.2 litre turbo petrol option plus a 1.5 litre diesel aimed at higher mileage rental firms and company car drivers. A plug-in hybrid will also be available, probably using the same dual electric motors seen in the Grandland X Hybrid4 (with an electric-only range of around 30-40 miles).

New 2021 Electric Vauxhall Combo Life, Peugeot Rifter and Citroen Berlingo
PSA Group - the firm that owns Peugeot, Vauxhall and Citroen - has confirmed that it will offer pure-electric versions of its three van-based MPV derivatives – the Peugeot Rifter, Citroen Berlingo and Vauxhall Combo Life people carriers.
All three are expected to use the same 134bhp electric motor and 50kWh battery currently seen in commercial vehicles like the Vauxhall Vivaro-e, in addition to PSA Group cars like the Peugeot e-2008, the e-208, the Vauxhall Mokka-e and the Corsa-e.
As the pure-electric version of these vehicles will house its battery packs under the vehicle’s floor, it's uncertain whether or not these van-based MPVs could be converted for use as Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs).
