Test out EV living for 12 months with this Abarth lease deal

SPONSORED

A standout electric car leasing deal has just landed in the UK, offering drivers a rare chance to experience a performance-focused EV without a long-term commitment. The Abarth 600e, an electric hot hatch with a list price close to £34,000, is currently available on a 12-month lease for around £256 per month based on 10,000 miles per year, with only £99 upfront.

Short-term EV leases like this are becoming increasingly appealing, particularly for drivers who are curious about electric cars but don’t yet want to commit to the usual two- or four-year contract. The Abarth 600e stands out in this space because it isn’t positioned as a typical entry-level EV. Instead, it focuses on performance, character and driving engagement, making it a far more interesting proposition than many similarly priced electric alternatives.

At just 12 months long, this deal is well suited to drivers who want to test how an EV fits into their lifestyle, whether that’s charging at home, running costs, or day-to-day usability. With a 10,000-mile allowance, it also works well for average UK driving patterns, while keeping monthly costs predictable and manageable. For a car in this price bracket, the monthly figure is notably competitive, particularly when compared with longer lease terms on similar electric models.

The deal is available via Leasing.com, where drivers can view full details, availability and current pricing. You can find the offer here: https://tinyurl.com/y7hvnxv4

As with any lease, it’s also worth considering gap insurance, especially on a short-term agreement involving a relatively high-value vehicle. Gap insurance can protect you financially if the car is written off or stolen, covering the difference between your insurer’s payout and what’s still owed on the lease. ALA Insurance offers specialist gap policies for leased vehicles, and readers can use the code JIM10 when taking out cover. More information is available here: https://tinyurl.com/j4kv696w

Deals like this highlight how flexible EV leasing has become, lowering the barrier for drivers who want to try electric without making a long-term financial commitment. For anyone EV-curious but still on the fence, a one-year lease on a car as characterful as the Abarth 600e could be one of the most appealing ways to make the switch, even if only temporarily.
