TWO of the best superminis in the UK today are also two of the cheapest models to lease. There is an even cheaper way to get into a supermini - some SEAT Ibiza deals just dip below our two options here but these are two of the strongest contenders on the market, and where we'd be spending our cash.
First up is the Vauxhall Corsa. The best-selling car of 2022 comes in at just £179 per month if you're able to place a nine-month up-front payment - just a bit more than £1,600 - and limit your driving to 5,000 miles per year. For that, you're getting the entry-level Design trim, but kit is still generous; 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard.
The cabin is smartly laid out, but not the most spacious in this class, while light controls and modest dimensions mean that the Corsa is easy to drive around town and over longer distances.
The alternative, for £182 per month, is the Renault Clio. While a revised Clio has just been revealed (Issue 1,776), the current car is still a very strong contender. In fact, it has won the Supermini category in our New Car Awards three years running.
