Engine Types

Choosing the right engine type is a key factor when leasing an estate car. Here’s an overview of the available options:

  • Petrol: Petrol engines are great for short trips and city driving. They are generally quieter and cheaper upfront compared to diesel, making them suitable for drivers with lower annual mileage.
  • Diesel: Diesel engines provide more torque and better fuel economy on long journeys. They are ideal for those who frequently travel longer distances or need extra pulling power.
  • Hybrid: Combining an internal combustion engine with electric power, hybrids offer better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Hybrid estate cars are perfect for mixed driving—city commutes and longer trips alike.
  • Electric: Fully electric estate cars produce zero emissions and have lower running costs. They are best suited for drivers with access to charging facilities and who primarily drive shorter distances.

Transmission: Manual vs. Automatic

  • Manual Transmission: Typically offers more control, better fuel efficiency, and lower maintenance costs. Manual transmissions are ideal for drivers who enjoy being engaged with the driving experience.
  • Automatic Transmission: Provides a smoother, easier driving experience, especially in stop-and-go traffic or on long journeys. Automatic gearboxes are increasingly efficient and are popular among drivers seeking convenience and comfort. Many of the larger models are now available as automatic only.
