BMW ELECTRIC & HYBRID LEASING DEALS - APRIL 2026
The UK's zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate is accelerating the shift toward electric and hybrid cars, and BMW has invested heavily in its electrified portfolio to meet demand. Whether you're looking at a fully electric BMW i4 for your daily commute, the executive iX for long distance travel, or a plug in hybrid 3 Series that bridges the gap between petrol and electric, leasing gives you flexibility that outright purchase simply cannot match.
With BMW electric leasing deals in 2026, you benefit from fixed monthly payments, inclusive road tax (currently £0 for BEVs), reduced Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax for company car drivers, and access to BMW's award winning Connected Drive technology. For fleet operators and business owners, the tax advantages of BMW plug-in hybrid leasing remain particularly significant.
BMW Fully Electric Models: The i Series
BMW's fully electric range - collectively known as the BMW i Series - covers everything from sporty saloons to large luxury SUVs. Here's a detailed look at each model available for electric car leasing in the UK in 2026.
BMW i4 - The Electric Gran Coupé
The BMW i4 lease remains one of the most popular electric car deals in the UK. Available as the i4 eDrive40 (single rear motor, 340hp) and i4 M50 (twin motor, 544hp), the i4 brings the classic BMW driving experience to the electric age. With up to 367 miles real world range on the eDrive40 and rapid 205kW DC charging, it's ideal for business users and private drivers alike.
BMW iX - The Electric Flagship SUV
The BMW iX lease offers something genuinely unique in the premium electric SUV segment. Powered by fifth generation eDrive technology, the iX xDrive50 produces 523hp and covers up to 380 miles on a single charge. For those seeking luxury electric car leasing, the iX sets the benchmark.
BMW i5 - The Electric Executive Saloon
The BMW i5 lease offers up to 362 miles range alongside 150kW rapid charging. Available in eDrive40 saloon or Touring (estate) bodystyle, it's particularly popular as a company car lease thanks to its generous boot space and long distance capability, perfect or driving up and down the country to meet with clients and attend networking events.
BMW i7 - The Electric Ultra-Luxury Saloon
With up to 388 miles of range and a cinema inspired rear seat experience complete with a 31 inch screen, the BMW i7 lease brings Rolls Royce levels of comfort to the electric age. Available with business contract hire, it carries significant tax advantages for executives.
BMW Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) Leasing Deals
For drivers who aren't yet ready to go fully electric, BMW plug in hybrid leasing offers an excellent middle ground. BMW's PHEV models combine a petrol engine with an electric motor and battery, providing genuine electric only range for short commutes alongside the flexibility of a combustion engine for longer trips.
All BMW PHEVs deliver outstanding performance with official electric only ranges of 35 - 50 miles depending on model. For fleet managers, BMW PHEV lease deals remain attractive given their 8 - 14% BIK tax rates (versus 37% for a comparable petrol), while HMRC's favourable treatment of ultra low emission vehicles (ULEVs) provides additional tax relief.
BMW 3 Series PHEV (330e)
The BMW 330e lease is arguably the best entry point into the PHEV world. Combining a 2.0 litre petrol engine with an 80hp electric motor, it produces 292hp combined and offers up to 41 miles of electric only driving. Its popularity as a company car lease is driven by its competitive BIK rate and low running costs.
BMW 5 Series PHEV (530e)
The BMW 530e lease sits in the heart of the executive saloon market with 299hp combined output, up to 38 miles of EV range, and available as both saloon and Touring estate. Recent updates have sharpened its charging speed and extended its EV range.
BMW X3 & X5 PHEV
The BMW X5 xDrive50e lease is one of the most popular premium SUV deals in the UK corporate fleet sector - with 489hp combined output, a 50 mile electric range, and M Sport specification available. The X3 xDrive30e offers a more accessible entry to BMW SUV PHEV leasing.
