Car Deal of the Day: BMW's electric iX1 is a fun-to-drive SUV for a cool £306 a month
Enjoyable to drive 293-mile claimed range Just £306.38 a month It wasn't so long ago that we featured the pint-sized BMW iX1 electric SUV as our Deal of the Day, but since then the price has plummeted even further. Admittedly, that previously tempting deal was for the more expensive twin-motor model, but here you'll be getting more miles per charge. Advertisement - Article continues below Pink Car Leasing BMW, via the Auto Express Find A Car service, is offering the iX1 eDrive20 Sport for a bargain £306.38 a month, after an initial payment of £3,676.51. It's a three-year deal with mileage capped at 5,000 per annum. But if that's a little too limiting for you, 8,000 miles per year can be had for just £11.28 extra a month. If you're not up on BMW-speak, eDrive20 denotes the single-motor variant. All iX1s get the same 66.4kWh battery pack, but thanks to having just one motor, the eDrive20 is more efficient. BMW claims you can eke out 293 miles on a full charge, although we've found 250 miles to be more accurate in our testing. This deal gets you an entry-level Sport model, and while it is one step down from the more desirable M Sport version, the posher trim level isn't worth an extra £45-plus a month (going by current leasing deals) in our book. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Sport is no poverty version, though. BMW throws in LED front and rear lights, an electric tailgate, ambient lighting, twin digital displays using the firm's Operating System 9 with navigation and smartphone connectivity, along with front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera. In typical BMW style, the iX1 is an enjoyable car to drive and feels sportier on the road than its nearest rivals. Sharp steering with great feedback is the key here, and the iX1 just feels keener to drive on twistier roads than other small electric SUVs. It's also incredibly refined on the road, plus there's a futuristic soundtrack thanks to ambient noises composed by music producer Hans Zimmer.

Car Deal of the Day: Fiat 600e offers high-mileage EV drivers 12,000 miles a year for just £342 a month
Retro design 254-mile range; 12,000 miles a year for £342.03 a month Love the retro flair of the Fiat 500e but feel it's a bit too small on the inside? The 600e is its bigger brother, combining similar levels of panache with a welcome dose of practicality. But, despite its larger size, you can get one for a remarkably small price even if you're a high mileage driver. Advertisement - Article continues below If you scour the Auto Express Find a Car service, you'll find that Pink Car Leasing is offering the fashionable Fiat for £342.03 a month. Not the most eye-catching price, admittedly, but this deal isn't for the 5,000-mile limit we usually feature. You get a whopping 12,000 miles a year. That gives fantastic flexibility for higher mileage drivers who don't want to be stung for travelling further during their lease agreements. This is a 48-month deal which requires £4,104.31 to be put down as an initial payment – not the cheapest but remember this is a 12,000-miles-a-year deal. The package gets you a 600e in 'Red' trim – that's the name of it, although it does also come painted in a vibrant shade of red as standard. Also included is climate control, rear parking sensors, LED headlights, a digital instrument display and a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Fiat also throws in a heat pump to improve efficiency during the winter. The 600e shares a lot of its components with the likes of the Peugeot E-2008 and Vauxhall Mokka Electric, so under the cutesy styling lies a 54kWh battery pack which gives a claimed 254 miles of range. A 154bhp electric motor gives keen performance, while supple suspension gives a cosseting and refined driving experience.
