The 5 best family cars to lease

When it comes to finding the best family car to lease, there's more to consider than when it is just you as the driver.

Firstly, you will need to keep your children and partner comfortable and safe, and the contract hire car needs to be practical and functional.

There's no doubt that car manufacturers have created spacious vehicles with family-friendly features and personal and business leasing offers a cost-effective way to get behind the wheel of a brand-new car.

 

Best family hatchback to lease

The perennial favourite, the Volkswagen Golf (pictured above) is possibly the best family hatchback to lease.

The new eighth-generation model has more features and technology, and this is an impressive offering.

The boot size is 381 litres, and this is a practical choice for families.

Standard equipment includes a 10-inch colour display with satnav and a 10-inch digital dashboard.

Drivers also get to enjoy climate control, adaptive cruise control, collision warning and rear parking sensors.

It's a refined and premium offering with impressive Golf leasing deals available from Tilsun Leasing.

 

Best family car to lease

For those families needing more space, the Vauxhall Insignia is worth looking at for those wanting the best family car to lease.

Vauxhall still offers value for money with its vehicles and we particularly like the 1.5-litre turbodiesel unit that offers fuel economy and performance.

However, for those who like to drive, the chassis delivers good handling and comfort and the diesel's return around 60 mpg.

Standard equipment in the sportier trims, for example, the SRi VX-Line Nav have an eight-inch touchscreen with satnav, rear and front parking sensors, control, dual-zone climate control and various driver assistance systems.

There's a lot to like about the Insignia and while it's been around for some time, it's still a great family car leasing offering.

 

An affordable family SUV to lease

The market for SUVs in the UK has grown hugely in recent years and finding an affordable family SUV to lease is no longer straightforward.

However, we like the Renault Captur which is among the best small SUVs on offer with its value for money attraction.

Look at the better spec trims and drivers will get to enjoy extra safety kit when carrying their children around.

Among the features are autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist and lane departure warning.

The boot size is 536 litres and there’s a surprisingly spacious cabin.

Around town, the Captur offers a contract hire car that delivers great handling, and this is a refined and comfortable vehicle to lease.

 

Best premium family SUV to lease

For those who want a car with a better spec of safety equipment, the best premium family SUV to lease is the Volvo XC40.

Drivers get to enjoy Scandinavian cool and there are some great design ideas on board.

The entry-level trim highlights the premium offering with drivers enjoying dual-zone climate control, parking sensors, cruise control and automatic high-beam LED lights.

There's also a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, along with a nine-inch portrait touchscreen which is easy-to-use.

Volvo is renowned for offering lots of safety equipment and drivers get an autonomous emergency braking system with cyclist and pedestrian detection.

There's also a system to avoid oncoming cars and a system to prevent the XC40 from leaving the road.

Check out the leasing deals for the Volvo XC40 because is this is a great package that impresses in just about every area and it's a family SUV that is easy to live with.

 

The best family MPV to lease

Having looked at SUVs, the best family MPV to lease is probably the Citroen Berlingo XL.

This is a traditional people mover which was the car of choice for families before larger SUVs dominated the market.

The Berlingo offers a well-made and flexible family car and there's plenty of room in the XL trim.

Indeed, seven people can be carried in comfort and each chair will move individually.

It's also an MPV with reasonable running costs with the diesel engine returning 55 mpg.

The Berlingo is based on a van but the handling has been refined to deliver better comfort and it is easy to drive around town. This is also a very comfortable motorway cruiser.

Citroen has added lots of safety kit including rear parking sensors to help with the manoeuvring. Drivers also get air-conditioning, an eight-inch touchscreen display, satnav and smartphone connectivity to make this one of the best car lease deals around.
