You have a Spotify subscription and a Netflix subscription – so why not a car subscription? For many people, that’s changing. In fact, we’ve seen a 40% year-on-year increase in demand for our vehicle subscriptions.
So, what’s kickstarted this car subscription revolution, why are people choosing it over other options and what are they driving that makes it so irresistible? Today we’ll dive into just that.
Read on to find out why car subscription is so popular and discover our top 10 subscription cars of 2025 so far.
Why choose a car subscription?
Car subscription brings a whole host of benefits that tip the scales in its favour for so many drivers. These include:
- No huge initial payments: unlike buying a car outright
- Drive new cars more frequently: when your 28 days is up simply roll on or pick a new car
- Zero stress: with servicing, road tax, insurance and more included in your plan
- Real flexibility: when you don’t need the car you can just cancel your subscription
- No hidden fees: for swapping your car and no deposit required
Top 10 car subscriptions of 2025 so far
Car subscription offers some brilliant benefits for both businesses looking to help their employees get from A to B and those looking for their own personal car. But what are these people driving that has made them instant fans of car subscription? Let’s take a look at our top 10 car subscriptions of 2025 so far.
1. BYD Seal-U (PHEV)
The BYD Seal-U has gone down a storm with our car subscription customers – and is it any wonder? A sleek and spacious hybrid, the Seal-U offers everything you could want from a car. An elegant interior, a huge screen and sat nav, plus with 313mpg and low emissions, you can sleep easy knowing you’re doing your bit for the planet – all while driving a car you love.
In a world where EV car subscription is growing ever more popular, expect to see more of these on the streets.
2. Volvo XC60 (PHEV)
Fast approaching that top spot is the Volvo XC60 – another EV car subscription and an automatic plug-in hybrid that our customers can’t get enough of. The Volvo XC60 is jam-packed with everything you’d expect from a modern premium SUV – a 2.0-litre petrol hybrid engine, 360° parking cameras, panoramic glass roof, a state-of-the-art entertainment and navigation system and so much more.
It’s easy to see why the Volvo XC60 is one of our top car subscriptions.
3. Land Rover Discovery Commercial
No list of top car subscriptions would be complete without a Land Rover – and this time it’s the Land Rover Discovery Commercial. Big, bold and beautiful, it’s the SUV you’ve always dreamed of. But don’t let its looks deceive you – it’s wildly practical if you want it to be. A 2,997cc turbocharged diesel, leather upholstery, modern integrated sat nav – it’s a subscription car that ticks all the boxes.
4. Volkswagen Polo
Revered for generations – and for very good reason – the Volkswagen Polo has always been a favourite for drivers across the UK, and now it’s one of our top subscription cars. While it may not be an SUV like the cars above it on the list, it’s earned its spot.
A nippy 1.0-litre, the Polo also features Bluetooth, USB-C connectivity and much more – plus it’s one of the most affordable car subscriptions available. It’s a great little car, perfect for everyday life – you just can’t go wrong with a Polo.
5. BYD Seal Saloon (EV)
A second appearance on the list for EV giants BYD – and this time it’s with the Seal Saloon. While it may be a little more compact than the Seal-U, it packs the same luxury as its SUV counterpart.
Fully electric, the Seal Saloon boasts an 83kWh battery, premium upholstery, that unbeatable entertainment and display system and much more. Plus, its impressive 350-mile range makes it ideal for both short and long-distance journeys.
The Seal Saloon is truly an unmissable EV car subscription.
6. Kia Sportage
A first appearance for Kia in our top 10 car subscriptions of 2025 – and it’s with the Sportage. The Sportage has proven wildly popular with both subscriptions and our other short-term leases, and it’s easy to see why.
An automatic gearbox, sat nav, Bluetooth connectivity – the list goes on. But we think the best thing about the Sportage is the space. There’s room for all the family, whether you’re travelling abroad or just making a quick shopping trip.
7. BYD Dolphin Hatchback (EV)
And that’s a hat-trick – three BYD EV car subscriptions in our top 10. This time it’s the turn of the Dolphin Hatchback.
Small and nippy, the Dolphin is perfect for anyone who doesn’t need the space of a saloon or SUV – but don’t let its size fool you. It’s packed with excellent features that have earned it a well-deserved spot in the top 10 car subscriptions of 2025.
Elegant leather-faced upholstery, parking sensors, alloy wheels and a 204bhp electric engine – the Dolphin is an exceptional vehicle. It’s affordable and with a range of 265 miles, it’s ideal for both city drivers and long-distance cruisers.
8. Range Rover Evoque
The Range Rover Evoque will never go out of style – which is probably one of the reasons it features in our top 10 subscription cars of 2025… That, and the 2.0-litre diesel engine, premium leather upholstery, sat nav system, parking sensors – and did we mention the 204bhp?
It looks beautiful, it drives beautifully – it’s genuinely hard to find anything wrong with the Evoque.
9. Kia EV3 (EV)
A second entry from Kia with its EV3 Electric Hatchback. It’s proving incredibly popular as an EV car subscription, not least because of its mammoth range – a huge 375 miles. While this Kia is a long-journey workhorse, manufacturer hasn’t skimped on features – Bluetooth connectivity, adaptive cruise control, sat nav, it’s got everything you could possibly dream of.
10. Jeep Avenger Hatchback
And last but not least in our top 10 subscription cars is the incredible Jeep Avenger. Both rugged and beautiful, the Avenger has something for everyone – a spacious interior, the latest tech, ultimate functionality and that authentic Jeep capability should your journey take you to tough places.
It also features a 1.2-litre petrol engine, premium upholstery, five doors, sat nav and much more. We can’t really think of a reason why you wouldn’t love the Avenger.
