2020 (and the first part of 2021) has been a challenging year for many of us but we've found that the desire to lease cars is stronger than ever. As dealerships have spent most of the last year closed or working with a limited capacity, we've seen a surge in demand for ordering vehicles online.
Throughout the pandemic, a lot of people have had their spending habits cut: no pubs, gyms, restaurants or holidays. But you have still been able to order a new car or van online and have it delivered right to your door.
What has 2021 looked like in terms of car leasing?
During the first part of 2021, we've had some fantastic Volkswagen Golf, T-Roc and Tiguan personal and business car leasing offers available for our customers so it's no surprise that a whopping 47.1% of the vehicles that we've delivered in 2021 has been a Volkswagen. BMW follows behind Volkswagen, thanks to the wildly popular BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. Audi comes third place, with the A3 Sportback being the most popular model.
You may be wondering where the electric manufacturers are in the top 5 manufacturers? While we have seen a clear and significant rise in people wanting to lease an electric vehicle, the delivery numbers are not yet close to challenging the numbers of combustion engine cars - although we can expect this to change in the coming years with the continued rise of Tesla and the likes of Nio and Lucid Motors.
Although car leasing prices haven't dropped because of the pandemic, our data suggests that they haven't risen.
What does the rest of 2021 and beyond look like?
The future looks extremely promising for the leasing industry. Because of the pandemic people have been getting more used to the idea of shopping online. The fact that the government closed all dealerships has also helped with the growth of the leasing industry. As for which manufacturers will be popular in the future, that remains to be seen but we should expect to see the usual big named German manufacturers at the top, such as; BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Mercedes.
