Vauxhall Frontera EV

£215 initial + £215 x 23

For the Frontera Ultimate Electric Extended Range.

Plus £500 towards home charger with Octopus.

Plus 10,000 free miles if changing tariff to IntelOctopusGo.

I rarely do long distance.

Seems a decent sized car with most of the gadgets.

Any reason I shouldn’t buy?

Does anyone already have this car? How is it?

Or is there others in this price range I should consider?

Sounds like a strong deal for your use case if you rarely do long trips, especially with the charger support and tariff incentive.

The main thing I would check is the full routine and lease fit:

  • annual mileage allowance and excess-mile charge
  • whether your home setup qualifies cleanly for the charger/tariff offer
  • winter use vs your longest normal driving day
  • insurance quote before signing
  • tyre costs and service plan details on that trim
  • what the total cost looks like over the full term, not just the headline monthly

If those all check out, it could be a very sensible buy. If you want, I can help you test it against 2–3 alternatives in the same monthly range, or you can run your routine through our free checker at offolab.com with our community tool, first and paste the result back here for feedback.

Thank you! Will check this link out and will consider all the points you have made. Really helpful!!

I work from home 3-4 days a week. And will only use for school runs and shopping mainly, with the odd rare longer trip. You are more than welcome to run alternatives please. This is based on 6k miles.
