The 2025 social leasing scheme has just made a comeback in France, and manufacturers have had to comply with the government’s requirements to offer leases of less than €200/month excluding options, and at least one offer for less than €140/month. City cars, SUVs or family cars – which models are eligible?
France
Naturally, as part of a French initiative, French manufacturers are offering a wide range of cars. At Renault, the objective is clear, and the Managing Director of Renault France, Guillaume Sicard, confirmed this on his social networks: to facilitate access to electric mobility for all French people, without sacrificing quality, innovation or local production. The Renault 5 E-Tech electric is available from €120/month, the Renault 4 E-Tech electric from €155/month and the Mégane E-Tech electric from €195/month.
Peugeot offers a wide range of models: the e-208 Allure from €120/month, the e-2008 Style from €150/month, the e-308 Style from €200/month and the e-Rifter Allure from €155/month. Citroën completes the range with the ë-C3 You from €95/month, the ë-C3 Aircross You from €119/month, the ë-C4 You from €179/month and the ë-Berlingo Plus from €149/month.
