Fiat Ducato

The Fiat Ducato is a no-nonsense workhorse that turns practicality into an artform, with a cavernous, flexible load area and predictable, car-like driving manners that make long days behind the wheel far less tedious. It’s equally at home with a tradesman’s kit or a camper conversion, offering sensible packaging, easy servicing and the sort of reliability that keeps surprises—and down-time—to a minimum.

Both the Alpine A290 and Abarth 600e are fun cars - the first EVs to be properly engaging to drive. Despite the list price being significantly higher (but still below the critical £40k!), the Abarth is MUCH cheaper to lease... which makes the choice something of a no brainer in terms of value for money.
