Some new cars are being discounted by tens of thousands of pounds—and that can be bad news for the people who bought them at full price. I rank fifteen cars being heavily discounted in Britain, from the Dacia Spring to the Cupra Tavascan VZ2.
I look at why these cars are being cut so deeply, including electric-car grants, emissions targets, excess stock, reliability, company-car tax and competition between related models. I also examine how the discounts affect used values and PCP finance agreements.
Using What Car? Target Price data, Auto Trader listings, SMMT figures and real-world trade evidence, I explain which discounts could represent a genuine bargain—and which ones are warning signs for buyers and existing owners.
