MG Lease Deals Across the Range

MG has gone from a handful of cars to eleven models in a few years, and the range now covers everything from a supermini to a seven seat plug-in hybrid to a two seat electric convertible. The common thread is a seven year warranty, which is longer than almost anything else on the market.

The range moves quickly, which is worth knowing when you are reading reviews. The MG5 EV estate has gone, killed off by the MG4 according to MG's own product boss. The ZS is no longer electric at all. And there are now two cars wearing an IM badge that are sold through MG dealers. All of that has happened recently enough that plenty of comparison sites have not caught up.

Which MG Models Can You Lease in the UK?

Two points that trip people up. The MG4 Urban is a separate, smaller car sold alongside the MG4, not a trim of it. And the ZS is petrol or hybrid only: there is no electric ZS any more, and the MGS5 EV is the car that took its place.

What Is MG IM, and Is It an MG?

This causes genuine confusion, so here it is plainly. IM is a separate brand owned by SAIC, the company that owns MG. The name stands for Intelligence in Motion. It was founded in 2020 and launched in China in 2022, and it came to the UK in 2025.

In practice, for you as a customer: the cars are sold through MG dealers, marketed as the MG IM5 and MG IM6, and serviced through the MG network. But they wear the IM logo rather than the MG octagon, which is the first thing you will notice when one turns up. If you were expecting an MG badge on the bonnet, that is worth knowing before delivery day rather than on it.

They are also the most capable cars MG sells. The IM5 is an executive saloon that does up to 441 miles with the larger battery, and the IM6 is the coupe SUV version of the same thing. Range figures for the IM6 are reported differently depending where you look, so ask us to confirm the WLTP figure on the exact derivative before you commit.

What Is the MG Warranty?

This is MG's strongest card and it is worth getting the detail right, because it is quoted loosely all over the internet.

The vehicle warranty is seven years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first, with no mileage limit at all in the first twelve months. It transfers to each new owner while it is unexpired, which matters to whoever has the car after you rather than to you directly, but it tells you something about how MG rates its own build. Anti perforation cover runs seven years, conditional on an annual MG bodywork inspection, and paint is covered for three years.

The high voltage battery has its own separate warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles, and it is triggered if capacity falls below 70 per cent of original, at which point MG either repairs the pack to restore capacity above that level or replaces it. One honest note: MG's own current warranty document would not open when we checked, so that battery term comes from an MG franchised dealer and a retailer rather than from MG directly. We will confirm the exact wording for you before you sign, which on a seven or eight year promise is worth doing properly.

What Owners Actually Complain About

We are going to be honest with you about the one thing that comes up again and again, because it is not a specification you can read off a sheet and it affects every day you drive the car.

The driver assistance systems are not well calibrated. Auto Express, reviewing the MG4 Urban in September 2026, called the driver monitoring system "infuriating", found the speed limit warnings sometimes simply wrong, and described the safety systems as intrusive and fiddly to switch off. MG also finished 29th of 30 brands in Auto Express's Driver Power 2026 owner survey.

That is not a reason to rule MG out. On value, equipment, warranty and electric range these cars are genuinely hard to beat, which is exactly why they sell. But if beeping, bonging driver aids are the sort of thing that would wear you down over three years, go and drive one for half an hour on a real road, including a stretch with variable speed limits, before you commit. We would rather you found that out on a test drive than in month two.

Leasing an MG on Business

Seven of MG's eleven models are fully electric, which means they sit in the lowest company car tax band, and that is where MG's value proposition becomes genuinely compelling on a business lease. A driver can end up in a well equipped electric SUV for a monthly tax cost that would barely cover a small petrol hatchback. Those bands change each tax year, so take the current figures from your accountant.

The MGS9 is worth a look if you need seven seats and cannot go fully electric, since a plug-in hybrid with 62 miles of electric range covers most commutes without the engine starting. And if you want to see how MG compares against the rest of the electric market on a salary sacrifice scheme, tell us your mileage and we will put the shortlist together honestly, including the cars that beat it.
