The vehicle specification displayed on our website is supplied by a third party known as CAP. Whilst every effort is made to ensure this information is accurate, it should only be used as a guide and no decision should be made to lease a specific vehicle without verification from either the manufacturer’s website or the franchised dealer. This includes any ICE vehicle fuel consumption and electric vehicle range data which may vary based on your driving style, added vehicle options, road, and weather conditions. Please check your order carefully to ensure it suits your exact requirements and if you wish to check or verify the exact specification of a particular vehicle, please speak to your sales consultant.

If you are considering leasing a diesel vehicle, please read our What You Need To Know Before Leasing a Diesel Vehicle guide to ensure the vehicle is right for you before proceeding with your order.
