Benefits of smart Leasing
Leasing a smart offers a smart and flexible way to drive the latest model without the hefty upfront cost of buying. You’ll enjoy fixed monthly payments, making it easier to manage your budget, and road tax is usually included for the duration of the agreement. With leasing, you can upgrade to a new car every few years, so you’ll always have access to the latest technology, safety features, and fuel efficiency.
Plus, there’s no need to worry about depreciation or selling the car later—simply hand it back at the end of the term and choose your next smart. Optional maintenance packages can also give you peace of mind, covering servicing and repairs for a hassle-free experience.
