Round 1: Range and Efficiency

·         Kia EV3: The clear winner for maximum range. Its top-tier 81.4kWh battery offers a class-leading 375 miles of range, which is exceptional for a car of its size.

·         Renault 5 E-Tech: The 52kWh version of the Renault 5 delivers a respectable 252 miles of range, which is plenty for most drivers. It's a great choice for those who do not require the longest range.

·         MG4 EV: The Long Range version provides up to 281 miles of range, offering an excellent balance of range and affordability.

·          

·         Round 2: Practicality and Space

·          

·         Kia EV3: Designed as a family SUV, the EV3 dominates in this category. Its 460-litre boot and spacious cabin make it the best option for families or those who need maximum cargo space.

·         MG4 EV: The MG4 offers more boot space than the Renault 5, at 363 litres, and a decent amount of room in the rear seats, making it a very practical family hatchback.

·         Renault 5 E-Tech: While surprisingly practical for a compact city car, its 326-litre boot and tighter rear seats place it last in this comparison. However, it's still bigger than many of its direct city car rivals.

Round 3: Interior and Technology

·         Renault 5 E-Tech: Offers a fun and vibrant cabin with a sharp, Google-powered infotainment system and user-friendly physical climate controls.

·         Kia EV3: Provides a high-tech, premium-feeling interior featuring twin 12.3-inch displays as standard on entry-level models, plus a comprehensive list of features.

·         MG4 EV: The interior is well-built and functional, focusing on providing good features for the price. While it may not feel as premium as the other two, it still offers excellent technology for the money.

The Verdict

·         Lease the Kia EV3 if: You need the most range and practicality for family life. Its large boot and market-leading range make it perfect for long journeys and daily errands.

·         Lease the Renault 5 E-Tech if: You want a compact EV with a unique, retro-cool style, a fun-to-drive nature, and a great infotainment system for urban life.

·         Lease the MG4 EV if: You want the best balance of affordability, range, and practicality. It offers incredible value for money and a great all-around driving experience.

Professional & user-friendly
It was a pleasure doing business - efficient, professional and responded quickly to my queries. Buying a new car is a big (for me!) financial commitment, but doing so over the internet not via a dealer was also challenging (especially for my wife!) - however, initial due-diligence checks and the interactions resolved any concerns......my new Kia Sportage GT-Line HEV was delivered a few days ago, no delivery issues and it looks and drives great! Most important result - a very happy partner!!

Excellent Service
Second car purchased through Broker4Cars and on both occasions had excellent service and best possible price. During 20 week waiting time kept well informed of situation and all questions answered by helpful company rep. Anyone having second thoughts about buying online should have no worries when dealing with Broker4Cars

New Car Purchase - Hyundai Santa Fe
I would highly recommend this service. The price was better than the dealership (c. £2k after broker fee), the service was excellent throughout and the car was delivered to the door on time.
The only very minor disappointment was the car was dirty on arrival but the delivery driver offered to get it cleaned before leaving.

The whole experience with the purchase is made very easy and i would gladly recommend to any body wishing to purchase a new vehicle

First time car broker deal - better than
We went to the main dealer showroom, knew what we wanted but just didn't trust the salesmen's claims we could break their 48 month finance contract ( used to offer a dealer discount) after 6 months without penalty . So what were our alternatives. We considered other brokers, but after some research were more than impressed with the comments regarding Broker4Cars over all others. Somewhat nervously we contacted Broker4Cars, bearing in mind we had never bought a car this way before and therefore were very cautious about the whole thing. Having spoken to him, who put us completely at ease, we were highly impressed with the whole service we received from him and the team. He sourced the exact car that we wanted ( garage told us it wouldn't be available for 8 months from the factory !) within a week and 2 weeks later it arrived on our drive. The price that we paid for the car was really competitive and came out far less than what the garage salesman was offering including their dealers discount/incentive for signing their finance deal. The whole Broker4Cars process was simple and faultless and at no time did we have any concerns, even when it came to paying over a huge chunk of cash. Couldn't recommend Broker4Cars enough and definately use them again.
