New Motability Cars 2022 | What New Cars Are Coming On Motability (2024)

Alfa Romeo revealed the new Tonale SUV concept at the Geneva Motor Show way back in 2019, and now several year later the actual vehicle has finally been unveiled. It’s quite a bit smaller than the larger Stelvio model, and will be available to order with a range of hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engines when it arrives in the summer. The Tonale (named after a famous Italian mountain pass) will compete against rivals like the Audi Q2 and the BMW X1 and X2. Pricing for the Tonale hasn’t been fully announced, but the recommended retail price for some trim levels should be low enough for it to hopefully feature on the Motability Scheme list.

The all-new BMW 2 Series coupe looks very different to any other current 2 Series model, and it's the only car in the 2 Series range to feature a rear-wheel drive setup. The engine range is shared with the current 1 Series range, as is the interior design. Inside, drivers will find the front sports seats mounted low in front of the satisfyingly thick M Sport steering wheel and a driver-focused dashboard.

The first generation BMW 2 Series Coupe was available to lease through the Motability Scheme, so there's a good chance that this second generation version will too.

Citroen returns to its quirky roots with the unusual C5 X, a car that could perhaps be defined as an estate, a hatchback, a fastback and a crossover all in one. It's an unusual combination, but we think the right kind of Motability customer might rather like it.

Hopefully the flagship Plug-in Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 derivative will be added to the Motability Scheme list soon after launch.

The next generation of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is scheduled to launch in March 2022. It will be built on a new platform (that will also underpin the new X1 and X2) but it keeps the MPV look of its predecessor.

The updated engine line-up includes new plug-in hybrids and BMW's second-generation 48V mild hybrid technology, while the option of 7 seats (previously known as the 'Grand Tourer') won't be available with this model (which should improve the interior and the overall boot space). It will also come with BMW's new iDrive 8 operating system and seven-speed automatic transmission as standard.

Expected BMW 2 Series Active Tourer Motability launch date: TBC

The second generation DS 4 compact premium hatch will probably deserve more recognition than it'll get when it's released here in the UK. For us, this will be one of the most interesting and distinctive cars of its kind in this part of the market. There are sharp looks, a stand-out cabin and PHEV engine tech if you want it. In short, there's lots to like, but it'll probably come at a premium price when it does join the Motability Scheme list in 2022.

A fully electric version may also appear on the Motability Scheme at a later date.

When added to the scheme UK Motability customers will get to choose between the standard 5 door Dacia Sandero hatch and the beefed-up Sandero Stepway, which adds roof rails, a higher ride height and rugged plastic cladding. This third generation Dacia is built on the group's latest CMF-B platform (which also underpins the current Nissan Juke and Renault Clio) which means there are much better engines fitted in this latest model.

The all-new Dacia Sandero is expected to remain one of the cheapest vehicles available to lease through the Motability Scheme, with many models likely to cost less than the full allowance.

Expected Dacia Sandero And Dacia Sandero Stepway launch date: TBC

Romanian brand Dacia could enter the UK electric car market for the first time in 2022. Already on sale in Europe, the Spring EV is a rebadged version of the Renault K-ZE which is built and already on sale in China. When it (hopefully) arrives in the UK it is expected to be one of the cheapest electric vehicles around. Size wise, this car is around 3.73 metres long, which puts it somewhere between the Volkswagen up! and the MINI hatchback – although the Dacia gets more of a SUV-style look.

It uses a small 27.4kWh battery and a 44bhp electric motor, giving the Dacia Spring a WLTP range of 143 miles.

You'd have thought that every conceivable market niche in the motor industry would have already been filled. Yet here's one segment that has always been ignored: the really affordable 7-seat family car. And who better to fill that niche than Dacia?

The company has taken its popular Sandero and stretched the platform enough to insert a third seating row, creating the Dacia Jogger. These additional seats don't slide or fold into the floor, so when you're not using them and you need extra boot space, you have to take them out (fortunately, they only weigh 10kg each), freeing up as much as 712-litres of space. If you need more room, the middle row seats roll forward and split 60:40. Dacia say the maximum carrying capacity is 1819-litres.

The Jogger has even been engineered with the option of Dacia's first hybrid engine.

Expected Dacia Jogger Motability launch date: TBC

Dacia first previewed a concept for the new Bigster back in January 2021, and this new large SUV from the Romanian brand could make its debut early in 2022. We don't know much about it yet, but the firm has confirmed that the Bigster will measure 4.6 metres in length, which means it'll be roughly the same size as a Skoda Kodiaq, a Volkswagen Tiguan and a Nissan X-Trail.

At that size, it might even be available to order with seven seats.

Expected Dacia Bigster Motability launch date: TBC

Fiat is planning a series of new vehicles thought to be based on the 2019 'Centoventi' concept (pictured). The new Panda will be one of these models, and it's thought that the Italian brand is working on a crossover version to sit alongside the regular 5 door hatchback.

A small petrol engine is expected to kick off the range in late 2022, with mild-hybrids and possibly a full EV version to follow.

Expected Fiat Panda Motability launch date: TBC

The latest Honda HR-V is part of a new generation of far more efficient compact SUVs. It's a self charging full-Hybrid with a really clever powertrain that can be driven in electric-only mode at low speeds. There's also a sophisticated interior that retains the previous model's neat 'Magic' folding seats and a minimalist dash layout.

Update May 2022 - the Honda HR-V has been temporarily removed from the Motability Scheme list due to extended lead times and ongoing production issues.

Hyundai has unveiled yet another option at the more affordable end of the small SUV segment. The new Bayon sits just below the Kona in the Hyundai line up and will be seen as competition for models like the Nissan Juke and Vauxhall Crossland.

The Bayon - which is named after the city of Bayonne in southwest France - shares its platform and engines with the latest Hyundai i20, which means it is also powered by a mild-hybrid, turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engine.

Hyundai says the new Bayon will offer drivers advanced connectivity technology rarely found in this segment, with what the firm claims is 'a best-in-class digital co*ckpit and top-line infotainment features'.

Kia unveiled a production-ready version of the all-new 2022 Kia Niro at the Seoul Mobility Show that reinforced the brands new design direction. The Kia Niro is an incredibly popular car here in the UK, and the second-generation version will build on the original car's versatility by also being offered with a full suite of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains. Significant efficiency and performance boosts are expected across the range.

Expected Kia Niro Motability launch date: TBC

The Sportage is Kia’s best-selling model here in the UK, but the fourth-generation version has been on sale for a while so it's overdue an overhaul. The new fifth-generation Sportage, expected to hit UK showrooms towards the back end of 2021 or the start of 2022, features a radical new design and will also come with the option of electrified powertrains, including a choice of mild-hybrid, full-hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology alongside both petrol and diesel engines.

The new Sportage will share many of its parts with the latest Hyundai Tucson (just like the old Sportage does), including the same engines, connectivity tech and safety systems.

Mercedes-Benz has long needed a relatively affordable all-electric family car. BMW has its i3. Volkswagen has the ID.3 and ID.4. So Mercedes has pulled out all the stops to bring us the EQA.

There wasn't time for the Stuttgart brand to construct a bespoke electric platform for this model, so it sits on the same underpinnings as the compact GLA crossover that it's based on, and as a result it's very similar inside and out.

Mainstream versions of the EQA are based around a single powertrain and battery package, dubbed the 'EQA 250' and rated at 265 miles from a single charge

MG have announced a significant update for the 2022 ZS EV, which includes an improved driving range and a fresh new look. The popular crossover can now be ordered with a 72kWh long range battery that offers a range of 273 miles per charge, compared with the 163 miles that could be achieved in the older version. Another model, equipped with a smaller 51kWh battery (and a range of 199 miles) will also be available.

The new 2022 ZS EV will come with MG's latest iSmart infotainment system and smartphone connectivity, through which various car, climate, security and charging functions can be controlled remotely.

MG have revealed a brand new all-electric 5 door hatchback, the MG 4 EV.

At around 4.3 meters in length, the MG 4 will be around the same size as the current Volkswagen Golf, and will available here in the UK with either a 51kWh battery (with an estimated 218 mile range), or a larger 64kWh unit (up to 281 mile range).

This new model will utilise MG’s innovative new Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), which is set to underpin the next generation of MG models.

The new Nissan Ariya aims to rejuvenate the mid-sized part of the EV market. This is a coupe crossover that really appears to have the 'want one' factor that's missing from so many electric vehicles in the family segment. It's very boldly styled, has an impressive EV driving range of up to 310 miles and there's a high-performance 4WD version too.

With this car, Nissan will be hoping to attract drivers who would never previously have considered an EV.

Here we have the next-generation Nissan X-Trail, which the Japanese firm revealed at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. When it arrives in the UK, it'll be one of the largest SUVs you can order through the Motability Scheme, competing with other large seven-seat SUVs like the Skoda Kodiaq, the Seat Tarraco and the Peugeot 5008.

Like the new 2021 Nissan Qashqai, it will come with a smart new hybrid drive system to improve efficiency.

Expected Nissan X-Trail Motability launch date: TBC

Peugeot’s 5 door family hatchback and estate gets a radical redesign for 2022 that echoes the design of the French firms latest 208 and 2008 models. You can also see from the picture the new Peugeot badge, which makes its debut on the new 308.

You'll be able to opt for a plug-in hybrid if you want better efficiency or pick from a 1.2-litre petrol or a 1.5-litre diesel for your Peugeot 308, with all engines featuring an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard.

Peugeot has also confirmed that both the 308 hatchback and 308 SW estate will have the option of a full electric powertrain from 2023, with a larger battery and motor than the smaller e-208.

The last Peugeot 308 wasn't a car many Motability customers would have chosen in preference to a Golf, let alone anything premium, but this new third generation is a very proposition.

Renault has revealed the new fifth generation version of its popular Megane family car. Called the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric, the new model is an all-electric five-door that's the first of Renault’s new ‘Generation 2.0’ electric vehicles.

The new Megane is built on the new Renault-Nissan CMF-EV platform that's been specifically designed for battery-powered vehicles. The car will be available with a choice of either a 40kWh or 60kWh battery, with a maximum range of 186 and 292 miles respectively.

Despite sharing the name, this new EV doesn't look like the current Megane. Instead, the new Megane E-Tech adopts more of a crossover-style shape and looks set to compete with existing electric models like the Volkswagen ID.3, the Vauxhall Mokka-e and the Citroen E-C4.

Expected Renault Megane E-Tech Electric Motability launch date: TBC

Renault will launch an all-new SUV called the Austral in late 2022 to replace their Kadjar model. The new vehicle will sit on the same CMF-C platform as the Nissan Qashqai, and is expected to be slightly larger than the outgoing Kadjar. At launch the Austral will be powered by an upgraded version of the French firm’s 1.3 TCe turbo petrol engine. Expect electrified powertrains to be introduced at a later date.

Skoda's fourth generation Fabia now sits on the same platform as the Seat Ibiza, Audi A1 and Volkswagen Polo and as a result benefits from new connectivity options, driver assistance systems and safety technology. The engine options are all three-cylinder petrols, tuned to various power outputs. The one to pick will be the VW Group's 1.0-litre TSI turbo engine, offered in 95 and 110PS states of tune.

Skoda has revealed a new facelifted version of its Skoda Karoq SUV.

Two new optional safety packs are also available. The updated Skoda Karoq will be available in just three trim levels: SE Drive, SE L and SportLine.

Toyota has revealed a new SUV version of their popular Corolla, called the Corolla Cross, that will go on sale next autumn. This new vehicle will sit somewhere between the C-HR and RAV4 in Toyota's SUV line-up, and unsurprisingly the new model shares most of its interior and engine tech with the rest of the Corolla range, which means it'll benefit from Toyota’s impressive fifth-generation hybrid powertrain.

When it launches the new Toyota Yaris Cross will be the Japanese brand’s smallest and most affordable SUV. Almost a decade after Toyota discontinued its last small SUV (remember the Urban Cruiser?), the new Yaris Cross is, as its name suggests, based on the Yaris hatchback, but it gets a rugged and distinct look all of its own.

All models will come with hybrid technology, featuring a 1.5 litre petrol engine working in conjunction with an electric motor and a CVT automatic gearbox.

When released it will be up against other small SUVs - like the Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur, the Vauxhall Mokka and the Ford Puma - for the attention of Motability customers.

Toyota will be updating the bestselling Corolla with a raft of specification, design and engine improvements - including the introduction of its latest generation petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain.

The Corolla will continue to be offered with a choice of 1.8- and 2.0-litre hybrid powertrains, but both have been enhanced to bring improved power alongside reduced emissions.

Inside, the updated Corolla range will include a new infotainment system running through a larger central touchscreen. There's also a choice of new exterior colours and interior trims.

Vauxhall have given the next-generation Astra a bold new look, with a redesigned front grille and bumper similar to the new 'Visor' design we've already seen on the latest Mokka SUV.

Vauxhall have announced that the new Astra range will feature two plug-in hybrid options – the same 180PS and 225PS units from the Peugeot 308. Using a 1.6 litre petrol engine and an electric motor, they will have a zero emission range of up to 35 miles.

There will also be a 1.2 litre petrol engine option, with 110PS or 130PS, and a 1.5-litre diesel (130PS), in combination with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox.

A fully electric Astra-e is likely to be added to the Motability range in early 2023.

VW has revealed its new entry-level SUV, the Volkswagen Taigo. The new compact model will be the German brand's first coupe-style SUV in Europe. It's larger than the current T-Cross and will be based on the same platform as the new Volkswagen Polo.

Despite its coupe-like sloping roof, Volkswagen promises an impressive interior space and a 438-litre boot.

The Taigo should go on sale here in the UK before the end of 2021 with the first deliveries following soon after, which means it will probably be 2022 until it becomes available for Motability customers.
