Overview
- For full-year 2025, Omoda E5 ranked first among Octopus Electric Vehicles’ UK leasing customers, with Tesla Model Y, Mercedes EQB, Cupra Born and MG4 rounding out the top five.
- In Q4 2025, the newly launched Jaecoo E5 moved into first place ahead of the Omoda E5 and Tesla Model Y, according to Octopus data.
- Octopus says it began selling the Omoda E5 in September 2025, and within three months it had become one of the company’s top-performing cars.
- The company attributes late‑year shifts to growing trust in challenger brands and to competitive leasing offers, including free home chargers and monthly deals advertised from roughly £269–£319 on select models.
- Looking to 2026, Octopus expects increased emphasis on small EV hatchbacks and the arrival of vehicle‑to‑grid‑ready models from BMW, Kia and Renault.
