Mercedes Leasing

What unites the line-up is a consistent design language, a strong cabin-first mindset, and an approach to technology that aims to make the car feel calmer and easier to live with rather than simply more complex. Mercedes-Benz also remains a major force in electrification. Alongside the established EQ family, “with EQ Technology” models sit within core nameplates, signalling a more integrated strategy for EVs and electrified powertrains as the range evolves through MY2026.

For leasing, Mercedes-Benz works particularly well because the brand’s value is not tied to one body style or one type of buyer. Whether you want compact convenience, business-mileage comfort, family practicality, or a true performance flagship through Mercedes-AMG, the structure of the range makes it easy to choose the right fit and then tailor the contract around how you actually drive.

Mercedes-Benz on Lease: The Smart Way to Spec Up

Mercedes-Benz is well suited to leasing because it lets you focus on the experience of the car, not the long tail of ownership. For many drivers, the appeal is simple: you can drive a higher-specification vehicle for a predictable monthly cost, often with access to trims, powertrains or body styles that would feel like a stretch when purchasing outright.

Leasing also makes particular sense with Mercedes-Benz because the model range is deep and fast-moving. Facelifts, new technology cycles and electrified variants arrive regularly, and leasing gives you a clean way to refresh into the next model without the friction of selling privately. That matters even more as MY2026 brings a stronger emphasis on electrification and new platform rollouts, where some drivers want the reassurance of a defined term rather than a long-term commitment.

From a practical point of view, it is also easier to match the contract to your real usage. Annual mileage, term length and initial rental can be set around commuting, business travel or family driving, keeping the monthly payment aligned with what you need from the car.

Mercedes-Benz Models: Compact, SUV, Electric and AMG

Below is the current Mercedes-Benz UK model range in MY2026 positioning, with short, editorial summaries designed to route users cleanly into the relevant model page.

Compact and Everyday Premium

A-Class - The compact Mercedes for drivers who want a smaller footprint without giving up cabin quality. A strong option for city use, commuting, and those who want premium design in an easy-to-place package.

B-Class - A more upright, spacious alternative that leans into comfort and practicality. Ideal if you want compact dimensions with easier access, a calmer driving position, and family-friendly usability.

CLA - The more style-led choice in the compact end of the range, aimed at drivers who want sleek proportions with a premium feel. In MY2026, CLA also plays an important role in the brand’s electrification story through newer “with EQ Technology” variants.

Saloon, Estate and Flagship Comfort

C-Class - A core Mercedes-Benz model that balances refinement with a more agile feel than the larger saloons. A strong all-rounder for mixed driving, business mileage and long-distance comfort.

E-Class - The traditional Mercedes sweet spot for motorway composure and premium cabin comfort. If you do regular longer journeys, this is the range that tends to feel most “Mercedes” in its character.

S-Class - The flagship, built around quietness, ride comfort and a sense of occasion. Best suited to drivers who prioritise luxury and technology with an unmistakably top-tier feel.

Coupe and Open-top Grand Touring

CLE - A modern coupe and cabriolet line that effectively replaces the previous two-door offerings, aiming for a clean blend of style, comfort and long-journey refinement.

SL - The luxury roadster, positioned for open-top grand touring with a stronger performance edge than the CLE. A halo choice for drivers who want something distinctive and special-occasion.

AMG GT - The most overtly performance-led coupe in the mainstream range, designed around drama, pace and presence. This is the gateway into the sharpest, most focused end of Mercedes on the road.

SUVs and High-riding Family Options

GLA - Compact SUV convenience with premium design, well suited to urban driving and family life where a higher seating position is a priority.

GLB - A practical, boxier alternative with a stronger focus on space and day-to-day flexibility. The best pick if you want compact-SUV dimensions with maximum usability.

GLC - The mid-size SUV that blends comfort, quality and a more substantial feel. Often the right answer for families who want premium refinement without going full-size.

GLE - A larger SUV with a clear emphasis on comfort and long-distance ease. Ideal if you want genuine road presence with a more relaxed, high-end driving character.

GLS - The range-topper SUV, aimed at maximum space and flagship comfort. A strong fit for larger families or those who want luxury-car calm in an SUV format.

G-Class - The icon. More about character and engineering identity than rationality, with a unique driving feel and unmistakable design.

G-Class Electric (G 580 with EQ Technology) - The same visual statement, reinterpreted with electric power. A niche flagship that combines the G-Class identity with Mercedes-Benz’s “with EQ Technology” direction.

Electric Mercedes-Benz

EQA - Compact electric SUV, positioned for drivers who want an EV that still feels familiar in size and day-to-day use.

EQB - A more practical electric SUV alternative with extra focus on versatility and passenger space.

EQE (Saloon) - Executive EV comfort with a more business-mileage mindset. Designed for refined, quiet distance driving.

EQE SUV - A higher-riding take on the EQE formula, aimed at families who want EV smoothness with SUV practicality.

EQS (Saloon) - The electric flagship saloon, focused on luxury, quietness and long-range comfort.

EQS SUV - Flagship EV in SUV form, combining high-end comfort with space and presence.

MPVs and People Carriers

V-Class - Premium MPV practicality with a more luxury-led cabin feel. Built for moving people in comfort, whether that is family life or professional use.

EQV - The all-electric equivalent to the V-Class idea, aimed at drivers who want a premium people carrier with electric driving for urban and regional journeys. 

Mercedes-AMG: Performance With Its Own Identity

Mercedes-AMG should be treated as more than a trim level. It is the performance arm of the brand, built around a different priority set: sharper response, stronger power delivery, more deliberate chassis tuning and a more assertive design attitude. In MY2026, AMG also sits closer to Mercedes-Benz’s future-facing strategy, with electrification and next-generation platforms increasingly influencing what high performance looks like.

On a leasing journey, AMG tends to suit drivers who want a defined performance experience with a clear upgrade path. It is not simply “more equipment”. It is a different character, and it deserves a distinct decision moment within the Mercedes-Benz range.
