New car, new plate: The best lease cars coming with the 74-plate
September means one thing in the new car world – it’s time for another new numberplate. All cars registered on or after the 1 September will come with a shiny new “74” registration plate.
If you’re searching for a new vehicle in the coming months, you might want a brand-new model to match your brand-new registration.
We’ve taken a look at five of the best vehicles that are available to order right now and will be delivered in the coming months – meaning you’ll get that brand-new plate. The range takes into account value, with a car on the list that should suit every budget and requirement.
Ford Capri
You heard right: the iconic Ford Capri is back. After years in the wilderness, the famous name will now proudly sit on a reimagined car. It might not be a sleek coupe like the classic, but its fastback styling and electric drivetrain will be sure to make it a hit with those looking for a stylish yet practical family car.
It follows the lead of the Explorer, and will be the third Ford EV to hit the UK market. Both single and dual motor models will be offered, with the 79kWh battery model capable of up to 368 miles of range – that’s enough to worry cars like the Tesla Model 3 Long Range.

Lexus LBX
The Lexus LBX is one of the Japanese brand’s newest models, and it also happens to be one of the smallest. But it still has everything you’d expect from a premium brand: a well-laid out, tech-laden cabin, fantastic build quality and a quiet, refined driving experience.
It uses a 1.5-litre petrol-hybrid drivetrain, that has been specifically developed to ensure it offers the same hushed refinement as the brand’s other models. If you’re looking for a compact crossover with a bit of prestige, an LBX sporting a 74 plate might be just what you’re after.
Dacia Spring
The Dacia Spring is the perfect car for those looking to make the switch to electric without breaking the bank. As one of the most affordable EVs on the market, the Spring offers exceptional value with its practical range, compact design, and low running costs.
Styling wise, it uses all Dacia’s usual design cues, and in terms of height it’s closer to a crossover. You might not think its 26.6kWh battery is that large, but it’s enough to offer 137-mile range: enough for most people’s daily commute.
Ideal for city dwellers and eco-conscious drivers alike, this model is set to bring electric mobility to the masses.
Kia EV3
Kia continues to impress with its expanding EV lineup, and the new Kia EV3 is no exception. This compact SUV boasts a futuristic design, 372-mile range, and fast-charging capabilities, making it a top contender in the electric vehicle market. T
he EV3’s spacious interior, advanced driver assistance systems, and state-of-the-art infotainment make it perfect for families or tech-savvy individuals seeking a versatile electric option. It’s available to order now, and your 74 plate EV3 will arrive in late 2024.
Cupra Tavascan
The Cupra Tavascan is the brand’s first all-electric SUV coupe. Building on the success of its sporty Born, the Tavascan is a much larger and more premium kind of car. With stand-out styling, you’re sure to turn heads wherever you go.
It offers a substantial 300-mile+ range and a sub six-second 0-62mph time, appealing to those who want a bit of performance from their EV. The Tavascan is packed with the latest connectivity features and customisable options, meaning you’ll find a model in the line-up that’ll suit your needs
Renault Symbioz
The Renault Symbioz is an all-new electric model from Renault, offering a glimpse into what we can expect from the rest of the brand’s line-up in the coming years. This concept-inspired model brings together advanced E-Tech electric propulsion, which, despite being a hybrid, will only ever send power to the wheels via its electric motor.
Tech is just as impressive on the inside, with Renault utilising an all-new 10.4in touchscreen infotainment system that uses a Google operating system. This gives you immediate access to things like Google Maps and Google’s voice assist without the need to connect your phone. All this, combined with a cavernous 624-litre boot, makes it a perfect family car.
