Private car leasing is on the rise again after losing momentum during 2023–2024. Here we analyse the key trends.
The Market Is Recovering
After record levels in 2022, two weaker years followed — but 2025 marked a clear turning point. According to industry data, the growth is continuing into 2026.
What's Driving the Trend?
- Stabilising interest rates — Leasing costs have normalised
- More electric cars — Attractive prices on new EVs
- Promotions — Manufacturers are investing heavily in leasing offers
- Convenience — More and more people are discovering the benefits
Popular Segments
- Electric cars — Now account for over 40% of new leasing contracts
- SUVs — Still the largest segment overall
- Budget cars — Rapidly growing interest
Outlook for 2026
- More models available under SEK 3,000/month
- Longer range on electric vehicles
- Increased competition = better prices for consumers
Our Take
Now is a great time to lease. Competition is pushing prices down and the selection is bigger than ever.
