Wondering what car to lease this year?
Start with what everyone else is driving.
These are the top 10 most leased cars by Remunerator customers in the 2024/25 FBT year. They reflect the key trends in what Australians are looking for: value, practicality, and smart tax savings through novated leasing.
1. Mitsubishi Outlander
The Outlander has taken the top spot this year, overtaking the Tesla Model Y from last year’s Top 10 list.
With flexible seating, good storage and family-ready features, it’s a top choice for everyday driving. While the petrol version remains attractive for leasing, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version no longer qualifies for the Electric Car Discount.
RRP: $41,332
Weekly price on a novated lease: from $147 + running costs
2. Tesla Model Y
Still the most popular EV in the country, the Model Y is no stranger from the spotlight. With the latest 2025 update just released, we have no doubts this will continue to be a top choice for drivers.
It remains eligible for the Electric Car Discount, making it a smart option for tax-effective leasing. Plus, it recently received a refresh—read more in our Model Y update breakdown.

Weekly price on a novated lease: from $157 + running costs
