Deals of the week from heycar

Get a great deal on a used Volkswagen Tiguan, Toyota bZ4X or Ford Focus Active this week

Just as the Golf says 'family hatchback', the Volkswagen Tiguan is rapidly becoming shorthand for family SUV. The third generation Tiguan gets improved looks, practicality and plushness, while used models of the latest model are getting more affordable.

If you're looking for a left-field way of switching to an electric car, the Toyota bZ4X could spark your interest. All get plenty of kit, are decent to drive and look like little else.

And how do you make a Focus a better city car? Confusingly, the Ford Focus Active and its SUV-makeover make for a great urban option, with that 30mm extra suspension travel making speedbumps a breeze. As with the cars above, the car we've chosen is available for cash purchase or with a competitive PCP deal.

2024 Toyota bZ4X Pure for £23,764 or £307 a month

Toyota hasn't yet warmed to electric vehicles, concentrating instead on its successful hybrids. However, the Toyota bZ4X is a proper EV and an interesting offering, as it's good to drive, well equipped and certainly looks futuristic.

A recent update means pre-facelift cars are more affordable on the used market. Take this one-owner bZ4X that cost its first owner £37,000 in October last year, recently discounted and with a battery warranty that'll run until 2032 or for 98,000 more miles.

Price: £23,764
Monthly payments: £307, plus £3564 deposit
Mileage: 2251

2023 Ford Focus Active X for £19,999 or £321 a month

The Ford Focus Active is the odd answer to the question 'How do you make a Focus a better city car?' Its SUV-inspired wheelarch cladding and 30mm taller suspension hint at off-road ability, but actually make it more able to fend off runaway trolleys, speed bumps and potholes.

The Active X features just about every item of equipment offered on a Focus, including SYNC4 infotainment, a B&O stereo and wireless phone charging. It cost £32,000 new, but now makes a great used deal.
