More than 15,000 vehicles are still available under the 2026 social leasing program, though the range of models has shrunk significantly. On July 16, the third edition of the program was launched, with a quota of 50,000 models available. While enthusiasm has been slightly lower compared to previous editions, the program is still considered a success, with nearly 20,000 applications received within two weeks and 30,000 in one and a half months. According to the latest update from the Minister of Economy and Finance, Roland Lescure, as of Tuesday, September 22, there are now 34,000 validated applications. This means that slightly more than 15,000 vehicles remain available under the program, and it is assumed that the historic rise in fuel prices is encouraging new customers to visit dealerships. Manufacturers are limiting the number of vehicles they offer through the social leasing program. This time, many models that were previously eligible are no longer available. Manufacturers have chosen a more cautious approach by limiting their own orders. For example, Peugeot has limited its orders to 5,000 and has already ended its leasing program several weeks ago. The reason for this is the need to preserve profitability. Even though energy suppliers provide subsidies through the CEE mechanism, the brands must still make significant efforts to offer attractive monthly payments. Additionally, these are long-term leases (LLD), and managing the return of vehicles in the years to come could be costly due to depreciation when reselling. Several other brands have also exhausted their available models. Alfa Romeo, which offered the Junior, Fiat with the Grande Panda, Jeep with the Avenger, Lancia with the Ypsilon, and Kia with the EV2 are no longer available. At Opel, the Corsa and Mokka are now sold out, with only the Frontera remaining, but it no longer offers the very attractive version at 99 euros per month. Opel now only offers the large battery 54 kWh, starting at 139 euros. At Hyundai, the Kona is no longer available, but the city car Inster is still on offer, starting at 139 euros per month. Renault, which had been a standout in the leasing program, has run out of stock for the R5 and the Mégane. The French manufacturer still offers the R4 in the Evolution Autonomy Comfort trim (409 km) at 170 euros per month, but not the technology version. The Twingo range remains available, starting at 130 euros per month. If the R5 is no longer available, the Nissan Micra is still an option, with the large battery 52 kWh version available at 199 euros per month. Citroën still offers the C3 and C3 Aircross, with the cheapest offer remaining at 94 euros per month. However, it should be noted that monthly payments for other versions have increased. It should be recalled that these offers are made without a down payment, with the first increased payment covered by the enhanced CEE grant. The 2026 list, which was already quite short due to more restrictive criteria, has now been significantly reduced as the program nears its end. It remains to be seen whether the 50,000 quota will actually be fully exhausted.
