All the trims in the table have an automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive in the table applies to trims whose name carries 4WD, and it may differ in other trims of the model, such as the Hunter Omega 2WD.

• Check the drive system in the trim name: 4WD indicates four-wheel drive, while 2WD indicates two-wheel drive.
• Pay attention to the model year, since some models are listed for both 2025 and 2026, and equipment may differ between the two years.
• Compare the equipment that really matters to you: safety systems such as collision warning and blind-spot information, comfort such as seat ventilation and rear air conditioning, and cameras and screens.

Once you have chosen a trim, reading the new car buying guide with steps before you sign and take delivery helps you organise the inspection, test drive and paperwork.

The Genesis G70 is the smallest sedan in the listed range and has a sporty character. The representative trim (Prestige 2026) has a 2 L petrol engine with 4 cylinders, an automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, a recorded fuel economy of 12.5 km/L and 19 inch wheels. Its recorded equipment includes ventilated and heated seats, a navigation system and a smart entry system.

Its recorded equipment includes a smart air massage system for the driver seat, memory for the front seats, ventilated and heated seats and a power tailgate.

The Genesis GV70 is an SUV that is smaller than the GV80. The representative trim (Prestige Plus 2026) has a 2.5 L petrol engine with 4 cylinders and 304 HP, an automatic transmission, a recorded fuel economy of 11.5 km/L and 19 inch wheels. Its equipment includes a panoramic roof, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring and a power tailgate.

Which Genesis Model Suits Your Use?

• Family: the GV80 and GV70 are practical choices thanks to the SUV seating position and the power tailgate in the representative trims, while the G80 and G90 suit those who prefer a comfortable sedan for rear passengers. All representative trims have five seats, so check the seat count on the car page if your family is larger.
• City: the G70 is the smallest of the listed sedans, and the GV70 suits those who want a moderately sized SUV that is easy to handle in traffic and car parks.
• Long trips: the G80 and G90 are comfortable sedans with equipment for rear passengers, and the GV80 offers four-wheel drive and SUV height for carrying the family and luggage on trips.
• Dirt roads and the desert: the GV80 is the only model whose data states four-wheel drive, and no off-road drive modes are listed for it, so it is more suited to light dirt roads.

If you are torn between two models, start with your daily use and then move on to size, because the differences between trims within one model can be larger than the differences you expect between two similar models.

 

How Do You Compare Genesis Trims Before Buying?

Trim names repeat across models, but the equipment of the same trim name can differ from one model to another and from one year to another. For example, the G80 comes in Prestige, Platinum and Royal trims, while the GV70 comes in Platinum Sport and Royal Sport for 2024, and Prestige Plus (2025 and 2026) and Premium (2025). Follow these steps:

1. Choose the model first by size: a sedan (G70, G80 or G90) or an SUV (GV70 or GV80).
2. Open the page of each trim and compare the engine, power, drive system and wheel size, because the figures in this guide apply to the representative trim only.
3. Compare safety equipment such as blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning and the camera system.
4. Compare comfort equipment such as seat ventilation and heating, the sunroof, smart entry, navigation and the power tailgate.
5. Pay attention to the model year, as the same trim may be listed for two years, such as the G80 Prestige for 2025 and 2026.

Before you sign, read the new car buying guide with steps before signing and delivery to know what to check in the contract and when you take delivery of the car.

No down payment car finance means asking a finance company to finance the full price of the car instead of paying part of it upfront, so the whole amount is spread over monthly instalments. This option eases the burden of a large sum at purchase, but it raises the amount financed, so the monthly instalment is usually higher and the total you pay by the end of the contract is often greater. It is not necessarily available to every applicant, because approval and its details are subject to the finance company’s terms and credit approval. In this guide we explain how this option works, what finance companies look at, the documents and costs that still apply, and the questions to ask before signing.

What Does No Down Payment Car Finance Mean?

In standard instalment buying you pay part of the car’s price at purchase, known as the down payment or deposit, and the finance company finances the rest in instalments. With no down payment, which many people search for as instalments without a deposit, you ask for the full price to be financed, and your instalment commitment starts according to the contract schedule.

The financing here is provided by the finance company, not the car showroom, so it decides on approval, the term and the instalment according to its terms. The option may also come in different forms: some contracts require no down payment but include a final payment at the end of the term, and some ask for fees or amounts at signing even without a down payment. So ask for the offer details in writing, and do not rely on the advertising headline alone.

 

How Does Skipping the Down Payment Change the Instalment and the Total?

The general rule is simple: whatever you do not pay upfront goes into the amount financed. The larger the amount financed, the higher the monthly instalment usually is if the term stays the same, and the total financing cost is often greater because it is calculated on a larger amount. If the term is extended to lower the instalment, the total you pay may rise even further.

Item	No down payment	With a down payment
Amount you pay at purchase	Lower, though fees or insurance may still apply depending on the offer	Higher because it includes the deposit
Amount financed	The full price of the car	The price minus the deposit
Monthly instalment for the same term	Usually higher	Usually lower
Total paid by the end of the contract	Often higher	Often lower
Impact of any change in your income	Heavier because the monthly commitment is larger	Relatively lighter
Your emergency savings	Stay with you	Shrink by the amount of the deposit

To try out the effect of the down payment and the term on the instalment before requesting a formal offer, use the car instalments and finance calculator page, and treat the result as an estimate, because the actual instalment is set by the finance company in its written offer.

 

What Do Finance Companies Look at When You Apply With No Down Payment?

Criteria differ from one company to another, but finance companies generally look at your ability to repay, and the conditions for an application without a down payment may differ from those with one, depending on each company’s policy. The main points usually reviewed include:

• Your income, its source and stability, and how your salary is deposited, according to the finance company’s terms.
• Existing obligations such as other instalments or financing, and what remains of your income after them.
• Your credit record and how regularly you have repaid past obligations.
• Your employer, its sector and your length of service, as required by the finance company.
• Residency status and validity for residents, since residents can buy with financing according to the finance company’s terms.

There is no single rule that guarantees approval, and the final decision rests with the finance company after reviewing the application. Ask it directly about its criteria before applying, and if you want to know where you stand in advance, check your credit record through the official approved channels.

 

What Documents Are Commonly Requested for Car Finance?

The list varies by finance company and customer type, and the documents commonly requested include:

• Proof of identity: the national ID for citizens, or a valid residence permit for residents.
• A salary definition letter or salary certificate from your employer.
• A bank statement for the period set by the finance company.
• National address details and contact information.
• Additional documents for the self-employed or for certain cases, as requested by the finance company.

Ask the finance company for its up-to-date list before applying, and make sure your details match across all documents, because a different name or employer from one paper to another may delay the review of your application.

 

What Costs Still Apply Even Without a Down Payment?

Not paying a deposit does not mean the car will cost you nothing beyond the instalment. Review these items with the finance company:

• Insurance: finance companies usually require the car to be insured for the whole contract, so ask about its type, who pays for it and whether it is included in the instalment or paid separately. To understand the difference between policies, read about comprehensive vs third-party car insurance.
• Administrative or file-opening fees, and when they are due.
• A final payment at the end of the contract, if there is one; it lowers the instalment but is an amount you must prepare for.
• Normal running costs such as fuel and routine maintenance, which do not change with or without a deposit.

Ask for all these items to be stated in the written offer, and add them to the instalments to know the real total cost before you decide.

 

What Questions Should You Ask the Finance Company Before Signing?

1. Is the offer truly without a down payment, or has the deposit moved into a final payment or fees at signing?
2. What is the monthly instalment, the number of instalments and the total amount by the end of the contract?
3. What are the administrative fees, and are any other amounts due before delivery?
4. What type of insurance is required, and is its cost included in the instalment?
5. What are the early settlement terms, and what happens if an instalment is late?
6. When does ownership of the car pass to you, and can you sell it before the contract ends?
7. Is the approval final or preliminary, and how long does the offer remain valid?

Compare the answers from more than one company for the same car and the same term, and check the contract and the finance company’s official disclosures before signing. For calculating the total cost, reading the contract terms and comparing offers in detail, see our comparison of buying a car with financing or cash.

 

When Does No Down Payment Suit You, and When Is a Down Payment or the Two-Payment Option Better?

Instalments with no down payment may suit you in the following cases:

• Your income is stable, and the higher instalment leaves comfortable room in your monthly budget.
• You need the car now and do not want to drain your emergency savings.
• You accept that the total you pay will often be higher in return for not paying a large sum at the start.

A down payment may be better if you have money beyond your emergency reserve, because it usually lowers the amount financed, the instalment and the financing cost. And if you have part of the price but not enough to pay it in full, the two-payment option may be worth asking about, including its details and conditions, before turning to financing.

Start by choosing a car that fits your budget from the list of new cars on offer, then request a finance offer for that specific car, because the instalment changes with the car and its trim. Saleh Cars Group offers buyers whose money does not cover the full price the two-payment option or financing of the rest through approved finance companies, and you can ask its team about this through the contact and branches page.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About No Down Payment Car Finance

Can you buy a car in instalments with no down payment?

This is possible with some finance companies and in some offers, but it is subject to the finance company’s terms and credit approval, and it is not necessarily available to every applicant. Ask the finance company whether it is available in your case.

Is the instalment higher without a down payment than with one?

Usually yes for the same term, because the amount financed is larger. The instalment may look similar if the term is longer or there is a final payment, so compare the total amount, not the instalment alone.

Can a resident finance a car with no down payment?

Residents can buy with financing, but whether the no down payment option is available and its conditions, such as the employer and residency validity, are set by the finance company; ask it about its requirements for residents.

Is insurance required for car finance with no down payment?

Finance companies usually require the car to be insured for the whole contract, and the contract sets its type and who bears its cost, so read this clause carefully and ask about it before signing.

Does no down payment mean I will pay nothing at delivery?

Not necessarily; there may be administrative fees, insurance costs or other amounts depending on the finance company’s terms, so ask for a written list of everything payable before delivery.

 

Conclusion

Instalments with no down payment let you get the car without a large sum at the start, but they mean a larger amount financed, a usually higher instalment and an often higher total. Prepare your documents, know what the finance company looks at, add insurance, fees and any final payment to the instalments, and do not sign before you have written answers. If you have money beyond your emergency reserve, compare this option with a down payment or the two-payment option.

If you turn the key or press the start button and the engine does not turn over at all, the cause may lie in the car battery or its connections, in the starter motor and its circuit, or in a starting condition that has not been met, such as the gear position or key recognition. Whether it is a battery or starter problem usually shows in the dashboard lights, the type of sound and the result of a jump start test. These are indications for ordering the checks, while confirmation comes from a qualified technician with proper equipment.

How Is a No-Crank Different from Cranking Without Starting?

A no-crank means the engine does not turn when you try to start it: you hear nothing, or only a click or rapid clicking. If the starter turns the engine at its usual sound but the engine does not fire, that is a different situation, usually caused by fuel, spark or sensors, which we cover in the guide on an engine that cranks but will not start. Here we focus on the first case, whose diagnosis starts with the electrical side.

 

How Can Sounds and Lights Reveal a Battery or Starter Problem?

Watch the moment of starting and the dashboard lights before and during it, as each sign has a more likely cause, not a final verdict:

• No sound and no lights, or a very dim dashboard: this may point to a completely flat battery, a loose or corroded terminal, or a main fuse.
• No sound with bright lights: this may mean the start command is not reaching the starter, because of the gear position, the brake or clutch pedal, the key not being recognised, or a relay or fuse.
• A single click with bright lights that do not dim: this may point to the starter or the switch that pushes its gear (the solenoid), or to a weak starter cable or ground strap.
• Rapid repeated clicking with dimming lights: this may point to a poorly charged battery or badly connected terminals, so the solenoid does not receive enough current, releases and tries again.
• Slow, laboured cranking: this may point to a weak battery or corroded connections, and sometimes to a starter drawing excess current because of internal wear.
• Whirring or grinding without the engine turning: this may mean the starter gear is not meshing with the flywheel ring gear or that teeth on one of them are damaged, so stop trying.
• It starts one time and not the next: this may point to a loose connection, a starter that is starting to fail, an intermittent relay or the gear position sensor, so note when the problem occurs and tell the technician.

For more detail on each side, see the signs of a failing starter motor and car battery failure symptoms and how to test them.

 

Why Won’t the Car Crank with a New Battery?

Fitting a new battery does not mean the problem is over; the old one may have been fine, or the cause may be somewhere that was never checked. The main possibilities are:

• Terminals not tightened properly, corrosion left on the cable ends, or a damaged or loose ground strap between the engine and the body.
• A new battery that is not fully charged, because it was stored for a long time or was drained by lights or accessories left on.
• A battery that does not match the car’s specification in capacity, cranking current or technology; see the guide to choosing a new car battery.
• A parasitic drain that empties the battery while parked, so the car starts today and will not crank tomorrow morning; read about hidden electrical drain in the car.
• A weak charging system (alternator), so the battery runs down gradually despite driving, and a charging warning light may appear on the dashboard.
• The starter relay or the starting circuit fuse, or the starter motor itself and its solenoid, especially if the symptoms were present before the battery was changed.
• The key not being recognised because of a weak remote battery or a fault in the immobilizer, which blocks the starter in some cars.
• The gear selector not in P or N on an automatic, the clutch not fully pressed or its switch faulty on a manual, or the brake not pressed in cars with a start button.

 

Which Safe Checks Can You Do Before the Workshop?

These checks do not require removing any part, and they help you narrow down the likely cause:

1. Make sure the gear selector is in P or N and that you are pressing the brake or clutch as the owner’s manual requires, and try starting in N if it fails in P.
2. Look at the dashboard lights: bright, dim or off? Does a message about the key or a battery warning light appear?
3. Headlight test: switch on the headlights and watch their reflection on a wall while trying to start. Heavy dimming may point to the battery or its connections, while lights that stay bright with a single click may point to the starter. Some cars switch off electrical loads during starting, so do not rely on this observation alone.
4. Try the spare key, check the remote battery if a key-not-detected message appears, and follow the alternative starting method if the owner’s manual gives one.
5. Inspect the terminals by eye with the engine off: are the cables secure? Is there white or green corrosion? Do not move them with a metal tool, and never touch both terminals together.
6. Try a jump start by following the steps to jump-start a car safely: if the engine cranks normally, the battery or its connections are more likely; if the same click remains, the starter or its circuit is more likely.

 

What Should You Avoid When the Car Won’t Crank?

• Do not tap the starter with a tool while someone else tries to start the car; being close to the fan, belts and hot parts during a sudden turn can cause injury.
• Do not keep cranking without a pause or hold the start for long; the starter is designed for intermittent use and can overheat, so let it rest between attempts as the owner’s manual advises.
• Do not bypass the relay or bridge the starter or battery terminals with a screwdriver or wire; the engine may turn suddenly while the car is in gear, or sparks and electrical damage may occur.
• Do not replace the starter or battery by guesswork before testing, as that may not fix the problem.
• Do not try to jump-start a battery that is swollen, cracked or leaking fluid; ask for help.

 

How Do You Read Battery and Starter Signs in One Table?

The table below summarises common signs, the more likely side and the suggested next step:

Sign	More likely	Also worth ruling out	Next step
No sound, dashboard dark	Battery or terminals	Main fuse	Inspect the terminals by eye and try a jump start
No sound, dashboard bright	Starting circuit	Gear position, key and relay	Confirm P or N and the brake, and try the spare key
Single click, bright lights	Starter or solenoid	Starter cable or ground strap	Have the starter and its circuit tested
Rapid clicking, lights dim	Battery or terminals	Weak charging system	Try a jump start, then test the battery and charging
Slow, laboured cranking	Battery or connections	Starter drawing high current	Ask for a battery load test and a starter draw test
Whirring or grinding, no crank	Starter gear	Flywheel ring gear teeth	Stop trying and have it inspected
Intermittent problem	Loose connection or weakening starter	Relay or gear position sensor	Note when it happens and tell the technician

 

What Does a Technician Test to Confirm the Cause?

A technician relies on measurement against the manufacturer’s data, and usually checks:

• The battery’s condition under load or with a battery tester, not just its charge.
• Voltage drop across the positive cable and the ground path while cranking, to reveal resistance in connections that cannot be seen.
• The current the starter draws, since a high draw may point to a tired starter or mechanical resistance in the engine.
• Whether the start signal reaches the starter through the relay, the fuse and the gear position or clutch switch.
• The charging system, and stored fault codes in the car’s computer if messages about the key or the immobilizer appear.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About a Car That Won’t Crank

What is the starter motor in a car?

The starter motor is a small electric motor that draws its current from the battery and turns the engine at the moment of starting through a gear that meshes with the flywheel, then disengages once the engine runs, so it needs a healthy battery and good connections.

How can I tell the starter has failed rather than the battery?

If the battery is charged and tested, the terminals are sound, and the single click with bright lights repeats even with a jump start, the starter or its circuit becomes more likely, and a technician confirms it by measuring voltage drop and current draw.

What does a clicking sound from the starter mean when starting?

Rapid clicking usually happens when the starter does not receive enough current because of a weak battery or corroded or loose terminals, while a single click with bright lights may be linked to the starter or its solenoid.

Does tapping the starter fix the problem?

The starter may work temporarily after being tapped, but that is a sign of a fault in it rather than a fix, and it is dangerous while someone else tries to start the car.

Can a smart key stop the car from starting?

Yes. If the car does not recognise the key because of a weak key battery or a system fault, the starter may not turn or the engine may not fire, a message usually appears on the dashboard, and the owner’s manual may explain an alternative starting method.

 

Conclusion

When the car will not crank, note the dashboard lights, the type of sound and the result of a jump start: dim lights and rapid clicking lean towards the battery, while a single click with bright lights leans towards the starter, and do not forget the gear position and the key. Avoid risky shortcuts, and leave confirmation to a qualified technician.

How Do You Compare Suzuki Trims Before Buying?

Suzuki models on our site use short trim names, mainly GL and GLX, with a Standard (STD) trim for the EECO and a GLX New Design trim for the DZIRE alongside GL and GLX. Do not assume that the same name means the same equipment in every model or every model year; compare as follows:

• Open the page of each trim separately and start with the model year, because some models are listed in more than one year, such as the DZIRE for 2025 and 2027 and the Baleno for 2025 and 2026.
• Compare the transmission and drive: most listed trims are automatic with front-wheel drive, while the Jimny has four-wheel drive, the EECO is manual with rear-wheel drive and the Swift has a CVT.
• Compare the equipment you use every day: the camera type, rear or surround, the screen size, the smart entry system and driver assistance such as adaptive cruise control.
• Match the number of seats to your family size and use: seven seats in the Ertiga, five in the DZIRE, Baleno, Swift and Fronx, and two in the EECO.
• Ask about the difference between GL and GLX in the same model, such as the Baleno GL and Baleno GLX or the Fronx GL and Fronx GLX, and do not rely on the trim name alone.

How Do You Compare Jetour Trims Before Buying?

Each model has more than one trim on our site, and these are the trim names listed for each model:

• T2: Comfort, Luxury, Luxury White with Black Roof, Luxury Plus, and Hybrid for 2026.
• Dashing: BASE, MID, Comfort, Comfort Black Edition, Comfort White Color and Luxury.
• T1: Comfort and Luxury.
• X70: Comfort and Luxury.
• G700: Comfort, Luxury and FLAGSHIP.

When comparing, open the page for each trim and compare the same items: engine size and whether it has a turbo, power and torque, drive system and driving modes, number of seats, wheel size, assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, collision warning and lane monitoring, camera type and screen sizes, and then pay attention to the model year. A higher trim of the same model usually adds comfort and safety equipment, but the right choice is the one that covers your actual needs rather than the most extras. For general steps before signing and delivery, see the step-by-step new car buying guide.
