Best Bang for Your Buck Lease Deals
November 3, 2022
This week, I compiled advertised lease deals published on manufacturer's web sites to find out which vehicles and locations offer the best "bang for your buck" (Note:
electric vehicles are not included in this list due to federal rebates which prevent a fair comparison - see
electric / hybrid lease deals here).
The 2022 Hyundai Kona trim stands out as the best bang for your buck deal in the country - $228
per month with zero down on a vehicle with MSRP of $24,395. That's equivalent to getting a whopping $108 worth of MSRP for each
dollar you pay per month.
It's important to note that the best lease deals in general may only be available in certain regions (usually NY or California regions offer the best lease deals). In
addition, due to inventory shortages, many dealers are not participating in these manufacturer-backed offers, so it can be difficult to get these deal terms.
I have provided a "Local Deals" link where you can quickly get lease deal offers from local dealers (if available).
Each lease deal below is calculated with zero down payment on a typical 36 month lease with 12,000 annual mileage (10K for luxury vehicles) so you can compare apples to apples. Note that payments don't include tax, title, and other fees and the deals may
only be available in a particular region.
Anything above 80 in the "Bang for your Buck" column indicates an excellent lease deal for the current market, and many of the deals below meet this threshold.
