While there are always cars that are listed for too much money, the takeaway from a healthy 2025 sales year is that price matters, more than ever. This month, we've lowered our own limits to no more than $499 per month and $4700 at signing (which just so happens to be the Infiniti QX60, the most expensive model on this list). Take a look.
Check Our Leasing Guide
Make sure you first read our leasing guide. We've covered everything that may get glossed over in the showroom: advertising fees, money factors, residuals, legal implications, and all the other fine print that could cost you thousands more than you'd expect. When comparing similar cars, be aware that a lower monthly price often demands more money up front. As with any national lease special, enter your zip code on an automaker's website to check if these deals apply to your area. Prices do not include taxes or fees and may be higher or lower depending on your location. Research is always your friend.

See all results for new 2026 Honda Civic for sale and new 2026 Nissan Sentra for sale near 59100
2026 Honda Civic Hybrid
$299 per month/$4099 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
A fully loaded Honda Civic Hybrid is a mighty fine small car, able to outgun a Civic Si at an on-ramp and then hit 45-plus miles per gallon at a steady cruise. The Sport Touring hatchback in this lease is our favorite trim level because it packs additional comforts including heated leather seats, Google infotainment, and a sunroof. Honda will knock off $30 per month if you own a Honda or a car from a competing brand.
2026 Nissan Sentra
$219 per month/$2429 at signing
39 months/32,500 miles
Hyundai and Kia used to sell the lowest-price small sedans. These days, it's consistently Nissan. The Sentra was heavily refreshed for 2026 with a longer-looking body (it's not, actually) and a reworked interior with big displays on a snazzy dash. This deal for the SV has softer cloth trim, remote start, the full digital instrument panel, and an alarm, among other features unavailable on the base S.
2026 Ford Explorer
$499 per month/$1498 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
Although Ford is no longer offering signing payments that match the monthly payment, it is continuing to advertise low lease prices on the Explorer if you can settle for the base trim. This lease is for the Active trim with all-wheel drive and the Comfort package, which includes a heated steering wheel, eight-way power passenger seat, remote start, silver accents, fog lights, LED daytime running lights, and climate controls for the second row.
2026 Infiniti QX60
$499 per month/$4699 at signing
27 months/22,500 miles
Infiniti's lease deals are usually terrible, with signing payments of $6000 or more. While the QX80 rightfully commands such premiums, the mid-size QX60 does not—and now Infiniti appears to be getting the message, offering a lower signing payment and an usually short lease term. This is the lowest signing payment for a QX60 we've seen, and at this price it rivals the Buick Enclave, the Honda Pilot, and Nissan's own Pathfinder, among other three-row SUVs. This deal is for the Luxe model, which is one up from the base trim.
2026 GMC Canyon
$269 per month/$3579 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
The lowest offer on a new pickup truck isn't from Hyundai, which prices the Santa Cruz so high that it's reportedly bowing out of the market, or from Ford, which doesn't need to slap any incentives on the Maverick. It's not from Chevrolet, either. GMC is killing it with affordable leases on the Canyon, and for versions you'd actually want, like this 4WD Elevation crew cab with the short bed. The normal premium on pickup trucks doesn't apply at GMC, and we like that the prices keep getting lower.
2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale
$391 per month/$4999 at signing
39 months/32,500 miles
While its Italy-built cousin, the Dodge Hornet, is discontinued due to tariffs and poor sales, the Tonale keeps on trucking. While there are deals on the plug-in hybrid, that trim is gone for 2026, and the best price is on the base car (and it's a better deal than at Dodge, which apparently wants no one to lease a Hornet). For a semi-luxury experience, you could do worse than a small Alfa.
2025 Subaru WRX
$369 per month/$369 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
Hands down, the best deal on a new performance car is this offer on the 2025 WRX, which waives the down payment and also lowers the monthly price versus Subaru's lease deals of just a few months ago. Any Premium trim with the six-speed manual is good at this price, so long as it doesn't have the package with the sunroof and upgraded stereo. It's thousands cheaper than a BRZ.
2025 Mini Countryman
$319 per month/$3970 at signing
39 months/24,375 miles
The biggest Mini is this small SUV, and while we rank it in the luxury class, the Countryman is priced for the everyman. For thousands less than its BMW X1 platform-mate, the Countryman S in this lease comes with a circular touchscreen, adaptive cruise, navigation, a sunroof, and other niceties. It's also the only Mini model with all-wheel drive. The catch? A low cap of 7500 annual miles and an interior that skimps on material quality versus the previous generation.
