Best electric vehicle lease deals right now
Top 5 full electric picks for September 2026, ranked by Lease Value Ratio.
Hyundai raised the payment $30 to $399 and the ratio slipped from 0.81% to 0.91%, but the IONIQ 9 still leads every electrified lease we track.
It’s one of only two deals on this page rated Good. Three rows of seats on a $58,955 sticker for $399 a month is why.
The Niro EV is untouched from August at $269 a month with $3,999 at signing, and 0.96% Good.
It’s the cheapest monthly payment of any Good-rated deal across the whole site this month.
The EV9 lands exactly on 1.00%, which puts it one hundredth of a point outside the Good tier. Terms are unchanged from August.
Three-row electric for $439 a month. Nothing else at that size gets close on ratio.
The 2026 EQE SUV is the surprise of the month at 1.15%. Mercedes asks $859 a month with $6,333 at signing on an $89,950 electric SUV.
Check the model year before you sign. The 2027 version of the same SUV rates 1.91%, so the deal is on the outgoing car.
The Prologue rounds out the electric top five at 1.20%, though Honda raised the payment from $279 to $339 and cost it a place in the wider ranking.
At $39,900 it is the cheapest way into an electric SUV with real range on this page.
Best plug-in hybrid lease deals right now
Top 5 plug-in hybrid picks for September 2026, ranked by Lease Value Ratio.
The Sportage Plug-in Hybrid takes the top plug-in spot at 1.04% after the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV fell from 0.96% to 1.48%.
$309 a month with $3,999 at signing on a $40,490 sticker. Kia left the terms alone from August.
The CX-70 PHEV shows the lowest advertised payment on this page at $239, but the $7,919 due at signing is the second highest.
Spread over 33 months that upfront cash adds $240 a month, so your true cost is $479. The 1.08% ratio accounts for it.
The three-row CX-90 PHEV runs $299 a month with $9,109 at signing, the largest upfront figure on this page.
At 1.09% it’s still strong value against a $50,495 sticker, but only if you can put down nine thousand dollars.
The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid holds 1.10% on unchanged terms, $329 a month with $3,999 at signing.
It asks less than half the CX-90’s upfront cash for a nearly identical ratio.
The Sorento Plug-in Hybrid is the second Kia in this top five at 1.12%, $429 a month on a $48,290 three-row.
If you want plug-in range and a third row without the CX-90’s due-at-signing, this is the one.
Best traditional hybrid lease deals right now
Top 5 traditional hybrid picks for September 2026, ranked by Lease Value Ratio.
Toyota cut $70 off the payment, dropping the i-Force Max to 1.14% and making it the best hybrid lease on the page.
It’s also the only electrified pickup with an advertised lease offer, and it rates second among all trucks this month.
Toyota cut $40 off the payment and the Highlander Hybrid improved from 1.25% to 1.17%.
Three rows, no plug, $409 a month. It sits second among hybrids, just behind the Tundra.
The CR-V Hybrid sits at 1.18% on a 39-month term, $319 a month with $3,999 at signing.
Honda’s longer term spreads the upfront cash further, which is most of why it rates this well.
The Crown lands at 1.23%, $399 a month with $3,999 at signing on a $41,440 sedan.
Toyota sells it as a raised sedan rather than a crossover, which is why it rarely turns up on SUV lists despite the ride height.
The larger Grand Highlander Hybrid improved to 1.23% after a $20 payment cut. Same $409 monthly as its smaller sibling.
Choosing between the two Highlanders comes down to how much third row you need, not price.

How to evaluate any EV or hybrid lease deal
The 30-second deal check
An electrified lease is judged the same way as any other. A $239 payment on a $44,250 Mazda and a $399 payment on a $58,955 Hyundai are not comparable until you fold in the cash due at signing and the sticker price.
Take your monthly payment, add the amount due at signing divided by the number of months, then divide by the sticker price and multiply by 100.
Value ratio = adjusted monthly / sticker x 100
Real example from this list: the Mazda CX-70 PHEV advertises $239 a month, the lowest payment on the page.
Add $7,919 / 33 months = $240.
True comparison cost is $479 per month on a $44,250 vehicle.
Ratio is 1.08%.
The Kia Niro EV at $269 + ($3,999 / 36) = $380 on a $39,700 sticker comes to 0.96%.
The cheaper advertised payment is the worse deal.
