Best Lease Deals June 2026: IONIQ 9 Holds at $369/mo
Part of our monthly best car deals coverage. See all current offers ranked.
The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 holds the top spot in June 2026 at 0.86% LVR, the same position it earned in May. The bigger story this month is what disappeared: the Toyota Tundra i-Force Max, which led trucks in May at 0.91%, no longer carries a 2025 offer and the 2026 model comes in at 1.24%. That wipes out the one standout gas vehicle from last month.
Three vehicles tie for #2 at 0.96% this month: the Hyundai Ioniq 6, the Kia Niro EV, and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The Outlander PHEV cracking the top 5 is the headline mover of June, the first time Mitsubishi has ranked this high. Kia and Hyundai still dominate with five vehicles in the top 10. Only 26 of 194 deals qualify at 1.2% or better this month.
Every deal below is ranked using the Lease Value Ratio: your monthly payment plus your upfront amount spread evenly across the term, divided by the car’s sticker price. The lower the percentage, the more car you’re getting for your money. Under 0.8% is excellent. Over 1.5% and you should keep shopping.

Top 10 picks for June 2026, ranked by Lease Value Ratio.
Hyundai‘s three-row electric SUV holds the top spot for a second straight month. The terms are identical to May: $369/month on a $59,000 vehicle with $4,999 due at signing. This deal extends to July 6, giving you more runway than most June offers. If you want a large electric family SUV and haven’t acted yet, the math hasn’t changed and neither has the recommendation.
A $42,000 electric sedan at $239/month moves up to #2 this month. The 24-month term keeps your total out of pocket at just $9,735, the lowest total cost of any vehicle in the top 10. Hyundai is supporting the 2025 clearance aggressively. The short term means you’re back in market quickly, which matters as EV technology continues to evolve.
The Niro EV holds at #3 for June with identical terms to May. Kia is also the top finance pick this month at 31.57% score, so if you’re weighing lease versus financing, both options on this car are exceptional. At $13,683 total over 36 months on a $40,000 EV, the value is hard to argue with. The 36-month term beats the Ioniq 6’s 24-month term on total cost and commitment length.
Mitsubishi‘s Outlander PHEV makes the top 5 for the first time in our rankings. The 2025 clearance support is strong: $299/month with the lowest due-at-signing of any top-5 deal at $3,298. The 39-month term is slightly longer than standard, and the offer expires June 30, earlier than most. If the Niro EV is too small and the IONIQ 9 too large, this is the practical plug-in hybrid SUV to look at first. Worth noting: the 2026 model is 1.53% LVR, so make sure you’re getting the 2025.
Kia‘s three-row electric SUV holds at exactly 1.00% LVR for the second straight month. A $54,900 vehicle for $439/month with only $3,999 due at signing. If the IONIQ 9 isn’t available near you, the EV9 is the closest alternative: same three-row electric SUV format, essentially the same deal. Worth having both dealers quote you before committing.
The Mach-E holds its #6 position from May with unchanged terms. Ford is continuing 2025 clearance support as the model year closes out. At $257/month it remains the lowest monthly payment on a mainstream EV outside the top five. The July 6 expiry also gives you extra time compared to the June 30 deadline on some other deals.
The Prologue returns at 1.03% with the same terms as May. Honda‘s General Motors-built electric SUV continues to be well-supported on lease. Note the higher due at signing ($5,099) compared to the Kia and Hyundai deals above. Factor that in when comparing. Still worth a look if Honda’s reliability track record matters to you.
The Sportage PHEV holds its top-10 position for another month at 1.04% LVR. Electric mode handles most daily driving, the gas engine covers longer trips. At $309/month with $3,999 due at signing it’s one of the cleaner deals in the plug-in hybrid segment. A practical option if full EV commitment isn’t right for your situation.
The EV6 makes its debut in the top 10 this month at 1.05% LVR. Kia is also running the top finance offer on the EV6 at 30.91% score, so both lease and finance options on this car are worth running the math on before deciding. At $339/month on a $42,900 performance-oriented electric crossover, the deal is solid for what you get.
The NX 450h+ slips to #10 at 1.07% LVR, up slightly from 1.04% in May as the monthly increases by $20. It remains the best luxury deal on the list. Lexus leads luxury SUVs while BMW and Mercedes both sit above 1.2% this month. If the German brands are on your shortlist, the math strongly favors Lexus. Note the June 30 expiry, earlier than most top-10 offers.

Deals we evaluated but did not recommend
Notable offers that did not make the cut this month
- 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric (ratio: 2.90%) The worst deal on the entire list for the third straight month. At 2.90% LVR, the Kona Electric costs $794/month on a $34,050 vehicle. The non-electric Kona at 1.29% and the Niro EV at 0.96% are dramatically better options if you want a Hyundai in this size class.
- 2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD (ratio: 2.06%) The worst truck deal on the list at $799/month. Heavy-duty truck leases rarely make sense, and this month is no exception. If you need a truck, the F-150 Lightning at 1.12% is the best available and it is in a completely different tier.
- 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (ratio: 1.90%) The same brand that has the Outlander PHEV at #4 at 0.96% offers the Eclipse Cross at 1.90%. Same manufacturer, twice the ratio. If you’re shopping Mitsubishi, there is only one choice this month.
- 2026 Porsche Macan (ratio: 1.81%) Porsche rarely offers competitive lease incentives and June is no exception. At 1.81% on a $64,600 vehicle you are paying primarily for the badge. The Lexus NX 450h+ at 1.07% delivers genuine premium quality with far better lease math.
- 2026 Buick Encore GX (ratio: 1.48%) The $199/month headline looks attractive until you account for $4,649 due at signing on only a 24-month term. That adds $194/month in comparative terms, making the real comparison $393/month on a $26,495 vehicle. That is walk-away territory. The Toyota Corolla offers the same $199/month at a better ratio with a 36-month term.
Our top pick for each vehicle category
One best-value pick per category. Click through for the full ranked list in each segment.
The F-150 Lightning leads trucks at 1.12% LVR. It is the best available truck deal, but it is not an exceptional result. The Tundra i-Force Max that led trucks in May at 0.91% has no comparable 2025 offer this month and the 2026 model is at 1.24%. If you need a truck, the Lightning is the right choice; just know you are in fair territory, not a standout deal.
See all truck lease dealsThe IONIQ 9 at 0.86% is the overall best deal and also an SUV, so it leads the overall ranking. For a dedicated SUV alternative, the Outlander PHEV at 0.96% is the top non-IONIQ pick. At $299/month on a $39,845 plug-in hybrid SUV with only $3,298 at signing, it has the lowest upfront cost in the top five. The offer expires June 30, earlier than most.
See all SUV lease dealsThe best compact EV lease on the market. The IONIQ 9 leads overall but it is a large three-row SUV. The Niro EV at $269/month is the top pick if you want something smaller, and the 36-month term beats the Ioniq 6 on total cost if you prefer a longer commitment. The federal credit flows through automatically, no income limits or tax filing required.
See all EV and hybrid lease dealsThe NX 450h+ leads the luxury segment at 1.07% LVR. It moved slightly from 1.04% in May as the monthly ticked up $20. BMW and Mercedes both sit well above 1.2% this month. For luxury buyers who want plug-in hybrid efficiency with a competitive deal, this remains the clear choice. Expires June 30, so less runway than July deals.
See all luxury lease dealsThe Odyssey holds the minivan top spot at 1.26% LVR. Not exceptional, but the best of the segment. The Kia Carnival trails at 1.38%. If you are shopping minivans this month and both the Odyssey and Pacifica are available near you, run the numbers on both before committing. The Odyssey’s July 6 expiry gives you more time to compare.
See all minivan lease dealsThe Ioniq 6 at $239/month leads the under-$300 category on ratio. Others in this range: Kia Niro EV at $269/month (36mo), Mach-E at $257/month, Honda Prologue and Outlander PHEV both at $299/month. Every deal under $300 this month is an EV or PHEV, which tells you exactly where the value is concentrated right now.
See all budget lease dealsThe Trailblazer is the only deal on the 194-deal list with under $1,500 at signing this month. At $1,029 upfront it is essentially the closest thing to a true low-down lease available. The ratio of 1.36% is average, not exceptional, but if minimizing day-one cash outlay is the priority this is the best option available. Expires July 7.
See all zero down lease dealsShould you lease or buy right now?
Here is a direct answer for June 2026.
For electric vehicles: leasing continues to make more sense than buying for most people. When you buy an EV, you need to meet income requirements and have enough federal tax liability to use the $7,500 clean vehicle credit. Many buyers cannot. When a manufacturer leases you the car, they claim the credit and pass the savings directly to you as a lower payment. The Niro EV at $269/month and the IONIQ 9 at $369/month would both be roughly $150 to $200 higher without this credit flowing through.
For gas vehicles: buying at a negotiated price still wins long-term. The Tundra i-Force Max was the one standout exception last month. In June, no gas vehicle lands in the top 10. The F-150 Lightning at 1.12% is the best truck option, but that is a fair deal, not a compelling lease argument. Unless you specifically need the flexibility of a short-term commitment, owning a gas vehicle tends to come out ahead over four or more years.
Lean toward leasing if…
- You want an EV and benefit from the credit pass-through
- You prefer swapping cars every two to three years
- You want predictable costs with no surprise repair bills
- You drive under 12,000 miles per year
Lean toward buying if…
- You plan to keep the car more than four years
- You drive significantly over 12,000 miles per year
- You want to build equity in the vehicle
- You are looking at a gas car with weak lease incentives
How to evaluate any deal your dealer shows you
The 30-second deal check
Your dealer may show you an offer that is not on this list. Take the monthly payment, add the amount due at signing divided by the number of months, then divide that by the sticker price and multiply by 100.
Value ratio = adjusted monthly ÷ sticker price × 100
Example: $350/month, $3,000 due at signing, 36 months, $38,000 sticker. Adjusted monthly = $350 + $83 = $433. Ratio = 1.14%. That is fair: acceptable, but there is room to push back.
Why this matters: it exposes deals that look cheap because the payment is low but bury thousands in upfront costs. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV at #4 this month is the mirror image: $3,298 due at signing is the lowest in the top five, which makes the 0.96% ratio even more impressive.
What the ratings mean
Most sites sort by monthly payment alone. That lets a large upfront amount hide a bad deal entirely. This ratio captures the full picture in one number.
Plain-English example: A 0.96% ratio on a $40,000 car means you are paying about $384/month in true comparable cost. A 1.90% ratio on a $28,000 car would be $532/month. The second deal looks cheaper on paper but costs more in any honest comparison.
How we find and rank lease deals
At the start of each month I visit every major manufacturer’s website and collect their current advertised lease offers directly. No third-party aggregators, no dealer submissions. Every deal in the table above comes straight from the source, verified on the same day.
To rank deals I calculate the Lease Value Ratio: your adjusted monthly cost divided by the vehicle’s sticker price. Adjusted monthly is your stated payment plus the amount due at signing spread evenly across the lease term. This is a comparison tool, not a payment quote. Your actual monthly payment is the figure in the monthly payment column. The adjusted figure exists to let you compare a deal with $1,000 due at signing against a deal with $5,000 due at signing on a fair, equal basis.
I also note lease term length, amounts due at signing, and any loyalty or conquest offers that restrict who qualifies. All deals are verified at publishing and updated at the start of each month. Offers vary by region and credit score. Always confirm current pricing locally before committing.
